The Vassals continue their linear re-read of George R R Martin’s epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, which chapters covering the week of 7th August 299. In Davos, Stannis takes Storms End; in Cat 5, she arrives back at Riverrun to a foolish brother and feverish father; in Tyrion 10, he tries to get Shae into the castle; and in Theon 4, he fakes the deaths of Bran and Rickon.

The podcast is dark and full of spoilers for all published works in ASOIAF. The aftershow begins at 1 hr 50m and at 2 hr 7m, there’s a spoiler-filled discussion of The Night Of.

Your hosts are Bina007, DrownedSnow/Adam, Nadia; SerDinnerRoll/Small Paul; Shadowbaby/Hannah; SJLee/Steven and Varley/Matt. The artwork is from the A Podcast Of Ice and Fire drawing project, and is Davos 2 drawn by A Podcast of Ice and Fire host, Kyle. The music extract is by Alpine Universe and is available to purchase on iTunes.

For listeners playing along at home, the next episode will be hosted by Adam, and will cover events from the week of 15th August 299, and chapters Cat 6, Arya 9, Dany 3 and Dany 4 – The House of the Undying.
