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. ย 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.

  2. Jill

    Doing the dance of joy!

    Nice a shout out to the man of ass thanks APOIAF

  4. Surya

    Nice timing, made the all-nighter I just pulled significantly less painful. Though I’ll have to play it through while I am not designing circuits. But it sounded great from what I paid attention to, you guys are like GRRM: consistently awesome but frustratingly infrequent.

  5. Chase

    The difference being that we feel some remorse for our infrequency. ๐Ÿ˜

  6. Chase

    Oh whoops, I’ll fix that and add it to the download page.

  7. Mega Shark

    Best episode yet i think.

    I wouldn’t wait too eagerly for the Sworn Sword, as we are on a hiatus right now. But perhaps that means we’ll have a guest host to help drive that episode.

    I have not read the Dunk & Egg books but your podcast ispired me to read them. I really enjoy your banter and chemistry. Please podcast again sometime..

    I have downloaded/searched hundreds of podcasts. Out of all of them I have only found around ten of them worth listening to… and this one is on the list. It was a sad day when I finally caught up with you’re latest episode, and I will always be looking forward to the next one.

  13. Brianna

    Thanks for the new episode. It was great as always

    Just general curiosity, How do you all know that Egg is Robert, Renly, & Stannis’s Great-Grandfather? I don’t remember reading anything about Steffon’s mother of lineage. Was a really cool fact! I love all the background on characters & lineages.

  15. John

    Chip, it was in either AGoT or ACoK that Rhaelle Targaryen (Egg’s only daughter) is revealed to be Steffon’s father (evidently Rhaelle married an unnamed Baratheon Lord).

  16. John

    Things seem quiet on the APOIAF front. Too quiet. ๐Ÿ™

    How about that Sworn Sword episode then? It would be good timing if you could record that in the next month or so, because the third instalment in the Dunk & Egg saga (The Mystery Knight) is due out in mid-march.

  17. Chase

    I’d like to, guy.

  18. John

    Well, that’s a good start. Now you just need to get Mimi and the rest motivated…

    BTW, I actually just found out that the release date for Warriors (which contains The Mystery Knight) is to be released on March 2, not mid-March as I previously mentioned.

  19. mimi

    i am so motivated! my computer collapsed in december and i still haven’t gotten it back from the repair facility yet. angry letters have been written. >:(

  20. Jill

    Sorry to hear about your computer, Mimi…Very aggravating!

  21. koinosuke

    Holy crap it’s been a long time since the last episode >_> Really hope you guys aren’t dead. I miss my sporadic doses of aSoIaF-related hilariousness.

  22. Chase

    We’re not dead, yet.

  23. John

    Yeah, hope Mimi’s computer is fixed and we can get that Sworn Sword episode soon :).

  24. mimi

    we’re recording the episode tomorrow! hopefully i can get it edited and put up by the end of the weekend.

  25. John

    Nice one Mimi ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. This is bitchin news

  27. Come on mimi get that thing edited please! You are such a little podcast tease. You tell me that its gonna be out by the end of the weekend but then the weekend comes and goes and now its almost the next weekend ๐Ÿ™ sad face lady sad face! I was all excited hell I was so excited I was masturbating furiously so come on don’t tease the taco anymore!

  28. John

    Hmmm…either Taco’s post has completely put you guys off or something went wrong with the Sworn Sword episode *shrugs*

  29. mimi

    it’s just a bitch and a half to edit, sorry! i got a grrm complex when it comes to editing. i am really trying to get it done in between my life this weekend though.

  30. Thatย’s raelly shrewd! Good to see the logic set out so well.
