Episode 31: Better Than Farmville

Episode 31 for the week of March 7th (try not to laugh when you hear which week it was actually intended for), in which we round out our Dunk & Egg extravaganza with a recap of The Sworn Sword. Get your graphic novel version out so you can take maximum advantage of Chase’ incessant raving about Dunk’s package. The Podcast of Ice and Fire is back in action and ready to offend the ear some more.

Spoiler warning: Much like the previous episode, this is intended for listeners who have read the novella. Futhermore, there are a couple of vague references to the preview chapter of the unreleased follow-up, The Mystery Knight. You’ve been warned!

Episode 30: Sweet Dornish Honey

Episode 30 for the week of October 5th (but released eight years later!), in which we embark on the first of our two-part Dunk & Egg special. Here, we spend two hours poring over GRRM’s first Dunk & Egg novella, The Hedge Knight, discussing Chase’ resemblance to Daeron Targaryen, and various other things I forgot because this was recorded so long ago.

Spoiler warning: For those of you who have not read the Dunk & Egg stories, this episode (and the next) will obviously be full of spoilers and life-ruiners.

Episode 29: What If? Call In Show – Part 2

Episode 29 for the week of August 16th, in which (as a continuation of a previous episode) we discuss a variety of what if? scenarios, the casting of Sean Bean and Jennifer Ehle, and explain the reason, details and continuing status of our hiatus. Just our luck though, a couple days after recording, the rest of the casting choices were announced and we have no coverage of that.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the audio clip of Irish listener Rick asking his question, but it’s included at the end of episode 10, the first What If? episode: http://podcastoficeandfire.com/?p=18

Listeners Sam, Brianna and Julani join us for this episode. Thanks for coming, folks, we enjoyed having you!

Episode 28: Win A Sexy Corset

Episode 28 for the week of June 28th, in which we discuss chapter 55 of A Game of Thrones, debate whether Jorah Mormont is a rad ass dude or a rat ass dude, and examine Chase’s personal ambition to grow a beard in his nether regions. Also something about bloodriders. Our guest host this week was Lauren.

Keep an eye on the blog for more updates regarding future episode topics. And in the meantime, leave those sexy voicemails for APOIAF on Skype!

Episode 27: The Lost Levels

Episode 27 for the week of June 7th: from the recesses of time and space, the lost Books mini-episode has resurfaced! In this we talk about other books in the fantasy and sci fi genres that we’ve been reading or have read in the past. Recommendations and condemnations come hand in hand to this swank party, so there’s a little something for everyone.

P.S. When we get to romance novels, this is what we were laughing about.

Episode 26: Don’t Tell Mimi The Babysitter’s Dead

Episode 26 for the week of June 10th, in which we talk about Chapter 54 of Game of Thrones (focusing far too little on Hodor’s nude scene), the bannermen under House Stark, who Robb might have sent to lead his troops south in the war and probably a lot of other things that might have been cut.

There’s a surprise return of one of our original hosts, but you’ll just have to listen to find out who that is!

Episode 25: Wight Fight

Episode 25 for the week of May 24th, in which we examine chapter 53 of A Game of Thrones (focusing far too much on Lord Mormont’s nude scene), do not know how to pronounce Neil Gaiman’s name, and finally have an appropriate outlet for our video game geekfest.

Note: Despite anything we said to the contrary in this episode, listening to A Podcast of Ice and Fire while making love is a terrible, terrible idea and will most likely result in infertility and sadness all around.

Episode 24: Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver Q4 2009

Episode 24 for the week of May 10th, in which we attack chapters 49-52 of
A Game of Thrones, discuss Sansa’s merits (she has none), and compute the Syrio Forel = Jaqen H’Gar equation. Guest host Apocalypse Dan joins in to drop the knowledge on us.

Episode 23: Get Chilly

Episode 23 for the week of April 19th, in which Chris makes a triumphant return to the podcast to discuss Vin Diesel and forget more things about ASOIAF. This episode, we agonize over chapter 48 of A Game of Thrones, argue about Renly Baratheon, and find out how similar Chase is to Cersei.

Find out which ASOIAF character you are!
The long quiz and the short quiz.

Episode 22: Everyone’s A Targaryen

Episode 22 for the week of March 22nd, in which we embark on a new show structure, focusing on three main components: one chapter, one character, and one theory. This week, we kick off with chapter 46 of A Game of Thrones, discuss Doran Martell’s gout, and conclude that the “Varys is a Faceless Man” theory is entirely inconclusive.

We hope you like our new format- we changed it in light of some very good feedback in our email and comments. Let us know what you think, and drop us an email if you’d like to guest host for an episode.

Episode 21: The Lost Episode

Episode 21 (recorded ages ago) for the week of March 22nd, in which we visit the five-chapter-reread format for the last time for chapters 41-45 of A Game of Thrones. Originally, roughly half this episode was dedicated to trying to force Chase to recite the Pokérap (he declined), but we’ve pared it down for your listening pleasure. Our guest host this episode was Robb.

Note: On top of being lost and severely delayed, this episode also has some major technical issues after the hour mark. Somehow in random patterns, everyone’s individual audio seems to overlap, lag, and speed up oddly which results in several bursts of chaotic talking. We normally do interrupt each other a lot, but not to this extent. Sorry for the confusion!

Episode 20: A Shocking Lack of Knowledge

Episode 20 for the week of February 1st, in which we bring back more shit-talk and politically incorrect topics into your lives after an unplanned hiatus. This week, we cover chapters 36-40 of A Game of Thrones, respond to recent criticism, and coax Ashley 2 into complaining about the ASOIAF Calendar disaster. No cats were sexually harmed in the recording of this episode.

Episode 19: Everyone Likes Bunnies

Episode 19 for the week of December 21th, in which we released unedited yet again in order to bring the content to you faster. This month, we cover chapters 31-35 of A Game of Thrones, read the review of the leaked pilot script provided by Winter is Coming (interjecting opinions where we see fit), and hang up on Chris for being a douchebag.

Episode 18: L & D

Episode 18 for the week of November 16th, in which we capitalize on the positive feedback from the previous release and present yet another uncut, unedited episode. This time we cover chapters 26-30 of A Game of Thrones, discuss our opinions on the exciting news from HBO, and agree to make Chase a permanent addition to the team.

(Regrettably, this episode does not include discourse concerning lesbians and/or dongs.)

Addendum: photos we are giggling over throughout the episode, for reference (@ 7:18 and @ 32:21).

Episode 17: Raw and Uncut

Episode 17 for the week of November 2nd, in which we attempt our first ever totally unedited episode as we discuss chapters 21 – 25 of A Game of Thrones. Chase saves the day by guest hosting yet again, we miraculously stay on topic for the most part, and find out how Aaron plans to spend Election Night.

Sorry for the one-episode-a-month release delays, everyone! Due to a combination of recording mishaps, schedule conflicts, and our resident editor on a Harry Potter cruise, we have decided to resort to churning out unedited episodes to sate your APOIAF masochism. Let us know what you think.
