Unspoiled! A Song Of Ice And Fire

Bran's still in Winterfell, though he may be the only person who still is by the time this book is over. Robb is marching north with his army of bannermen, Rikkon has gone feral, and Hodor is just wandering around nude like it's no ones business. Can we hold it together? Not so much! Thanks for listening to UNSPOILED!

It's in your heeeeaaaaad, in your heeaaaaaad JoooOOOON SnoooOOOOoooW. Hey guys, your podcast hosts are back from the bar, and Zombies are coming down from the north. WE ARE EXCITED. We decide our own zombie plan, predict---something? Finally some heartless corpses that aren't Lannisters!

For a book that's all about family ties, you can't get much more different than Sansa and Arya. Sansa doesn't kill any stableboys, doesn't jump out any windows, and doesn't even seem to realize what's happening. She writes some letters though? Good times on this episode of UNSPOILED!

Arya's on the run! Who can save her? Syrio? Sansa? The mysterious guy who lives in the stable? Nope, only Arya can save Arya, and she does a pretty good job of it too. We join the youngest Stark for some serious action on this episode of UNSPOILED!

Ned brings a piece of paper to a sword fight, in what may be the most lopsided battle so far. Stakes are raised perilously high, and we realize what it really means to play the Game of Thrones

Back up to the wall! Graduation days finally here, and Jon's ready to take his vows! Fortunately, Ghost breaks up all this happiness with his discovery of a severed hand. We make some pretty outrageous predicionts, pitch a new restaurant idea, and in get really silly overall. We also lay out our plans for the end of Game of Thrones, the new TV premier, and ask you to ask us some stuff. Let's all g...

It's Eddard again! The king isn't dead, but it's pretty darn close. Is it the end of Robert Baratheon? More importantly, what does this mean for Ned Stark? He knows he's going to do the honorable thing, but what that is isn't exactly clear. There's intrigue aplenty, as Ned has to go to the slipperiest snake on the block, Littlefinger, for help. Predictions are all over the place, and we introduce...

YAAAAY! HORSE HEART PARTY! HORSE HEART PARTY! Danaerys eats a horse heart (Average weight--8.5 pounds by the way) and her brother gets a shiny new crown in this festive chapter. It's high energy in the podcast studio/kitchen table, as we discuss horse hearts, human hearts, and heartfelt values, on this episode of UNSPOILED!

No more silliness! Everything gets serious as Eddard calls Cersei down to the Godswood to deliver a message-- take your kids, and get the hell out of town. The time for clues and hints is over, it's time to find out who's really playing this game of thrones for keeps! A lot of discussion of Eddards plan and Cersei's reaction takes place, and we ponder the question-- was this a mystery story? How c...

It's Sansa time again in King's landing. There's squabbles, there's heartbreak, there's song, and there's stories. There are also some really bizarre metaphores from Brendan, and some strong Sansa opinions from Natasha. Predictions fly fast and furious in this episode of UNSPOILED!

Kings Landing! Court procedings! Moonlight raids! False flag operations! FEMA! Someone's out hunting humans, and the king's out to lunch-- who's there to step up to the plate? Ned Stark, and UNSPOILED!

Tyrion's out of the Eirie, but is his new situation any better? Of course it is! He let's us in a little on a very traumatic moment in his past, and we see an interesting development in his plan to get home safely. There's a lot of brutal honesty all around, and some very tricky moral considerations for our hosts. What do all these developments mean? Clear the fog, on this episode of UNSPOILED!

It's graduation day at the wall, and everyone's remembering the great times they had together. Everyone except Samwell Tarly. We talk wall times, new plans, and I break out a monumental number of predicitions. There's also a movie invite for anyone who loves haunted planes! Curious? That's why I'm being so obtuse! Crack open this pod-egg, and feast upon the flavor that is UNSPOILED.

Trial by combat! Good thing nothing can go wrong with this---or, maybe it's a travesty that ends with a good man dying? Either way, it's an excuse to talk about mideval armor in comedy, and what Tyrion's going to get up to now that he's free and clear.

Right back in like we left something! It's Chapter 39, where Eddard wakes up with a hell of a poppy milk hangover. We get deep into dream analysis, and then talk about where to draw the line between hitting your wife and having her assasinated. There's plenty of Robert Baratehon talk, and questions over if Circe Lannister is "frustrating to deal with" or maybe a little more than that. Let's all de...

Hey All, sorry we missed intros and outros on this one, but check that audio quality! It's Tyrion at the Eirie, getting his sky cell on, until he talks his way into a trial by combat that's bound to end in travesty! Natasha empathizes with the little guy with a big mouth, while Brendan invents a ninja Lannister strike force to break Tyrion out of his prison. We have a good long discussion on food...

Bran times! We get scared it's going to be boring, but then it's exciting! So exciting! We Starks, Theon Greyjoy, podcast geekery, if women can use the internet, and wolf violence!

We go back to the Dothraki sea to check on our two favorite Targaryans, and find them doing the same old dance. Will these two crazy kids ever learn to get along? Will Viceryes ever stop being the dumbest sack of rocks ever commited to the page? These questions! Plus! A Contest! and the plans for Capcom vs Game of Thrones. It's another day, and another UNSPOILED!

Littlefinger brings Eddard straight to some clues, and then Jamie shows him what it means to mess with the Lannisters. We talk prostituion, retribution, and evolution, as this chapter brings up some big questions, while only offering a few small answers! Everybody retreat into your conspiracy theorist bomb shelter, because it's time for a near fatal dose of UNSPOILED!

What is with these mountians!? Catelyn seems to have lead us into the worst part of Westeros so far, the Vale! We continue our chapter by chapter dissection (it's a loving dissection) of George RR Martin's Game of Thrones. We're about halfway through the book, and things are heating up! In this chapter, there's some debate about the technique of writing deliberatly sloggy prose to wear out the rea...

Turn in your badge and gun Ned! You're a loose cannon! You're off the case, and if I catch you pursuing it, I'll have you behind a desk until retirement! That's how this chapter would read if it was a cop drama, and not game of thrones-- oh, and I was the author, and it was at my website. Join us, as we discuss Ned's next moves, make assaination predictions, and premier our pitch for "Dothraki Abb...

Try to catch cats, you end up catching two fat guys hatching a plot. That's the saying right? Something like that? It's Arya, she's slick as a shadow, but she's not ready for royalty, dragon skulls, and assassination plots all in one day. Brendan makes a breakthrough (maybe?) with the help of a 5th grade science education, and Natasha tries not to reveal any secrets!

What's been going on with Catelyn and Tyrion this whole time? Nothing that I predicted. The hills have eyes, and the hunters are now the hunted...or something? Everything goes all to hell, and Tyrion's got a quick wit, a joke, and a plan to turn this situation to his advantage. This is one of my favorites, and it's UNSPOILED!

Flower knights, ridey mountains, hounds, and kingslayers! It's the end of the tournement. It's time for chaos, investigations, and drinking beer with the king. What didn't happen this chapter? Kick your Monday off Unspoiled style!

It's time for a tournament-- forget your precious modern sports, people barely die doing those. Lets do this the Westeros way, everyone put on your fanciest armor and try to not quite kill each other! Sansa's carried away by the spectical, gets to go to the afterparty, and then even gets some private time with THE Sandor Clegane. Brendan finds a new favorite charecter, Natasha tries to decipher th...
