Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

Episode 155: Plum Bob

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:01:00 -0700

In Episode 155 Kvothe plays a trick and a song at the Eolian. But the reaction is not what he hoped for, perhaps affecting hs ability to collect coin from the wealthy establishment there. To make matters worse, Kvothe has been poisoned, causing him to bungle his admissions and achieve his worst tuition yet! Even after he has collected his various moneys from his artificing, and playing tips, his purse is still a bit light, so back to Devi he must go. And the Fingers are here for it!

We cover this series spoiler-free in the main section, but Devi After Dark is our chance to dive into the wilder speculation about these books, at the end of each episode. We hope to bring you the best of our own theories and thoughts in the fandom as we move through the series.

Mon, 13 May 2024 06:01:00 -0700

In this episode the Fingers kick off their coverage of The Wise Man’s Fear, the second book of The Kingkiller Chronicle, by Patrick Rothfuss. In what is a bit of a catchup series of chapters, we see the silence of the Inn, the magical illusion Kote has laid upon the civilians of the town that even he can’t overcome, and we reacquaint ourselves with the Eolian as Kvothe tries to make some money for tuition…the same old song and dance!

We do have Devi After Dark available again at the end of the episode. We cover this series spoiler-free in the main section, but Devi After Dark is our chance to dive into the wilder speculation which so many have already spent hours and days laying out in various locations.

Episode 152: The Wind and the Wheel

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 07:01:00 -0700

In this episode of Davos Fingers covering NINE chapters, Denna gets over her high while Kvothe confronts the rampaging Draccus and offers it some Sympathy before making his way home to the University. He has many apologies to give and amends to make there, but one consistent thorn in Kvothe’s side learns that sticks and stones may be bad, but Names actually can hurt something fierce. He also goes up on the horns, again, and is sentenced to a lashing, awarded a small fortune, expelled from the University, promoted to Re’lar, and readmitted to the University in the span of a few minutes. And lastly, Kvothe finally gathers the courage to ask Auri to show him her home. It’s a lot of content, and the Fingers enjoyed every minute of it!

If you love all the good spoilery bits talked about in the future sections of this book, don’t miss Devi After Dark at the end of the episode where we chat about some of the deeper mysteries in this series. But if you are reading along for the first time, don’t worry, all spoilers will be avoided until then!

We love to hear from our listeners and sometimes even feature their questions on air! So send us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com.

Episode 151: Blue Flame

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 15:04:47 -0700

In this Epiosode Matt and Scad follow Kvothe and his sometimes companion Denna as they continue to unravel the mystery of blue flame that Denna saw at Mauthen's Wedding. It isn't what they think as they are forced to contend with a mythical creature of legend: A Dragon. Or is it. Not only that but the creature is on an addiction-riddled hunt for his next fix, and Kvothe and Denna feel like they must stop it. Inside, the Fingers also unravel the importance of honesty in storytelling, tell some of their own tales, and laugh along at each other as usual!

The Davos' Fingers podcast is spoiler free as we tackle The Name of the Wind just as we were during our coverage of ASOIAF. So sit back and listen comfortably with the knowledge that we will not cover any material in this episode beyond Chapter 78. At least until our spoiler section at the end, which we lovingly call Devi After Dark.

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 07:01:00 -0700

Matt and Scad celebrate their 150th episode with a doozy of a selection of chapters from The Name of the Wind. Kvothe hears that the Chandrian have appeared only one day prior and a mere afternoon’s ride away. He drops everything, procures a loan for a horse and sets off to see evidence of this childhood faerie tale turned real life trauma. When he arrives, Denna just happens to be the only survivor from the slaughter, and the two of them tour the scene of the crime together. Also inside, we reminisce about our 150 episodes together and share some heartfelt and very touching listener feedback from the Khalasar.

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 06:01:00 -0700

In Episode 148, Matt and Scad go walking and talking with Kvothe and Denna as the pair connect for hours after Kvothe skips out on work. It's also a bit of a catchup episode. Kvothe has all sorts of opportunity in front of him now that he has obtained his talent pipes and completed his training in the artificery, but what will he prioritize, and can he focus on getting a little bit ahead in life, or will he get distracted by the things he doesn't have.

Our coverage of the first book of The Kingkiller Chronicle, The Name of the Wind, continues while we take a break waiting for more content in the ASOIAF universe. But don't sleep on the KKC, it is a deeply rich world to play with. Come join us! As always, spoiler free for anything beyond Chapter 64.

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 06:01:00 -0700

Episode 147: Caught By A Smile

The boys from Davos’ Fingers get a nice easy break this episode to sit back and listen to a master at work. This series of chapters is contained almost entirely within the happening music spot, The Eolian, where Kvothe attempts to “earn his pipes”. A small trinket fashioned to look like silver pipes, they will earn him money and clout if he is successful. But it is no easy task, as it takes a flawless and moving performance from a skilled artist, with most attempts not meeting the bar. Kvothe drinks with his good friends, makes a few new ones, and is reunited with an old one from months ago all in this one magical night at the Eolian.

The Davos’ Fingers Podcast has drifted away from ASOIAF for a time to dive into the wonderful world created by Patrick Rothfuss within The Kingkiller Chronicle. Join us as we walk through The Name of the Wind, spoiler free of anything beyond the chapters covered here (53-59).

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:01:00 -0700

The Fingers find Kvothe at the end of his first term considerably richer than he was when he first arrived, with a true enemy in Ambrose, and a wild reputation that is MOSTLY true spreading like wildfire through the University. But as he approaches his second term and finds himself short of tuition money with no easy way to get more, he turns to scary options in order to stay a student, and even scarier options to bring music back into his life. There is also a woman waiting in the wings…or maybe she entered in this set of chapters? Come join us to get our thoughts on the matter.

Episode 145: Banned

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 06:01:00 -0700

Well the Fingers have certainly stumbled into a Tavern Tale, though Kvothe might disagree. This episode moves FAST. Kvothe gets to teach his first lesson at the University (you didn't misread that), gets punished and rewarded for it (you didn't misread that either), then gets his wounds tended to, but then opens a new wound himself by disobeying a serious rule of the University. If only he had figured out that 4-plated DOOR first!! So much happens to Kvothe so quickly, sometimes you just want to tell him to slow down, but here we are! Matt and Scad have really hit their stride in their coverage of The Kingkiller Chronicle weaving pop culture and their personal lives in with some in-depth analysis of the text. Like listening to two friends chat about something you love, come join us!

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 05:46:27 -0700

In Episode 144*, the Fingers follow Kvothe into Imre and further into the depths of the University. Inside, we get a cultural education about the University, and we meet the Masters that control admissions. Kvothe must work some Kvothian magic to be admitted, but once he is, we get to meet some new friends and some new enemies. Kvothe is at the University at last; where he thinks he belongs, and that is something to celebrate.

Episode 142: Tarbean

Mon, 01 May 2023 07:00:00 -0700

The Fingers travel with Kvothe to Tarbean to get some new lute strings, and you faithful listeners are coming with us. Kvothe's mind is a terrifying place these days, and he is coping via copious lute playing, becoming a master that can compose new works and play through broken strings. But when his third string breaks he finds himself on the move to a place where he can get replacements, for the idea of existing with lute playing is ludicrous. But the city he finds, Tarbean, is unwelcoming and hard. In a rollercoaster episode full of helpful heroes and dangerous demons, Pat allows us to feel like we are right there, huddled with Kvothe in his place where the three roofs meet.

Our coverage of The Name of the Wind continues as we divert from ASOIAF for a time. We hope you enjoy the Kingkiller Chronicle as much as we are!

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 07:01:00 -0700

Episode 137: She Deserved More Than Darkness

Fri, 25 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0700

Meet the Khalasar is back in Episode 137, but with a little twist! Scad interviews Matt with some deep dive questions so that we can all learn a little bit more about one of the best guys in the fandom. And he has picked a great chapter for us to unravel, and one we haven’t spoken about in a long long time: Eddard ONE of A Game of Thrones. In this chapter King Robert arrives at Winterfell and the two besties from childhood immediately isolate themselves for a trip down memory lane as Robert pays his respects to Lyanna. So join us as we tour the crypts of Winterfell and the recesses of Matt’s brain. And what a brain it is. Inside you will get to learn a lot about Matt’s kids, his thoughts on what excites him about the future of ASOIAF, how he balances all of his many roles and communities in his life, and after 8 years of podcasting, we finally get him to toss in a little scripture for us. Matt knows how to give the people what they want! Next up for the Fingers is probably easy to guess.

Episode 136: The Black Queen

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0700

House of the Dragon season one has come to an end and so does our coverage of it in episode 136: The Black Queen. Rhaenys has delivered the message of Viserys' passing to Dragonstone, and team Rhaenyra has to contend with a baby on the way, a usurped throne, a questionable roster of allies, and their own very conflicted emotions about an impending war and the loss of loved ones. Stretched thin, they use all the resources at their disposal as best as they can, but at what cost?

House of the Dragon might be over for now, but the Davos’ Fingers Podcast is going right back into it! We will see you back here for a new episode of Meet the Khalasar in three weeks as we leave the show behind and let the books take center stage as they should. Meet the Khalasar episodes dive into a single chapter with Matt, Scad and a single member of the Khalasar while also letting us all get to know that Bloodrider better. So come check out the podcast in three weeks for a brand new episode.

Episode 135: The Green Council

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0700

In episode 135 of the Davos' Fingers podcast, we unwrap the gift that is episode 9 of House of the Dragon: the Green Council. Viserys has passed and Alicent and the rest of the small council move swiftly to install Prince Aegon as the new King. What to do with Rhaenyra and Daemon is the only thing they can’t agree on, so the Greens bicker and argue without a King yet in place to make the final decision. Aegon’s coronation is a lovely event full of Targaryen heraldry and title, but two Queens are also intent on having their own thoughts heard regarding the Succession.

This is the penultimate episode of Davos’ Fingers coverage of House of the Dragon as the season only has one more episode remaining. So catch up with us next Friday for that final romp as we uncover what happened in the finale and spend some time prognosticating about what Season 2 may bring. With Fire and Blood as our guide, the Dragons after Dark segment will be full of spoilers as we look at what this season gave us, meld it with our knowledge of Fire and Blood, and try to predict the future. It is sure to be a blast! So come find us here or on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel for that episode.

Episode 134: The Prince of the Tides

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0700

In episode 134, the Fingers of Davos sneak into a family occasion at the Red Keep as Vaemond Valaryon has forced the question of Velaryon succession on the Throne, counting on a favorable decision from Alicent and Otto to rule in his favor. But Rhaenayra and Daemon have convinced Viserys to rule in their favor, and Viserys makes it a point to show up for his daughter. Viserys has plans of his own, though, too. A plan to unite his family in a last, desperate dinner to bring all their conflicts to a conclusion and unite House Targaryen

We bring a new Davos’ Fingers episode every Friday. These episodes focus on the happenings of the previous House of the Dragon installment as well as a sneak peak at what next week’s episode may unveil. We make sure to cover each and every scene with our thoughts and insights before we look forward to what might be upcoming in our segment called Dragons After Dark.

The funeral of Laena Velaryon has brought the whole cast of characters to Driftmark, and we follow them there in Episode 133 of the Davos’ Fingers podcast, also called: Driftmark. It is an awkward affair that sparks a romance and wedding, a dragon claimed, Velaryon discord, and family infighting that will ring throughout Westeros for years to come. Viserys struggles to keep it all together while Rhaenyra and Alicent tear at the seams for power and control.

Each Friday morning, Davos’ Fingers will release a new episode to cover the happenings of the previous week’s House of the Dragon episode.

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0700

Episode 132 of the Davos’ Fingers Podcast covers the sixth episode of House of the Dragon: The Princess and the Queen. Let’s do the time warp again, because in this episode we skip ahead around 10 years to find Alicent and Rhaenyra with 3 children each, Daemon with a new wife and two twin girls of his own, and Viserys with a seemingly tentative grip on control of the realm and life itself. Rhaenyra, feeling her own hold on the throne slipping away, proposes a marriage to unite the two factions of House Targaryen, an offer coldly received.

Davos’ Fingers will release our weekly House of the Dragon coverage each Friday morning to cover the happenings of the previous week and to look forward toward what we think is coming in the upcoming episode. Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide the Dragons After Dark segment will be full of spoilers as we try to forecast how the sands of the hourglass will fall.

The Fingers of Davos continue their coverage of House of the Dragon in Episode 131. With the question of succession (still) looming large, Viserys makes a wedding pact that he hopes will stabilize the kingdom and ensure Rhaenyra’s path to rule. Rhaenyra and her new betrothed, Laenor Velaryon make their own plans for happiness, while Alicent, Daemon, and Ser Criston Cole all adjust their behavior and loyalties in response to the union, and to the shifting balance of power. Lastly, the Strongs assert themselves as players in the game as well, showing support for Viserys, but also a penchant for sewing some chaos of their own.

Join Davos’ Fingers weekly for House of the Dragon Coverage! We will release each Friday morning to cover what went down in the previous week’s episode, but also to look ahead to the next episode. Our special Dragons after Dark segment will offer a spoiler-filled look at what we think is coming next based on direction of the show and our deep dives into Fire and Blood. This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel!

Episode 130: King of the Narrow Sea

Fri, 16 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0700

Episode 130: King of the Narrow Sea features a family reunited as Daemon returns for his years long exile and war in the Stepstones and Rhaenyra gives up on the processional to find a consort. But Daemon’s return lights a spark in Rhaenyra at exactly the right (or wrong?) moment, interrupting her thoughts which are fixated on a life lived in the gilded cage of marriage into which she is being forced. Passion, duty, power dynamics, and manipulation abound in this episode filled with outstanding performances and deft direction.

House of the Dragon is with us every week, so we will join you every week! Davos’ Fingers will release every Friday morning with a recap of the previous episode and a special Dragons after Dark segment to tease the upcoming episode and make some predictions about what is to come! This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel!

Episode 129: The Second of His Name

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 07:01:00 -0700

In Episode 129 Matt and Scad cover House of the Dragon’s third entry: The Second of His Name. In this episode, Viserys struggles with the pull of prophecy and portent against his own proclamation of Rhaenyra being his heir. We dive into that relationship between Rhaenyra and her father with an interesting promise being made by Viserys. We also look at Alicent and her expanding influence. Lastly, we examine the savage battle being waged in the Stepstones by Daemon and Corlys Velaryon. So gather a blanket and settle in to enjoy our coverage of the latest hit series, House of the Dragon!

We are covering The House of the Dragon every week, with a plan to release a summary and primer for the coming week each Friday! So it will be a busy few months for the Fingers. This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel in video format.

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0700

Oh Man. Episode 128 is Awesome! Amazing! The best ever. Actually, nah, it’s kind of a setup episode for what is coming, and boy do we unpack some of that!

Matt and Scad take a no-holds-barred approach to dissecting what is really happening with Viserys and Alicent, Rhaenyra and Alicent, Rhaenyra and Daemon…well, you get the idea, we are going into all of it! Daemon is in exile, Alicent and Otto are plotting, and Viserys and Rhaenyra are just trying to get by as family…so join us as we unpack!

Episode 127: The Heirs of the Dragon

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0700

In Episode 127, Matt and Scad take a leap into the HBO series The House of the Dragon, covering its first episode: The Heirs of the Dragon. With Jaehaerys’ rule coming to an end, and the succession unclear, the assembled Lords of Westeros choose Viserys I to rule the 7 Kingdoms. But it isn’t long before Viserys has his own succession problems as he struggles to produce a male heir. With a child on the way for Queen Aemma though, hope springs and King’s Landing holds a tourney to celebrate. But things do not go as planned, and Viserys is left with an unruly council, a brutal brother, and a dutiful but overlooked daughter to contend with as the succession looms again.

This is the first in what will be weekly episodes covering the new HBO series, The House of the Dragon. So it will be a busy few months for the Fingers. Check back here each Friday for a recap of the previous week and to get excited for the upcoming episode as well. This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel in video format.

Episode 126: Whispering Lullabies featuring Zander

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:37:19 -0700

In the final installment of Meet the Khalasar, the Fingers of Davos are joined by the zen-like Zander as we dive into Jaime’s penultimate chapter in asoiaf, Jaime VII of A Feast for Crows. In it, we find a Jaime busy with wrapping up the final business odds and ends for the Wot5K in the Riverlands. We see an effective Jaime, a productive Jaime. But we also see a frustrated man dealing with the escape of a slippery Blackfish and grappling with what his role will be like when he does return to King’s Landing; his sister having created an entirely different mess that will need his attention, if she’s still alive that is.

Zander on the other hand creates no mess. It was a delight to get to know Zander a lot better. He has been with us since the beginning, but mostly keeping to the shadows, and it was nice to shine a light on this kind, generous, and thoughtful friend. We can’t wait for everyone to hear his asoiaf story and some of his personal tales.

Next up for the Fingers? Oh, just a little D. HotD, that is! That’s right, for the first time, Davos’ Fingers is going to be doing…duh duh duh…..SHOW Coverage. House of the Dragon just looks and sounds too good to pass up, and the Fandom is absolutely DROOLING over it, so we figured we really had to give the people what they want. More details to come, but look for a release in the week following the first Episode of House of the Dragon, which premiers on 8/21/22!

Episode 125: Poor Pyat Pree featuring Anne

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 08:59:34 -0700

This installment of Davos' Fingers features one of our longest tenured friends, Anne, or sweetyft as you might know her. It also features a pretty ancient chapter as well, reaching way back to Dany IV of A Clash of Kings, sometimes just referred to as the House of the Undying chapter. Dany dives headfirst into a magical maze of mages, culminating in a face off with the Undying themselves. With questionable but intriguing visions along the way, what is real, what is just drug-induced, and how much does it matter when Dany can't make sense of any of it when she gets out?

Regardless of what Dany can make sense of, we can all make sense of Anne's quality takes. We talk Ice and Fire Con, D&D and many other things as we all get to know Anne a little better. Please go chat with her, she is a pulls-no-punches delight.

Up Next for the Fingers is one more meet the Khalasar episode followed by a bit of a change of direction, so LOOK OUT!

Episode 124: Tales of the Nightfort with K2

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 05:37:23 -0700

The magical energy of K2 joins forces with Matt and Scad for Episode 124 wherein we talk about Bran and the scooby doo gang's visit to the legendary Nightfort! Jojen told them to come to this specific castle on the Wall, but the way is sealed, and now they are stuck here with a billion things that go bump in the night...including a big one that seems to be climbing the well where they are sleeping...

Don't sleep on K2 though! As always, she brings her friendly demeanor and positive energy to this episode and getting to know this master cake artist was the true highlight of the Episode. Give it a listen, then go find K2 on twitter, because she is a riot!

Episode 123: No One Had No Tears featuring Julie

Mon, 30 May 2022 06:52:33 -0700

In Episode 123, Bloodrider Julie adds her voice to Davos’ Fingers to dissect Arya’s time at the House of Black and White as The Blind Girl. It’s a sensual delight of a chapter as we learn to see Arya’s world through her ears, nose, and mouth. She goes about her daily chores, learns how to live (and fight) without her sight, and learns the secrets of Braavos as Beth the Blind Girl. But it's Arya’s progress as a skinchanger that makes this chapter really sing.

And Beth makes us sing as well. With her positive outlook and energy, her passion for all sorts of music and her deep love of the fandom, Juliebeth is a bright light on the episode, and getting to know this longtime Bloodrider better was a real treat.

Episode 122: The She-wolf and the Leech Lord featuring StefLyoness

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 06:38:25 -0700

Stef joins the fingers for Episode 122 and it is a riot. Making our way to Arya for the first time in our Meet The Khalasar cycle is a treat with Stef along for the ride. In this episode Arya is stuck as cup-bearer to Roose Bolton and a LOT is weighing on her young mind. Should see stick it out here with an impending regime change, or strike out on her own against a sea of troubles. Neither it turns out, as she still has some friends left, friends who join her.

Arya is in a tight spot in this chapter, but Stef brings her humor and diverse experiences to the table to help us uncover the gems inside this chapter. And as usual, simply getting to know a new friend is the best part of the Meet The Khalasar process. Come meet StefLyoness if you haven't already!

We are in the thick of A Song of Madness 2022 and as such. we are just taking a couple weeks off of the normal episodes as it wades into the heavy portion. But we will be back shortly with more episodes for you!

Epiosode 121: Burning the Hand That Feeds You

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 07:36:09 -0700

The Fingers of Davos are joined by Litbringer Mandy for a burnin down the house Episode 121, literally. Cersei III of AFFC features a Cersei struggling to maintain her grip on power and on her sanity and on her sense of self, all culminating in setting a mighty blaze to the Tower of the Hand. A month or two removed from her eldest son's death at the Purple Wedding, Cersei is now confronted with marrying off her second son to the same woman, Margaery Tyrell. Still in mourning and seeing threats in every shadow, this truly turns into Cersei's no good, very bad day. But a resolved Cersei sets the Tower of the Hand on fire using the alchemist substance, wildfire, and burning away her fear and paranoia, filling her with a sense of resolve, and flushing out any rats that may still be hiding inside its many hidden pathways.

But it wasn't a no good, very bad day for Matt and Scad because they get to know Mandy a bit better. A positive force and the creative energy behind the Litbringers, Mandy gives us insight into herself and the Litbringers. It was a delight to share the episode with her as A Song of Madness nears its opening whistle.

We will be back in 3 weeks with yet another Meet the Khalasar episode, we are continuing to release special episodes on the I Am Mercury series by Grant Piercy and The Wheel of Time Amazon series to Patrons.

Episode 120: Bewitched featuring Bloodrider Gene

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 05:57:54 -0700

In Episode 120 Matt and Scad are joined by Bloodrider Gene to talk Sans…er…Alayne 1 of A Feast for Crows. In this chapter, found smack dab in the middle of AFFC, we find Alayne also in the middle of a pretty drastic personal journey. She is doing her level best to please her new “dad”, keep young Robert mollified, and prepare the Eyrie for the Lords Declarant all while maintaining her grip on her sense of self. These Lords have been making life a bit difficult for Petyr, blocking supplies from reaching them on the mountain, and insisting that Robert and the Vale be returned to friends.

Gene doesn’t make life difficult for the Fingers though. Instead, he is a delight and learning more about him was the best part of our chat. Settle in as Gene provides some moving personal stories and gives us some info about how he found the fandom.

This is our first episode of 2022, but we will be back with more Meet the Khalasar next month. On Patreon we have kicked back into gear with Grant Piercy’s I Am Mercury series. So go join us there to unlock film reviews, special episodes and other gems!

Episode 119: Euron Undressed featuring Jon

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 09:57:56 -0700

In Episode 119, Bloodrider Jon joins Matt and Scad to talk about everyone’s favorite bludgeoning instrument of death, Victarion Greyjoy, in the second of his POV chapters of A Feast for Crows: The Reaver. It’s a chapter of three parts including a raging sea battle, roiling self-reflection and introspection, and a celebration feast. But no celebration feast is complete without an overt challenge to authority, at least not when the Ironborn do it, and Euron’s plan for the Ironborn’s immediate future is given a harsh rebuke by Rodrik The Reader.

As usual though, the best part of this episode is diving deeper into the folds of our guest (eww). Jon doesn’t disappoint as we talk hockey, cheese fries, and all things nerd. So sit back and enjoy Khalasar.

We will be taking a short break for the Holidays but will be back in mid-January with more Meet the Khalasar episodes and, for patrons, furthering our coverage of the I Am Mercury series by Grant Piercy. So check back here in a month for more fun conversations with the Fingers!

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

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 07:31:28 -0700

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

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 07:40:07 -0700

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!

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.

Just how impatient is Arianne? Just how patient is Doran? And what is the actual underlying conflict in this chapter that is far more important than the insurrection attempted by Arianne in the deserts of Dorne.

Stannis seeks surrender from a force well-protected behind the massive walls of Storm’s End, but Ser Cortnay isn’t having it. However, Stannis has Melisandre, a priestess of R’hllor, on his side and is willing to resort to...other methods. We spend the other half of the episode learning about our friend Justin.

Episode 107: The Tale of the Liddle Crannogman with Katrina

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 09:53:08 -0700

In episode 107, bloodrider Katrina joins Matt and Scad to discuss Bran II from A Storm of Swords. In this chapter we get the legendary story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree, but so much more. We get history of the hills and locals, we get arguments about traveling by road, we get a meal of sausage and oatcakes, and we get skingchanging...attempts...ok, so it's MOSTLY the Knight of the Laughing Tree. But what a story! The real pleasure of this episode is getting better acquainted with Katrina. From her illustrious career counting coppers to her hilarious stories about her family, she is a treasure and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did.

We are enjoying the meet the Khalasar series and it continues on with Bloodrider Justin in episode 108! So check back in three weeks for that episode.

Episode 106: "Bring Out Your Dead"; Davos the Deadman with Chace

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 08:45:47 -0700

Davos was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. Or is there? Bloodrider Chace joins the Fingers of Davos as we delve deeply into the Wolf’s Den, where Davos, previously thought dead by many a reader, lives on and in relative comfort. Davos’ examines his own mortality, his relationship with his family, and we are right there with him. From there we are off to the castle to learn that the North Remembers, and what one Northerner is going to do about it. More importantly, we spend a bunch of time getting to know Chace a little better, and we know you guys will enjoy it as much as we did.

Meet the Khalasar continues, and we look forward to getting closer with our friends, and diving deep on individual chapters. But we are taking a little pause for the Holidays, with our next regular episode scheduled to drop on January 18th.

Episode 105: Only the Cold with Bword

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 07:25:55 -0700

Brrr...it’s cold in here, there must be some daggers in the atmosphere. Bword, riddler extraordinaire and Queen Beyond the Wall, joins the Fingers for Episode 105: Only the Cold. In this episode we cover Jon’s final chapter of A Dance with Dragons in which he faces off against pink letters and dark daggers. Also Selyse has no impact, Jon delivers a rousing speech, and Wun Wun rages. We spend some quality time with a friend and get to know her a little better as well, and we hope you enjoy getting to know her better as well!

We will be continuing the Meet the Khalasar series in three weeks with Bloodrider Chace. And before that, you can check us out on Patreon where we will be releasing a new Whatifisode about what Westeros might look like if Beric had won the trial by battle under the Hollow Hill. Also coming in December, a new special episode: the first Best of Davos’ Fingers episode!

Lastly, please give us a shout if you have anything to say about ASOIAF or the podcast itself. We love hearing from the Khalasar, or even Sorefoot Kings with nothing nice to say. We can easily be found on Facebook, or via email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on tumblr at davosfingers.com, and we hang out on twitter most of all, @davosfingers. If you want to support the cast with some moola, check us out on patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers!

Episode 104: Snow Castles with Misa

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 08:18:20 -0700

We introduce a new format in this episode: Meet the Khalasar. The whole goal of this format is to learn more about some of our friends, while delving deeply into each Bloodrider’s favorite chapter. The first entry features Misa, our Queen of Gifs and Beauty, as we review her favorite chapter: Sansa VII from A Storm of Swords. We explore Sansa’s growth, her confidence, and her loneliness against the backdrop of unwanted advances from Petyr and truly unwarranted accusations from her troubled Aunt Lysa. It’s a beautiful and iconic chapter and Misa joined in like an old pro. We hope you enjoy!

If you enjoyed our Whatifisodes, check out our Patreon offering as we have a new Whatifisode coming out later this month: What if Beric had won the Trial By Battle under the Hollow Hill. That can be found at patreon.com/davosfingers. And make sure you come back to us later this month as we spend some time with Bloodrider Bword!

If you want to chat or ask us a question, we can be found at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook. We love hearing from you guys, so drop us a line. Lastly, if you want to support the cast, go check out our patreon site at patreon.com/davosfingers.

Selection Covered: A Storm of Swords, Sansa VII mostly, but we duck in and out of other events in the main series. So spoilers beware.

Episode 103: What if Jaime Hadn't Pushed Bran?

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 06:14:01 -0700

In Episode 103, we delve into a world in which Jaime does not toss Bran from a window, a lighter timeline...maybe. In this timeline Jaime intimidates Bran into silence. Bran goes south, Jaime is not a child murderer, and the 3-eyed crow has to make some choices. This change obviously has huge impacts on Bran and Jaime as people, their arcs completely change. But surprisingly, the Fingers think lots of things might actually stay the same.

We hope you enjoy this final regular release of Whatifisodes series. This series will be continuing as a rotating part of our Patreon offering. So if you really like the format, check us out there! Next episode we will be bringing on Bloodrider Misa to talk about her favorite chapter: Sansa VII from A Storm of Swords. We will learn about Misa and what brought her to ASOIAF while we talk through that one chapter in depth. We are really excited for it, so be sure to check that out in three weeks! But for now enjoy this last Whatifisode.

Lastly, send us some raven mail! We can be found at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook.

Selection covered: While we focus pretty heavily on Bran and Jaime themselves, this episode reaches out and touches lots of areas of the story, so it covers all books.

Episode 102: What If Daenerys Ignored Jorah but Got the Golden Company Instead?

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 06:56:18 -0700

The Fingers of Davos embark on episode 102 where we answer the question: What if Dany had ignored Jorah, and got the Golden Company instead? It turns out, Bloodriders, that this is a complicated question. How long does it take her to get to Pentos? How long until the Golden Company can arrive? Can Pentos even CONTACT a sellsword company? Where will Dany land and when? What is going on in Westeros at that time? Dany has been so isolated from the events of Westeros that they have continued on largely without influence from her, and we assume they do still. So sit back and enjoy this very time-dependent question!!!

We have one more of these Whatifisodes left and then it is on to a new format wherein we bring in friends of the podcast to talk about their favorite chapters. But for now, sit back and relax as we talk some Daenerys!

Please reach out to us. We love hearing from fans of George’s work. We can be found for complaints, suggestions and praise at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook.

Selection covered: Be advised, this episode spans all works of George from dusk to dawn, from beginning to end, it can cover anything and everything, so spoilers beware.

Episode 101: What If Joffrey Had Sent Ned to the Wall

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 05:31:25 -0700

Episode 101 brings us to Ned and his head. If it doesn’t roll, what happens? We have all been conditioned, now, to a world without Ned, but how much would really change if he were granted his pardon? Well, the Fingers are here to explore. What might happen if Ned were sent to the Wall, or what if he were exchanged for Jaime, recently captured in the Whispering Wood (Also Scad’s porn name)?

We are going to be doin a couple more What-If episodes before moving on to yet another format change to be revealed soon. But for now, sit back and relax as we wander through another valley of possibility.

Selection Covered: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, there is no selection covered. I mean Matt and I spent a good amount of time reviewing A Game of Thrones in general to try to remember what happened when, but this episode spirals out from there quickly going throughout the story, so spoilers beware for everything.

Episode 100: What if the Viper Conquered the Mountain

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 11:23:06 -0700

In episode 100 (guys, we made it to 100!) we continue our series of “What if” content. The fingers of Davos tackle the question: What if Oberyn Martell had defeated Gregor Clegane during Tyrion’s trial by battle? How would court life look with a healthy Oberyn gumming up the works? Tyrion is free, but is he though? Does Tywin still die? The “grass” in Dorne is still hiding its “viper” in this timeline, what does that mean for the Dornish plot that we see in the later books?

We will be continuing on with another fun What-if episode in 3 weeks. So come ready to relax as we take a walk through a Westeros that has a little bit of a different feel!

We love George’s work. You love George’s work. Let’s build on that! Reach out and talk with us. You can find and like us on Facebook, or check out our tumblr at davosfingers.com. We love to banter on twitter @davosfingers or through email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com. Lastly, if you feel like supporting the cast, check out our Patreon through patreon.com/davosfingers.

Selection Covered: Everything. Though it mostly focuses on The Lannisters and Dorne, there are other implications in there as well! Nothing is off limits though, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, stay away. Just come with your general knowledge of ASOIAF and a willingness for fun.

Episode 099: What if the Stag Had Stumbled

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 06:56:45 -0700

The Davos’ Fingers podcast is trying something a little new starting with Episode 99. The next several episodes will focus on “What if” questions. Matt and Scad will then spend the episode untangling how George’s world would have been different if crucial moments had gone just a little bit differently. So, get your headphones on and listen in as we ponder what would have happened if Rhaegar had defeated Robert Baratheon on the trident. Would dragons have entered the world? What would the Stark children’s lives look like? Does Rhaegar make sure the three heads of the dragon are fulfilled with his two sons? And maybe most importantly….who does Cersei marry? Its a zany episode and we hope you enjoy!

Make sure you check back in 3 weeks for our next What If episode. It will be a doozy!

Episode 098: The Desire to be Free

Mon, 11 May 2020 04:29:46 -0700

In episode 98 the Fingers of Davos explore the most impressive of the free cities: Pentos, Braavos and Volantis. These are perhaps the most different cities from each other as you can get. Braavos, the poster-child of anti-slavery starkly cast against Volantis powered by slaves at a ratio of 5-to-1, with Pentos in between, pretending not to be pro-slavery but embracing everything it entails. One that denies its Valyrian roots, one that holds itself as the Valyrian standard, and one that embraces its roots, but also fine with mixing with other cultures. Such a fun set of differences to cover. We also spend some time in Valyria itself, talking about its current state, and whether it is as dangerous as it seems.

In three weeks we are moving to a bit of a format change, so get psyched for Davos’ Fingers madness. Nothing to read on your end, nothing to prep. We are getting back to ASOIAF proper, with a series of episodes called “What If”. Specifically in this case: What if Rhaegar had defeated Robert on the Trident? So get ready for some zany analysis about what would have gone differently had Robert not caved in Rhaegar’s chest.

We love to hear from fans that worship at the altar of George. So find and like us on Facebook, or check out our tumblr at davosfingers.com. We can also be found on twitter @davosfingers or through email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com. Lastly, if you feel like supporting the cast, check out our Patreon through patreon.com/davosfingers.

Selection Covered: most of the content from this episode comes from The World of Ice and Fire. We are covering everything from Pentos on page 266 through the section on Braavos, ending on page 276. But there is some additonal coverage on Valyria that comes from TWOIAF and other general knowledge from the series at large. Spoilers beware.

Episode 097: Free Cities aren't free (they cost a buck 'o five)

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 07:47:13 -0700

In this episode, the Fingers start exploring the Free Cities. We wander the mazes of Lorath, try to avoid the lumber-rich mysterious forest of Qohor, and ascend the Sinner’s Steps in Norvos. But this episode isn’t complete without a tour of the Quarrelsome Daughters. Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh are near mirror images of each other, but can’t get along, we talk about that too.

Catch us in three weeks as we finish off our coverage of the Free Cities, including a quick look at the queen jewel herself, Valyria. After that, we are gonna mix it up a bit with a return to ASoIaF, but not, perhaps, in the way you are used to. Stay tuned.

Please, please, please, drop us an email or a tweet or a facebook comment. We love to hear from people that love A Song of Ice and Fire. We can be found all over the net of inter @davosfingers on twitter, wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on our tumblr at davosfingers.com, or on Facebook just search for Davos’ Fingers. Finally, if you want to check out our Patreon, you can do so at patreon.com/davosfingers.

Selection Covered: The World of Ice and Fire pages 252 through 265. But as has been the case for some time, we will wonder all over the canon in this episode, so watch out!

Episode 096: Beware: Butterflies!

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 12:29:13 -0700

We traverse the southern portions of the map in Episode 96. From The Summer Isles to Sothoryos and everything in between with deadly butterflies, wyverns, and pirate towns galore. We also head north to mainland Essos, to look at the Dothraki Sea and its current and prior residents. Lastly. Ahem. Dragonbone.

Our dutiful coverage of The World of Ice and Fire continues as we plunge into our second episode on that material. And we are gonna keep going. We are tackling the Free Cities for the next couple episodes, starting with Lorath. So read up!

Episode 095: Asshai Where the Shadows Lie

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 06:55:06 -0700

The Fingers of Davos gain a third tonight as Chloe of Girls Gone Canon joins the cast to talk The World of Ice and Fire. Our first episode covering this tome, and it is a doozy. From the Shivering Seas frozen in legend to the mystical walkers of the Ifeqevron, the Fingers (and Chloe) dive into some of the lesser known parts of Essos. Then they cross the Bone Mountains and explore the empire of Yi-Ti and east to Asshai by the Shadow. Not much is known of these strange lands by the Maesters of the Citadel, but speculation from the Fingers is not in short supply.

We have started our coverage of The World of Ice and Fire. As is our wont, we are doing it a little differently. We were very excited to jump ALL the way East, so we started at the end and will work our way back for a bit. We will be working our way back for the next episode including coverage of the Dothraki! So check back in 3 weeks!

If you would like to reach out and touch us, please do! We are always eager to hear from George’s fans. We can be found all over the place. @davosfingers on Twitter is our most frequent haunt. But we can be found on Facebook, at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on our website at www.davosfingers.com. If you want to suppor the Fingers on Patreon check out patreon.com/davosfingers!

Selection Covered: Everything in this episode (outside of speculation) can be found within The World of Ice and Fire from The Shivering Sea (page 294) through the end of the Asshai-By-The-Shadow section (page 309) and also the end of the book.

Episode 094: Targaryen Family Values

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 06:54:05 -0700

In Episode 94 we get into some good old-fashioned family values...well, Targaryen Family Values. They are a little different. Highlights Include: drunken midnight rides through the city, kissing clubs, uncles that are younger than their nephews, ostracization, forced marriage. Also in this episode is more deaths, especially in the birthing bed, but more births also...uh...from the birthing bed. And as it does for us all, death comes for Alysanne and Jaehaerys. We also answer some questions from Bloodriders and play a fun Targaryen Name Game. Enjoy!

Episode 94 also brings our coverage of Fire and Blood to an end. We will be moving on to cover hand-picked sections of The World of Ice and Fire, starting with the section titled The Bones and Beyond. So check back here in 3 weeks for the start of another fun adventure!

Send us some mail! We love to hear from George’s fans about all things ASOIAF and beyond.

Episode 093: Good Queen Alysanne

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 07:59:19 -0700

The boys forge ahead through Fire and Blood in Episode 093: Good Queen Alysanne. In this episode Jaehaerys and Alysanne face tragedy as the Shivers bear down on Westeros. They also make a progress up north where the winter’s cold and Alaric’s hospitality is the same. Also, Alysanne flexes on her husband to end a sacred right to the Lords of Westeros, while Jaehaerys uses some windfalls of capital to improve infrastructure for his Kingdom.

In this episode we wanted to mention that we had a few audio issues in our recording. In truth Matt was a hero in salvaging some spots. We regret this departure from our normal level of quality and thank the Khalasar for their understanding.

This is our second to last episode of Fire and Blood as our bizarre journey through that tome winds to an end. After we polish that off, we will be jumping straight into some more ASOIAF, hand-picking sections from The World of Ice and Fire. As is our custom, we aren’t going to make it easy, actually starting with the section called “The Bones and Beyond”, which covers lands to the East, like Asshai. We will be hand selecting other selections as we go.

If you want to send us some ravenmail, we can be found in lots of places on the scary web. wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, you can find us and like us on Facebook, or check out davosfingers.com for our Tumblr site.

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 07:18:36 -0700

The Stranger has come in the year of 54 AC and the Fingers explore one of the biggest mysteries of Fire and Blood in Episode 092: the death of Aerea. We also lose another Queen, a High Septon, nearly a whole Queen’s court including her consort, oh and a Westhill...a what? Also, laws are written, progresses taken, High Septons appointed, and peace largely maintained during the years of Jaehaerys' early rule.

We only have 3 more episodes before capping off our coverage of Fire and Blood. What SHALL we do next, who knows!

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 09:49:12 -0700

In Doctrine of Exceptionalism, Matt and Scad finally see Jaehaerys mount the throne (among other things) as he reaches the age of majority, and changes, they are a’comin. Also in this episode, Rogar commits treason (or does he), Rhaena causes trouble (on both coasts), we get some new arrivals to the Targaryen family tree, and the crown continues its constant negotiation with the Faith regarding incestuous marriage.

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 07:44:05 -0700

In episode 90, the Fingers finally reach into the rule of Jaehaerys and Alysanne Targaryen, covering their early years, from arrival at KL with the help of Rogar Baratheon through their idyllic days on Dragonstone and everything in between. Listen in as Jaehaerys picks reconciliation over blood, Alyssa and Rogar get second chance at happiness, five Kingsguard earn their cloaks, and Alysanne picks a husband.

You may have noticed that we skipped over covering the Sons of the Dragon chapter. That's because we covered way back in Episode 081. So go check that out first if you want a refresher on the rules of Aenys and Maegor Targaryen.

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 06:08:42 -0700

Episode 89 of Davos' Fingers takes us back to the Towering Targaryen Threesome...er...siblings. We follow Aegon, Visenya, and Rhaenys from puzzling decision to rule Westeros through the Dragon’s wars and into the peace and prosperity of one unified kingdom of Westeros.

We already covered the next chapter of Fire and Blood, way back in Episode 081, so you MIGHT need to go back and listen to a refresher before our next episode hits. For the next several episodes we will cover the rise of Jaehaerys and his rule with Alysanne! So get excite!

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 05:51:01 -0700

We are fresh off our break and we have a doozy for you as Davos’ Fingers brings you the end of Fire and Blood! In this episode Westeros hobbles along under an ineffective, disinterested, and youthful King, a Lysene family that is hungry for power (or are they), a coup attempt engineered by some bitter also-rans, and the rule of a Merman until the King comes of age.

While this may be the end of Fire and Blood the book, it is NOT the end of Fire and Blood the coverage by this podcast. Because we dodged, ducked, dipped, dived, and...dodged our way through the first time, we have to go pick up the pieces. So stay with us as we pick up in the next episode with the OPENING chapters of Fire and Blood!

Episode 087: A New Hand; A New Fist

Mon, 01 Jul 2019 08:29:11 -0700

In Episode 87 of the Davos’ Fingers Podcast, Matt and Scad discuss the rule of the new Hand Unwin Peake, the relative lack of involvement of poor Aegon III’s regents, the swift rise of Alyn Velaryon and his journeys, and the discovery of a long lost (er...short lost?) Targaryen relative. The realm limps along, trying to find its footing still in the wake of the Dance of Dragons.

We will be taking a little bit of a hiatus from our normal episodes for a summer break. But expect us back in September for a return to Fire and Blood!

Episode 086: Of Wolves and Hoods

Mon, 10 Jun 2019 04:56:25 -0700

In Episode 086, Matt and Scad cover the early days of Aegon III’s rule under regency. But Cregan Stark has marched a LOOOONG way, and he isn’t about to let this go smoothly, effectively seizing control of the city to investigate the murder of Aegon II and to make sure the war is ended for good and all. Once the wolf is appeased, Tyland Lannister settles in as Hand, overpowers the regency, and starts to rebuild the kingdom, dealing with money issues, succession issues, and a new King that seemingly wants nothing to do with it.

Episode 085: The Dance - Dragons Die

Mon, 20 May 2019 07:13:52 -0700

In Episode 85, Matt and Scad watch the dragons dance and we watch the dragons die. King's Landing rises up in a riot, driving Rhaenyra out, her support network in shambles as she searches for some way to regain control of Westeros. Meanwhile the Greens have their own problems with a major military setback at Tumbleton. The general disarray and discord that follows keeps the army from even reaching King’s Landing. Aegon retakes King’s Landing only to bungle it away himself. Dragons figurative and literal die in large numbers in this episode, so hang on tight!

The Dance may have ended, but the podcast remains. So reach out and talk to us about all things ASOIAF.

Mon, 29 Apr 2019 07:14:29 -0700

In Episode 84, we discuss the middle section of the Dance of Dragons wherein Rhaenyra goes on the offensive, Aemond lays waste to some empty fields and castles, and butchery and betrayal run rampant. The various factions rise up against themselves, with leadership falling apart on the Green's side, and King’s Landing in near open rebellion against sitting Queen Rhaenyra.

So, we are focusing on pages 449 through 506 of Fire and Blood. This will serve as basically the middle third of the entire conflict. Beware, though, all material in the ASOIAF universe is covered, so there may be spoilers for future “Dance” events and other ASOIAF works!

Mon, 08 Apr 2019 06:24:13 -0700

The Cast of the missing Fingers of Davos tackles the beginning stages of The Dance of Dragons in Episode 083: The Dance - First Blood. The Greens and the Blacks wage an epic war of backroom negotiations and letter writing, backstabbing, plotting, dragon fights, and legitimate military encounters to try and keep their place in the Targaryen ruling dynasty. From the forming of each council and the opening blood spilt to the fall of numerous dragons and the entrance of many interested parties, this episode covers a LOT of ground. Enjoy Khalasar!

The Davos’ Fingers podcast finishes off the Sworn Sword in Episode 78 this week as Dunk parlays with Rohanne Webber, who confounds him in many ways and reveals an ugly truth about the man he represents. Upon confronting Ser Eustace about his questionable loyalties, Dunk and Egg are determined to leave his service on the morrow. But Dunk, ever loyal, just can’t betray this man in his need, and goes to Coldmoat with him to deal with the Red Widow. Another parlay and another failure means a trial by battle as Dunk fights for his lord’s stream, his pride, his smallfolk, and his future, not to mention Dunk’s own life.

“Who’s that Dragon” is replaced with “Who’s that Lion” this week as we focus on the Red Widow herself, Rohanne Webber. Then of course we finish up strong with Davos After Dark.

Davos After Dark is still a thing, though you will hear us prattle on and on about what actually is a spoiler in this context.

The Davos’ Fingers podcast has come to the conclusion of our Feast/Dance re-read in Episode 074: The Blood Before the Pain. Tears of joy and tears of sorrow. But we soldier on!

We’d like to thank Game of Owns for their reading order, which we enjoyed thoroughly. Though we have finished it, you can always find it on afeastwithdragons.com.

Episode 062: Blind Gods

Mon, 11 Sep 2017 06:20:52 -0700

Episode 62 has a heavy slant toward the Ironborn and Slaver’s Bay. First we meet the company of the Windblown, a company of sellswords hired to fight with Yunkai that also has our favorite little Dornish Prince. Next we get to crawl into the skins of perhaps the two most opposite Ironborn around, Victarion and Asha as they fight battles with very different outcomes. Tyrion is in Volantis, captured by Jorah Mormont, but given a ray of hope, and lastly Daenerys Targaryen comes to terms with a decision she has REALLY been wanting to avoid and she's doing it all for the betterment of the Meereenese.

Films Get Fingered – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

In the midst of our end of season break, the Fingers missed each other. What better way to cure our aches then to discuss Rogue One together, and release our musings to you guys just for funsies! We had a blast doing it and brought as much fun as we three Fingers can bring. We hope you enjoy!

Davos' Fingers Learn to Write: It Is Wolves I Mean To Hunt - The Motivations of the Red Wedding Conspirators

Thu, 01 Dec 2016 09:26:36 -0700

The Red Wedding ripped our hearts out, played tennis with them, ground them up into mush, then fed them to rabid animals. And that was just after the first time we read it. After the pain dulls to a low throb and we get our bearings back, we start to wonder how all the moving pieces of the Red Wedding conspiracy fit together; who planned what? Who talked to whom first? Why did so-and-so agree to it? From Tywin Lannister to Roose Bolton to Sybelle Spicer to Walder Effin' Frey himself, the web of conspiracy is twisted and complicated. It was these questions and more that Matt set out to answer a few months back in the first ever written Davos' Fingers essay, "It Is Wolves I Mean To Hunt: The Motivations of the Red Wedding Conspirators". Now, due to popular demand, we present this audio narration of Matt's essay. Oh, and did we mention that this recording includes the voice talents of all three Fingers? You won't want to miss Scad as Roose Bolton or Brooke as Fat Walda!

Episode 050: Smearing ASoS all over the place

Mon, 17 Oct 2016 08:00:57 -0700

It's time for a wrap up episode! Episode 50 of Davos Fingers brings you our final thoughts on A Storm of Swords.
As usual, our wrap up episode features some Trivia. Can you beat us at our own game. Listen in, see if you know more than the Fingers, then let us know through whatever social media bragging post is your favorite! Three Fingers enter, one Finger leaves...eww....
Another segment interspersed throughout the episode is a series of Top 5 lists provided by our listeners. Everything from favorite sigil, to favorite sidekick, to favorite ASOIAF meals (and more!) is covered. You have a better Top 5? Let us know!
And in an attempt at a completely new segment, the Fingers are (more or less) proud to present the Red Wedding Reacharound! Listen as we walk through the Red Wedding interspersing thoughts, feelings, quotes, and even drunken songs from three Westerosi characters that we just don't get enough of in the series.
Warning! Spoilers lurk here. We didn't constrain ourselves on the top 5 lists or in speculation during various points of this recording. If you want to stay at our pace, stay away from this wrap up episode.
Lastly, the Fingers will be taking a break after this recording. Due to the timing of this book finishing and where Holidays fall and whatnot, another episode for Davos' Fingers won't drop until January 16th! This might be the perfect time to embark on that re-listening project you've been considering. HAR HAR.
Chapters Covered: All or none. Everything is in bounds here.

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:42:44 -0700

It's here, true believers! The final episode for A Clash of Kings, brought to you by everyone's favorite Fingers (besides their own).

Join us as we start with a trivia challenge. Scad, Brooke, and Matt have been hard at work studying at the Maester's Citadel, and it all comes down to tonight. Who will take home the crown for ACOK? Or will one of you, our listeners come out on top? Make sure to drop us a line and tell us how you did! But NO cheating or Scad will get Scadtankerous.

The second half of the episode was driven by questions from the Khalasar. Questions came via ravenmail from all over the world, and we took our stab at answering them. We tackle dozens of questions, from the very personal "What is your favorite TV show?", to the very theoretical, "What is the weirdest theory you've read?" and everything in between.

This episode is FULL of spoilers for all the books, even TWOIAF and a little Dunk and Egg. So beware. Ye be warned. Other than that, come on in and have a great time!

Lastly, our next episode will pop up on November 23rd, when we'll jump into a boiling pot full of ASOS that we are all looking forward to. But in the meantime, be sure to look out for Matt's first ever musical release. Coming in October!

List of Chapters covered: All or None. This is meant to focus on ACOK, the whole meaty thing, but we diverge everywhere.
