VoK 420: The Hobbit ReRead (Part 2)

Posted on September 21, 2017 by | Leave a comment


In honor of the 80th anniversary of “The Hobbit” the Vassals blaze their way through the second half of J.R.R Tolkien’s first visit to Middle Earth. The tale grew in the telling and was nearly extended to 3 episodes but we wisely managed to keep it at 2.

Hosts: Adam (drownedsnow), Matt (Varley), Nadia, and Paul (SerDinneRoll).

This was was actually recorded around the same time as part 1, which you can find below.
[Part 1]

Spoilers: This episode covers all published works of J.R.R. Tolkien as well as George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

VoK 413: Dropping the Payload aka The Great Linear ASOIAF ReRead (Part 50)

Posted on September 6, 2017 by | 1 comment

chapter_52___a_storm_of_swords_drawing_project_by_apoiaf-d6f8i0n

This is a very special episode of our Linear re-read of George R R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire as we reach a) the half way point in out planned episodes and b) the narrative development that for many readers is the most scarring and significant plot twist of the series to date – The Red Wedding.

Accordingly, in this episode we’ve invited some of the VOK Curators – the people responsible for the admin and direction of VOK – to come together to discuss Arya 10, Cat 7 and Arya 11 from A Storm of Swords. They are Adam/DrownedSnow, Bina007, Katie/Lady Griffin, Michal/Inkasrain and Nadia.

This episode can be listened to in conjunction with the recent VOK 400 Full Castle Recording of The Red Wedding and post-FCR discussion by some of the curators who aren’t present on this episode.  It also follows the more broad ranging VoK 412 episode that explored all things Robb Stark – a key character who doesn’t have POV chapters and whose actions are often off-screen.

The podcast is dark and full of spoilers for all published works in George R R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire but not for HBO’s Game of Thrones.
