perdido

The VOK Book Club Crew gathers (actually gathered back in September 2015) to discuss China Mieville’s weird fiction masterpiece, “Perdido Street Station”.

Hosts Greg (claudiusthefool), Steven (SJLee), Brett (WhiteRaven), Alex (LuckyCharms), Amber (Amberrocks) & Zach (Alias) assemble to discuss the myriad inhabitants of New Crobuzon, it’s political structure, the true meaning of The Weaver’s ramblings, the effects of Dreamshit & just who the hell was Jack Half-A-Prayer.

Posted on November 15, 2016 | Leave a comment

c58_sansa_v_pwwp_png

The Flagship that is the ASOIAF re-read sails on into episode 29, like Davos into Blackwater Bay, and one can only hope that there isn’t any wildfire or Imp to use it.

Join hosts Patrick the Tall; MunroeJock/Jock; Nadia; Shadowbaby/Hannah; and (later) Nymeria/Marie as they discuss Sansa 5, Davos 3 and Tyrion 13 from A Clash of Kings.

The podcast is dark and full of spoilers for all published works in ASOIAF.

The aftershow begins at 2 hr 19 minutes.

The artwork is from the A Podcast Of Ice and Fire drawing project on Deviantart, and is Sansa 5. The music extracts are by Alpine Universe and is available to purchase on iTunes

For listeners playing along at home, the next episode will cover the end half of the Battle of the Blackwater Bay, hosted by Casey, and will cover Sansa 6, Tyrion 14 and Sansa 7.

VoK 332: Jon Snow is Harry Potter aka The Great Linear ASOIAF ReRead (Part 24)

Posted on September 24, 2016 | 1 comment

The epic linear re-read of A Song Of Ice and Fire ponders time as the vassals cover Theon 3, Jon 4, Jon 5 and Bran 6 – Theon’s oratory skills on the Stony Shore, arrival at the Fist of the First Men, Ghosts discovery of the cashe and Bran and Theon becomes bros.
