VoK 337: The Medieval Vagina aka The Great Linear ASOIAF ReRead (Part 28)

Posted on October 6, 2016 by bina007 | 3 comments

The juggernaut that is the ASOIAF re-read rolls on into episode 28, where we see the consequences of Dany laying waste to the House of the Undying and the build-up to the Battle of the Blackwater Bay. We’ve also had the Battle of the Red Fork happen off screen.

Join hosts Bina007; Blue Eyed Queen/Casey; Nadia; Scilens/Tanja; Shadowbaby/Hannah; and (briefly) Varley/Matt as they discuss Tyrion 11, Dany 5, Tyrion 12 and Sansa 4 from A Clash of Kings.

This brings us to the end of August 299 – a month in which we saw the fall of Winterfell, the fall of Storms End, the fall of Harrenhall, the Battle of the Red Fork, The House of the Undying, Jon’s 16th birthday and Robb shagging Jeyne Westerling offstage!

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

The aftershow begins at 1 hr 32 minutes.

The artwork is from the A Podcast Of Ice and Fire drawing project on Deviantart, and is Tyrion 12 drawn by Jesicka309. The music extracts are by Alpine Universe and Urge Overkill and are available to purchase on iTunes.

For listeners playing along at home, the next two episodes will cover the Battle of the Blackwater Bay. In the first, hosted by Ser Patrick the Tall, we will cover Sansa 5, Davos 3, and Tyrion 13. The second episode, hosted by Casey, will cover Sansa 6, Tyrion 14 and Sansa 7.
