Game Of Thrones With Shark Liver Oil

We continue our read through of A Clash of Kings, George RR Martin’s handy handbook to medieval anarchy. This week we’ve got angry mothers, incredible heroism and the only animal that can take down a direwolf. We’ve also got groundbreaking news: we’ve found the moral of A Song of Ice and Fire! As always, get in touch on sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, or on Twitter: @sharkliveroil, to let us know if we’re talking nonsense, or what you think of the characters and the book. And hold on to you butts because next week... its blackwater!

It's Part 7 of Shark Liver Oil's page by page guide to A Clash of Kings - George RR Martin's second book in his Song of Ice and Fire/ Game of Thrones series. This one's called a man without honour. Can you guess who that might refer to? Here's a clue - he's betrayed his second family, fallen out with his dad and recently pushed a septon down a well. Oh and yes, we're spelling "honour" like that. With a "u" in it. Because we're English and that's how we spell it. Any comments on the book or the cast - get them to sharkliveroilpodcast@gmai.com or @sharkliveroil on twitter.

Back for another slice of Shark Liver Oil action as we bring you our sixth part of our coverage of GRRM's second Ice and Fire book - A Clash of Kings. We talk about terribly polite assassins, we see the river lords finally get on the scoreboard and there's your chance to win a free, all expenses paid trip to the House of the Undying*. As ever, get your thoughts on the podcast or the book in to us at sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com or tweet us @sharkliveroil *There is no such competition

Woooooo! Woooooooooo! Wooooooooooooooo!!!! Listener Beware! It's the Ghost Of Harrenhal! Don't go around telling horrible stories about innkeepers daughters or threatening to set your dog on people - or you might end up having an UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.. And speaking of unfortunate accidents - what's up with Renley? Shark Liver Oil enters part 5 of its coverage of A Clash Of Kings. There are some big shocks... so BEWARE!

We continue our gallop through George RR Martin's A Clash of Kings, and we're up to part 4, in which there is a Garden of Bones. Also starring: Theon's regrettable libido, a medieval fratboy King, and the setup for the worst sitcom in the history of Westeros. Let's get freaky. As ever, you can contact us by email: sharkliveroipodcast@gmail.com, or on Twitter: @sharkliveroil.

We're back and badder than a Greyjoy rebellion. Journey with Matt and Dave through the third part of A Clash of Kings - from page 207 (Tyrion - "The Queen was not disposed to wait on Varys") to 342 (Theon - "She was undeniably a beauty"). Get ready for wildfire cooking maniacs, cack-handed brotherly diplomacy and a big old knees up at Wintefell for the Harvest Festival. It all sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

The Song of Ice and Fire continues, and we sing along - this time, it's part 1 of A Clash of Kings. We read the book in 10 TV-show sized chunks as we catch up with the series in time to blog along with season 4. The first book saw us gallop all over the land of Westeros, and for the second book, everything is bigger. The battles. The egos. The dragons. As ever, we're asking the questions no-one else dares to ask, up to and including the possibility of an odd-couple comedy featuring Ser Alliser Thorne and a zombie hand. You heard it here first. You can join us on our epic journey, too - email us on sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, or tweet us: @sharkliveroil.

We read A Game of Thrones (the book) in 10 episodes (with the TV show). And it has come to this. Houses fall. Bastards (utter, utter bastards) end up on the throne. And a Dothraki barbecue gets seriously out of hand. But we're not finished! Our epic gallop through A Song of Ice and Fire continues later this week with Part 1 of Book 2 - A Clash of Kings. It's not over yet, not by the length of a long sword. Who's your favourite murderous psycho, your capo de tutti manipulative monarchs? What have you loved and hated about the book? And where are we going next? Email us: sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, or tweet us up: @sharkliveroil. And we'll see you soon, when Kings Clash.

Well, well, well. Get your hankies out, ladies and gentlemen, as we say a fond farewell to one, and possibly two very well loved characters. Matt and Dave are here to help you through the pain. Download, listen, tell your friends. If you don't, you might just end up like one of the lamb men of the lazarene.. Shark Liver Oil is a podcast about books.

We read 'A Game of Thrones' by George RR Martin, in ten TV-sized chunks. This week it's part 8, 'The Pointy End', and we're rocketing around Westeros faster than a blue-eyed zombie monster thing can rip yer head off. We're learning battle tactics, the worst threat you can make about someone's manhood, and the lyrical beauty of Dothraki pillow-talk - join us!

It's all about power plays on this week's Shark Liver Oil. Big Ned Stark decides to make his move on the Iron Throne - but can he outwit the sly and ruthless Lannisters?

The pedal is firmly on the metal, and it's staying there as we hurtle into part 6 of A Game of Thrones. What crimes must Tyrion confess? What similarities are there between a Horse-Lord's capital city and the British Museum? And what inspiring words can one expect to hear at a Westerosi graduation ceremony? All this and more will be answered as we continue to romp through this fantastic book. Hope you enjoy it - if you've got any questions to ask/points to make/rotten fruit to throw at us, catch us on Twitter: @sharkliveroil or by email: sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com.

Uh oh.. The shit's about to hit the fan as the irrepressible force of House Lannister meets the immovable object of House Stark. We'll be discussing lance busting jousts, badass grandpas and terrifying braziers (there fiery kind). And we end the cast on the most dramatic cliffhanger yet - a bloody fight to the death in the rain soaked streets of Kings Landing. As Ray Arnold said in Jurassic Park.. "Hold on to your butts!"

Merry Christmas!! During this season of goodwill it's the perfect time to do a podcast focussing on the most downtrodden in Westeros. Part 4 of Shark Liver Oil's coverage of George RR Martin's Game Of Thrones will talk about everything from Westerosi kids with no legitimate dad to Westerosi pensioners with no legitimate stories to tell. And it ends with a big political move that could be a "game (of thrones) changer." It's going to be more fun than a drunken horse race down the Street of Sisters.

Back on the attack like two macs in a sack, it's part three of Shark Liver Oil's coverage of George RR Martin's beast - A Game of Thrones. Matt and Dave will be up at the wall as Jon Snow makes some new friends and down in Kings Landing as Ned Stark sizes up some new "colleagues." It's like the first day of school. With swords. If you've any comments to make about the book or the cast send them to sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com or get in touch on twitter @sharkliveroil. Bosh.

Saddle up the horses and sharpen your blade as Shark Liver Oil takes a little journey down the Kingsroad. In this part we read all the way from Bran's big drop to Lady's big finish. Along the way, we'll talk about squabbling siblings, a king without power and the triumphant real life version of Hot Springs House. This is part 2 of a 10 part podcast about George RR Martin's novel, A Game Of Thrones. We compare it to the HBO series but primarily discuss the book version.

Wrap up warm kids, because Winter is truly coming. Matt and Dave embark on their journey through George RR Martin's A Game of Thrones. We get drunk with John Snow, cower in fear of cookie monster zombies and take an immediate dislike to an annoying little prince called Joffrey. If you're reading along with us, this cast covers the book from the prologue to page 81, which is the end of one of Bran's chapters. Read up to there but go no further! And remember, a party's not a party until Benjen Stark shows up with a bong.

It’s time for a new book! And it’s a monster - we take on George RR Martin’s A Game of Thrones. Eventually, we’ll cover the whole of his A Song of Ice and Fire, following along behind it like a gambolling jester behind a marauding army. Because that’s what we do. We’ll be posting the first part of our coverage soon, but let this introcast whet your appetite for swords, lords and wars abroad. Or in Westeros. Whatever. Read along with us, up to page 82, and let us know what you think - sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, and Twitter @sharkliveroil. Strap on your armour, unsheath your sword and let’s get medieval.
