Matt and Scad continue their coverage of The Kingkiller Chronicle, as Kote reluctantly contends with a guest who has figured out his identity, a guest that wants, nay demands, to tell Kvothe's story. After some fits and starts Kvothe dives in, and we learn about his early days with his family, his troupe. We also get details about Abenthy, Kvothe's first real teacher, who brings elements of magic, true magic and some a little less true, into Kvothe's world.   The Davos’ Fingers podcast has branched out to cover the first work within The Kingkiller Chronicle:  The Name of the Wind!  We hope you enjoy this choice and come along with us!   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!   If you'd like to reach out to us and let us know how we're doing, or give us some feedback, or just want to vent about that one coworker that really sucks, drop us some raven mail at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, @davosfingers on twitter, at davosfingers.com or you can find our page on Facebook.   Also available on Youtube:  https://youtu.be/NtcOCGwRIto   Selection covered: Chapter 5 through Chapter 11 of THE NAME OF THE WIND.

In our first episode covering The Kingkiller Chronicle, Davos’ Fingers is introduced to the mostly mild-mannered and seemingly regular Kote.  Then, of course, he becomes totally IRREGULAR and starts talking about demons and trying to hide his obviously prolific history from people.  Oh, yeah, then he befriends a stranger on the road…a Chronicler...before executing a bunch of spider monsters…so enjoy!.

Here it is!  After a rousing episode with Matt, we have followed up with the Scadisode.  So buckle in as Matt interviews Scad about his fandom positions and faves in a meet the Khalasar episode that reveals some of Scad's personal favorites and opinions in: Tyrion III of A Storm of Swords!  In this episode, Tywin gets a grip on the small council and guides it masterfully while Tyrion, Cersei and the reader are left to gape in wonder.

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. Matt is going to return the favor and put Scad under the microscope while we delve into a chapter of his choosing. So join us in three weeks time for that.

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.

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.

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.

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.  We will cover each and every scene in spoiler-free detail and also look forward toward what we think is coming in the upcoming episode in our segment called Dragons After Dark.  Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide, the Dragons After Dark segment will forecast what the wise Fingers believe is coming next.

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.
