Ragman’s Harbour

We're back with another episode discussing gender, gender nonconformity, gender norms and more! In this episode we manage to compare another medieval saint to Brienne of Tarth, discuss masculinity norms in relation to clothing in ASOIAF compared to the real world, and talk a fair bit about gender norms in different cultures (both within ASOIAF and without).   You can also join us on Patreon  and s...

We joined our friends at the Garde de Nuit (French Night's Watch association), as well as Javi Marcos from Los Siete Reinos (Spain) to talk about the best thing we've seen and experienced in forever: the Mad King play at Stratford-upon-Avon. This was originally a livestream, so apologies for the unedited discussion -but we give you all you may dream to hear if you're interested in theatrics, props...

Yes, it is late. But I was busy Englanding and MadKingling, and then being sleep deprived and having to work and stuff. Rude. Sigh But! Criston Cole may be dead, he is more alive than ever in my and Gwayne Hightower's heart. They were, after all, very good friends <3 I'll have seen the season finale in a bit, I'm sure I'll have a lot of comments. As ever, let us know what you think 🖤

I'm sad. But certainly not defeated: the show gave my Sweet Knight the best death scene possible, the cinematography was incredible, the dialogues excellent, the acting superb... There will be more episodes to cover the rest of the season, of course: Criston Cole is dead but not forgotten ❤️‍🔥

We're back with another Harbour reader episode, this time discussing the Stark kids and what we think their future might bring! Will Jon be King in the North? Will Sansa be Queen in the North? Will Arya ride off into the sunset? Will Rickon die due to lack of zig-zagging? And will Bran create the Westerosi EU? If you want to learn more about what Lo was talking about regarding sexuality education...

Baby boy is doing guerrilla warfare! and his identity crisis is solved: he's going to be himself, Criston of House Cole, and no one's servant! Yay to a good and efficient art therapy!

Baby boy decides to go full Dornish guerrilla style -and I'm here for it! 🥰

Did you really think I wouldn't find something to say? Feast/ Dance have taught me one thing: there is always something to say <3

Are you really surprised if I tell you this one is about the patriarchy? And Alicent's sex life? And Criston Cole being skilled?

Surprise! Here is an episode about the first episode of HotD season 3. We're not covering this season episode by episode (like we did with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), except for Virginie's Sweet Knight Report. But we figured we'd do an episode about episode 1, and what we're looking forward this season. We will definitely do a wrap-up episode after the season is done though! And later this su...

Yes, you knew something was coming. You may not have been able to foresee this would be it, but eh, even we had not seen it coming until very recently. We sure hope you enjoy it! It's coming back every week this House of the Dragon season <3

We're back with another Harbour reader episodes, this time talking about the trope of hidden identities in ASOIAF! Our main focus is on Sansa and Arya, and how their "hidden" identities work. From tropes about evil stepmums to the fluidity of gender! If you haven't listened to Radio Westeros episode about hidden ideantites , we really recommend it! Tell your friends about us and leave us a flurry...

In this episode we take a trip through our world and the world of ASOIAF to discuss feasts, holidays, festivals and more! We discuss how the celebrations of maidens in France is more fun than the Maiden's day in Westeros, how harvest feasts are similar in many cultures (and worlds), and how Lo's ancestors have quite a few things in common with Old Gods worshippers...    Join us on this celebration...

Welcome to this bonus episode! As mentioned in the episode, life has conspired against us managing to find time to record, so in the meanwhile here is a shorter episode with just Lo. This is also a preview of sorts of the episode we have coming up, where we will discuss what holidays exist (and should exist) in ASOIAF. In this episode Lo discusses Valborg/Walpurgis night, and end up discussing May...

In this episode we wrap up our coverage of season one of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and discuss what we thought about the season as a whole. We're also joined by Lo's friend Vendela, who hasn't read the books, to get her perspective on the show! So if you've ever wondered what a show-only-fan might think of Dunk & Egg, tune in!   We also return to our himbo-ranking (by popular demand) and...

What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! And now we say good bye to our boys for some time, as they go away on adventures we won't join in until season 2 :( We liked this episode, although we of course have a couple complains but over all, that's really minor. We got some feel good moments, some haha moments, some teary-eyed moments, some easter eggs, some social justice, some teenage...

What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! The trial of Seven that was promised... Let's say one thing: it happened. I also want to give another tribute here to the best (and most upsetting) Books! Daario Naharis homage we'll ever get: Humphrey Beesbury deserved better ! Also, Daeron knew what was up (poor bb, give this sexy man a ticket to rehab) You can become one of the cool kittens...

What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! As I type this, I realise it may be worth it to point out that this episode titled « Seven » is very much not a remake of the movie with Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. Just a head's up. So, here we are: Baelor nudges Dunk towards a trial by combat, but little jackass Aerion outsmarts him and requires a trial by seven. So now, Dunk has to assemb...

What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! We loved this episode, and of course, Virginie loves pointing out flaws as per her usual Parisianness, but fortunately Lo is here to counteract with music (you'll hear a clip of the murderer's song at the end of the episode, and can check out the whole thing out here ) As per always we give you our best and if a few times it feels like Virginie...

What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! We get to say "himbo" one thousand times and if Egg knew the word, he probably would, too. Let us see why, and also talk about classism, characterisation of new people, things we didn't need to see, foul language and so on and so forth of all the good stuff (and some of the not as great, too) You can become one of the cool kittens on Patreon an...

We are making what was during the release of the season Patreon supporters bonus episodes public, and we hope you like it. An episode per day -it's faster than one per week, but there's still suspense! unless you want to binge it all at the end -up to you dear listener!  Should you want to be one of the cool kids, join us on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction...

In preperation for the new tv-show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, we present you a very scientific examination of himbos in ASOIAF. Spoiler alert: our boy Dunk (thicc as a castle wall) ranks highly.   Join us as we discuss what exactly constitutes a himbo, and talk about characters ranging from Qarl the Maid to Grenn and Gendry. As well as some who are absolutely not himbos, even if they fit som...

In this episode we take you on a journey to meet very real people (à la Brandon Starks if he were a king or a hunter) who are saints and actual people who are saints (with or without boobies and visions) with a bonus festive saint and singing (no fire was started in the making of this episode). We manage to parallel Septon Meribald and Gregor Clegan (and bonus Oedipus!) to the same saint, and also...

In this episode we talk about gender nonconforming people throughout history, and ASOIAF. We cover everyone from Joan of Arc, genderqueer Viking era people, possible trans saints, and a Polish gender criminal (of sorts). And we compare them to characters like Brienne of Tarth, Morna White Mask, Alleras the Sphinx, Arya Stark, Brave Danny Flint, and more. Join us as we discuss how the gender binary...

In this episode, your hosts take you once more to the delightful (or not) realm of political deaths. Some of them just stop being alive, some are murdered, some experience chop chop, but all men must die -kings, princes who are also kings, men who used to be kings, people who got rid of kings, people who didn't want to get rid of kings, people who are not monarchs too. Also, Virginie needs to come...
