Kissed By Fire - Episode 15 - Birth, Death and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys 1 - Pt. 3
Okay. Prepare yourself. This one is pretty epic. Firstly we are finally finishing the MAMMOTH chapter in which we have seen assassination attempts, egg theft, lesbian tiffs, angry children and plotting a scheming galore. This time there's more death, some pretty awful Westerosi Women's Health programmes and A LOT more death! In fact, there's so much death, people are worried about what's actually going down on Dragonstone. Secondly, wehave our first guest! Joe Magician kindly joins us! We invited him on because this part of the chapter contains a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes himself and JM made an awesome theory video about this mystery a few years back and we wanted him on to expound and discuss it. And discuss it, we did! I love his theory and we hope you will find it interesting too. Trigger warning: there is a lot of Rhaena Apologist Behaviour in this episode. Sorry. Actually, Beth isn't sorry. Just Stef. Enjoy and let us know what YOU think about what Androw Farman did in 54AC on that eerie isle of Dragonstone.

Episode 14 - Birth, Death and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I - Pt. 2
StefLyoness and BWord get on to the next part of this epic chapter in Fire And Blood by George R R Martin. In this episode we talk about the High Septon, The Hightowers, and even High Treason! All isn't well on Dragonstone and Rhaena is about to face a huge betrayal from someone she loves. It's a betrayal with far reaching consequences for the rest of the book series... Oh and the High Septon dies and Jaehaerys has to decide how he can maybe just make sure the next one will be all good with Targaryen Incest (please expect hints of corruption and suggestions of murder.) As always, let us know what you think and leave a review if you fancy!
Kissed By Fire - Episode 13 - Birth, Death and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I - Pt. 1
Well, well, well. Here we have it. Lucky thirteen. In this bonanza episode, Beth and Stef start this absolute BEEFSTEAK of a chapter. We manage the first ten pages, you guys. TEN. There's lots going on, as usual. Jaehaerys and Alysanne get on with their rule and show themselves to be excellent at it! The make progress and progresses (lol, iykyk) Stef casts some doubt about whether they really are that nice or if they're just great at politics. We also learn that Beth really won't cut Jaehaerys any slack at any time. In addition there's a naked assassination attempt! Shock! Horror! House Ball shows themselves to be a Baller house! Rhaena's court on Dragonstone is dull AF! Oh, and there is Jonquil, Jonquil everywhere... And lastly, the craziness of the Targ family tree is explored, Stef misquotes Hamlet and Beth has a lot of wrong opinions. LOL. Enjoy!
Kissed By Fire - Episode 12 - A Time Of Testing: The Realm Remade
Firstly... I'm so sorry. This recording was SUCH a pain in the backside to edit. The audio was awful and all attempts to improve it made it worse AND made it harder to cut out things I normally save you from hearing, such as chair noises, page turns, clattering pens... There is a section of weird noises I left in, but that was because it was funny. The problem is fixed so next time better (if not normal lol) service will be resumed. Secondly, here is the latest episode! Beth and Stef cover A Time Of Testing, when Jaehaerys finally gets to be an actual King and get on with the job of Kinging. He has to sort shit out at the Red Keep. Also make sure everything is good with The Faith because, oopsy, he accidentally married his sister and Westerosi people haven't historically been into that. In addition, he's got step-daddy from hell and treasonous-bro-in-chief, Rogar Baratheon to sort out once and for all, plus empty royal coffers (new Targ house words: No Money, Mo' Problems) and a prodigal sister that turns up needing a place to stay. Oh, also, my bad: I keep saying Yandel wrote Fire And Blood. It's not. It's really, really not. It's GYLDAYNE. FFS. I have self-flagellated (ooh errr) and vow never to make that mistake again! After all that, enjoy the episode! Love from, Stef and Beth
Kissed By Fire - Episode 11 - A Surfeit of Rulers Pt. 2
Come hear the juice! We have it all. The second half of this chapter is a doozy. In more bizarre twists and turns for this historical tome, we jump around Westeros, catching up with Rhaena and her court on Fair Isle for a bit. Not before jumping to Kings Landing for some sexy taxation talk (don't say we never give you treats), then a quick dip into Dorne, a sojourn in The North at The Wall to look at some naughty Nights Watchmen before settling back in The South at Dragonstone where we see if plans to scupper the marriage of Jaehaerys and Alysanne work out, and finally in Kings Landing where Rogar Baratheon casts the die for his downfall. That's right, there is treason afoot. The Maesters get bitchy. The Lannisters get greedy. Stef's mic is annoying. Her doorbell rings as well. Beth's chair wants to be the third on our podcast. And a fly gets frisky in Stef's office. It all happens on Episode 11!
