Episode 143:  Lanre Turned, Kvothe Returned

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! We have returned to a spoiler free format for The Name of the Wind, so you can listen to us without fear of spoiling your future reading if you are coming along at our own pace!  And as a result Devi After Dark is back for a segment that is filled with spoilers and looks at what is coming ahead!

Episode 136:  The Black Queen

Three veteran fans re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire and podcasting our adventure along the way. Each episode covers five chapters. Spoiler-free, relaxed, and irreverent! davosfingers.com

Matt and Scad do something that is really intriguing to me. They’re very relaxed as they work through chapters, having a nice chat with their best buddy about a story they share a passion for. In this way, the podcast is easy to listen to (even therapeutic). However, they also provide top notch analysis even in a very relaxed setting. Most importantly, both are fantastic fathers and kind people who have brought a tremendous amount of joy to The Fandom.

A Fantastic Podcast

Doing a re read and loving following along with these crazy funny weirdos

Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

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.

Episode 062:  Blind Gods

In Episode 70 Dany invites the enemy inside her walls (snort) as Hizdahr’s peace and Hizdahr’s piece are in need of some celebration.  But the celebration is short-lived as a winged guest interrupts the Fighting Pit festivities.

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! Currently on twitter all day and all night as part of #ASongOfMadness, you can find us @davosfingers.  Our email is wearedavosfingers@gmail.com.  Our website is www.davosfingers.com, and you can find us on Facebook.  Lastly, you can find our patreon at www.patreon.com/davosfingers.  We love to interact with George’s biggest fans, so reach out and uh...touch us...gross. Selection covered:  While we were originally trying to cover TPATQ, Fire and Blood just provided so much more depth for this critical event in the history of Westeros.  So, we are focusing on pages 391 to 449 of Fire and Blood, effectively the first third of this epic conflict.  So strap in and enjoy!  All material in the ASOIAF universe is covered though, so there may be spoilers for future dance events and other ASOIAF works!
