Few fandoms can even be compared with that of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series. The fandom is full of creative greats supplying essays, videos, podcasts and more. On the Isle of Faces, I turn the camera, or mic rather, back on them, and take the opportunity to highlight who these Fandom Greats are as people, and how they came to ASOIAF in the first place

Sporcle Spectacular- Forging The Three- Edition 2

Jul 12 2024 35 mins

It's a mic check! The Isle needs to check equipment, location, and whether I can remember how the hell you use Audacity. The way to do that? A sporcle spectacular! Need a laugh? Come join me as I struggle to remember who's who, what's what, and where's where (plus plenty more) Come along, have a go, and most importantly let me know how the audio sounds (also how you are, if you fa

Sporcle Spectacular- Forging the Three

It's a mic check! Why? Cos these aren't decent mics we're using. The Isle needs to check equipment, location, and whether I can remember how the hell you use Audacity. The way to do that? A sporcle spectacular! Need a laugh? Come join me as I struggle to remember who's blonde, who's who in the Night's Watch (which I just typed out as Nightwatch if you need a clue how much I've forg

Sporcle Spectacular: Forging the Five IV

Oct 22 2022 81 mins

It is true. After much gib-gab and mucking about, I actually managed to get back in front of a mic and talk some bollocks. And what bollocks it was! There's mumbling, stumbling, and more than a fair share of crumbling (in terms of ASOIAF knowledge, not spines...so far) In case you forgot: These episodes are based around the Quiz website sporcle and their ASOIAF category. I click on

100 Questions on the Winds of Winter Part 5

Oct 15 2022 86 mins

The time has come. After a big ole gap, and delays to delays, surgeries and royal deaths and road bumps galore...your Isle has returned. And it wants answers. Answers to questions such as: - Where will Daenerys and Drogon fly to next? - What will Daenerys' reaction to the Battle of Fire be? - Will Stannis' burning of Shireen be 'successful'? - What eldritch/

Sporcle Spectacular! Forging the Five III

Aug 21 2021 61 mins

Trivia and shouting both return to the Isle of Faces in equal measure as we return for some Sporcle Spectacular and the third iteration of an attempt to Forge the Five. And THIS TIME, I actually got the video to work (supposedly), so if you fancy watching along on my screen to see some cool maps and better focus your consternation at whatever I got wrong, you can head over to

Sporcle Spectacular! Forging the Five

Jul 29 2021 55 mins

Here we are again, back for more sporcle fun to fill in the little break here on the Isle (There may also be some brief exclamations over the NBA finals and the Olympics. I cannot confirm. Definitely not) This time, there's Storm of Swords characters (where you will definitely be screaming some of the simpler answers I forget), there's Free Cities talk, Night's Watch trivia, whi

100 Questions on The Winds Of Winter Part 4 (Qs 31-40)

Jul 15 2021 182 mins

This time round we ask and answer another ten questions for THREE WHOLE HOURS. How did we do it? With plenty of help from you fine folk. Emily and I make up our own Westerosi newspaper headlines, discuss the future of the far south, tick off a list, and laugh a whole bunch! Specifically, today's questions are: - Name a Westerosi headline we could see in Winds - What will be th

Sporcle Spectacular! Forging of the Four

Jul 10 2021 42 mins

Today I go head-to-head against ASOIAF sporcle. Using the trusty ole 'random' button, I try to beat the average score for four quizzes in a row. Finish below the average? Back to the beginning! No prisoners are taken in a Sporcle Spectacular. So get ready to shout out loads of clearly obvious answers that I forget in my haste to forge. That will include a good many Houses, place na

Scraps and Scrolls: TWOW Victarion + non-preview POV round-up

Jul 02 2021 91 mins

Thus, the journey is complete! We return to the beginning as we head back to the Battle of Fire and a Meereen on the edge! This time it's through the eyes of everyone's favourite delusional moron: Victarion! And this time he's a moron with a plan. Two in fact. One for battle, one for something altogether more...fiery. And flappy. Aboard the Iron Victory we muse about realistic bat

Emily and I are back for another 10 questions, and it's our biggest episodes yet. We've got secret plots, we've got hoped-for vengeance, the crumbling of the Wall (or not), and dead (or not) POVs! Specifically, today's questions include: - What will happen in the Winds prologue? - Will the Wall be down by the end of the book? - What will be the difference between book and show fo
