Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

Episode 118: Sphinxes, Dragons, and Darker Things featuring Lo

In Episode 118, Lo the Lynx joins the Fingers of Davos to follow Pate through the twisty and misty streets of Oldtown to meet his fate during the AFFC prologue.  But first we learn about Oldtown, Pate's infatuation with Rosey, and about his “friends” as well, including one Sphinx:  Alleras. Pate has been up to no good to obtain a single Golden Dragon so that he can make Rosey "his" (blech, I just threw up a little in my mouth), committing a crime that has his future looking pretty murky.
But our guest from the Khalasar has been up to LOTS of good as they bring the expert analysis we knew we could count on about Pate, yes, but lots of other things too as we got to know Lo quite a bit better.  As usual, it was a joy!

Episode 117: Father with Bloodrider Kyle

In episode 117 we spend a majority of the time within Jaime's head as he stands vigil for his father's funeral.  That is right, Tywin is dead and almost 200 pages later, we are still burying him.  And he is stanky.  But bloodrider Kyle is less than stanky, and he brings the analysis on this chapter like non other.  From the brotherly relationship while Jaime is freeing Tyrion, to the ghostly father/son dynamics that show very clearly the power dynamic between Tywin and his children.  This one goes deep on the feelings and emotions, so strap in.
As always, however, the best part of these episodes is when we get to know our guests a little better, so hold on to your hats and enjoy as we all learn a bit more about Dent and how he found the fandom!

Episode 116: Let Us Do Our Duty with Megan

In episode 116, Matt and Scad chat with Bloodrider Megan as we return to Sansa, whom we haven’t covered since the first episode of Meet the Khalasar.  And it gets deep here, folks as we are covering Sansa III from ASOS, a chapter in which Sansa’s hopes and dreams are dashed to the ground (again), she is forced to marry a Lannister and suffers trauma at every turn.  Megan dives into the fray with some expert analysis on this chapter as we plumb the depths of the mental warfare the Lannisters are waging.  But as always, the best parts of these episodes is getting to know a bloodrider a bit better.  Learning more about Megan was a delight, and we know you will all enjoy getting to know per as well.
We will be continuing the Meet the Khalasar series very soon, but the next episode won’t be released until early November as we have some conflicts over the coming weeks.  We will see you then!

Marcus joins the Fingers for this episode covering one of his favorite chapters:  A Ghost in Winterfell.  Together, we dive into the mysteries presented in this chapter where bodies start turning up without explanation and conflicts arise without need for explanation. Mystery is afoot, but so is psychological trauma.  So buckle in for a headier chapter of ASOIAF.  Also, we get to know Marcus, a possibly lesser known soul in the fandom, but his soul is that of a poet.  Listen in to be dazzled like we were!
