The Silent Sisters Podcast

While LittleWolfBird lurks in the background, Blue Lemons holds down the fort as she, Lo the Lynx, and Akash discuss the Larys and Alicent foot scene from a sexual assault, disability, and shame persepective; Mysaria running for president in 2024, the return of the Shadow on the Wall, and her accent; and Alicent's pawn to player jouney via specific scenes including those with Rhaenys and Otto...

As our title suggests, we the Silent Sisters and their guest, artist Fox and Brambles, focus on four main parties: Rhaenys, the queen who never was, Alicent, the queen of Westeros, Viserys, the king of Westeros, and Daemon, the former and temporary king of the narrow sea. Beware, it is a heavy episode where we discuss losing loved ones in light of losing Viserys and we also examine Alicent's...

Well, we went from a family reunion for a funeral, to grand theft dragon (or not?), to a pint-size street fight where knife beats rock. Joining us to help us sort out this royal shitstorm is a good friend and fabulous fan fiction writer, Kitfics! This episode was largely about how many of the child characters are left alone to grieve the loss of a parent, some are only allowed to do so in silence....

As promised, we are back with a second helping of everyone's favorite fandom commentator, essayist, and dad expert, Patrick Sponaugle! Episode 6 was just so HUGE (Ryan Condal called it a second pilot) we had to break the discussion into 2 parts. This time we're back to finish off by focusing on the parents. The Dad Duo of Laenor and Harwin scored major points with the three of us. We tal...

In an extraordinary first, the recording time of our coverage of House of the Dragon Episode 6 "The Princess and the Queen" ran so long, the only thing we could do was bring you a two-parter! And why was it busting at the seams with content discussion? This week's special guest Pat Sponaugle, everyone's favorite fandom dad, essayist, and commentator, made it wayyyyyyyyyyy too e...

If last episode explored the themes of sex and pleasure, HotD S1E5 was all about love and marriage, with many proposals being made. Some dutiful, some taunting, and some... uh, romantic (???) but also really not. And since this is a patriarchy, these things can never be divorced (get it?) from gender and sexuality. Thankfully, we had our shining beacon of brilliance, Lo the Lynx, back with us to l...

Last podcast episode, the topic of disability portrayals was broached with Larys Strong and Craghas Drahar. So buckle up for this episode, dear listeners, and join us for a deep dive into how disability and caregiving are portrayed in media using HotD and ASOIAF characters with ethical and not-so-ethical examples. In her podcast debut, we proudly welcome The Immaculate Bastard, who brings her acad...

When there are 16 new minor characters introduced in one HotD episode, what are the Silent Sisters to do? We call the banners for our special guest and dear friend, Micah_of_Clark, to help us sort through them, that's what! Micah's got the fandom covered when it comes to his impressive knowledge of minor characters, and he's always down to talk anything ASOIAF. Join us as we discuss...

Your High Heretics are soaring today because they got to sit down and chat House of the Dragon, Season 1, Episode 2 "The Rogue Prince" with none other than fandom icon, Lo the Lynx! Lo is best known for lending their expertise concerning issues of gender, sexuality, race, class, and disability as it relates to ASOIAF -- and boy, this episode gave us much to chew on! The conversation was...

Twas the night before episode 2 and all through the RSS feeds not an episode stirred, well all except your Humble High Heretics. Coming in at almost 3 hours, Blue Lemons and LittleWolfBird discuss scene by scene House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 1 "The Heir of the Dragon". HBO packed a plump premiere with knights and dragons, plots and ambitions, and even a birth and bodycount. It onl...

In this last minute recording, household ASOIAF-fan artist Mallory aka Sanrixian and Zac and Hannah of Game of Owns fame join LittleWolfBird to talk about that D... dragons , we talked about dragons and the new dragon show coming to HBO this Sunday, August 21, 2022!

After two months, episode 3 is finally out! Between work picking up due to COVID restrictions slowly being lifted, receiving the first and second vaccine shots (and boy, were those a doozy), a youtube guest appearance on Here Be Dragons to discuss SAFE , and having so much to say about our favorite canon mom, somehow we finally go here. Join us to talk about Catelyn Tully as we follow her family,...

This time on TSSP, BlueLemons and LittleWolfBird get down to business and begin to tackle the traumatic past of Ned Stark. We say begin because well...we set out to examin the relation between Ned and Cat and had planned on just the one episode. But in the process of writing the script, the analysis of Ned and Cat ballooned out of control. "How out of control?" you ask? Listen to the epi...
