We also learn a little bit about Bast’s intentions, get a feel for the (dis)organization of the University Archives, and sink into the loudest and most disruptive silence you can imagine.

He has many apologies to give and amends to make there, but one consistent thorn in Kvothe’s side learns that sticks and stones may be bad, but Names actually can hurt something fierce.

It isn't what they think as they are forced to contend with a mythical creature of legend: A Dragon. Or is it. Not only that but the creature is on an addiction-riddled hunt for his next fix, and Kvothe and Denna feel like they must stop it. Inside, the Fingers also unravel the importance of honesty in storytelling, tell...

October 30, 2023 13:01 - 2 hours - 223 MBIn Episode 148, Matt and Scad go walking and talking with Kvothe and Denna as the pair connect for hours after Kvothe skips out on work. It's also a bit of a catchup episode. Kvothe has all sorts of opportunity in front of him now that he has obtained his talent pipes and completed his training in the artificery, but what will he prioritize, and can he focus on getting a little bit ahead in life, or will he get distracted by the things he doesn't have. Our coverage of the first book of The ...
Episode 147: Caught By A Smile

But it is no easy task, as it takes a flawless and moving performance from a skilled artist, with m...

August 28, 2023 13:01 - 2 hours - 287 MBThe Fingers find Kvothe at the end of his first term considerably richer than he was when he first arrived, with a true enemy in Ambrose, and a wild reputation that is MOSTLY true spreading like wildfire through the University. But as he approaches his second term and finds himself short of tuition money with no easy way to get more, he turns to scary options in order to stay a student, and even scarier options to bring music back into his life. There is also a woman waiting in the wings…or ...
Episode 145: Banned
July 31, 2023 13:01 - 2 hours - 280 MBWell the Fingers have certainly stumbled into a Tavern Tale, though Kvothe might disagree. This episode moves FAST. Kvothe gets to teach his first lesson at the University (you didn't misread that), gets punished and rewarded for it (you didn't misread that either), then gets his wounds tended to, but then opens a new wound himself by disobeying a serious rule of the University. If only he had figured out that 4-plated DOOR first!! So much happens to Kvothe so quickly, sometimes you just wan...
Episode 144: New Friends, New Enemies
June 26, 2023 12:46 - 2 hours - 241 MBIn Episode 144*, the Fingers follow Kvothe into Imre and further into the depths of the University.

Episode 142: Tarbean
May 01, 2023 14:00 - 2 hours - 284 MBThe Fingers travel with Kvothe to Tarbean to get some new lute strings, and you faithful listeners are coming with us. Kvothe's mind is a terrifying place these days, and he is coping via copious lute playing, becoming a master that can compose new works and play through broken strings. But when his third string breaks he finds himself on the move to a place where he can get replacements, for the idea of existing with lute playing is ludicrous. But the city he finds, Tarbean, is unwelcomi...
Episode 141: The Chandrian
April 03, 2023 13:01 - 2 hours - 275 MBKvothe has the Fingers’ stomachs in knots as he relays the story of his departure from his troupe, and he has our minds racing as we learn more and more about the history of this world and one of its major antagonists: The Chandrian.

February 06, 2023 14:01 - 2 hours - 154 MBIn our first episode covering The Kingkiller Chronicle, Davos’ Fingers is introduced to the mostly mild-mannered and seemingly regular Kote. Then, of course, he becomes totally IRREGULAR and starts talking about demons and trying to hide his obviously prolific history from people. Oh, yeah, then he befriends a stranger on the road…a Chronicler...before executing a bunch of spider monsters…so enjoy!. The Davos’ Fingers podcast has branched out to cover the first work within The Kingkille...

Stretched thin, they use all the resources at their disposal as best as they can, but at what cost? House of th...
Episode 135: The Green Council
October 21, 2022 12:00 - 2 hours - 194 MBIn episode 135 of the Davos' Fingers podcast, we unwrap the gift that is episode 9 of House of the Dragon: the Green Council. Viserys has passed and Alicent and the rest of the small council move swiftly to install Prince Aegon as the new King.

Pate has been up to no good to obtain a single Golden Dragon so that he can make Rosey "his" (blech, I just threw up a little in my mouth), committing a crime that has his future looking pretty murky. Bu...
