Feast your ears around our latest episode!
It's great to be back covering Fire And Blood after the summer off covering HOTD.
We continue our read through of the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs And Tragedies".
This time we see the final years of Rhaena (sorry Beth), babies are born, patriarchy lives on, Barth gets a new job and immediately has a rather threatening away-day in Braavos, AND Alysanne ventures north to spend time with House Manderly.
Expect chat about Faceless Men, a Mrs Doubtfire impression, Stef's obsession with smells, a hilarious Patreon question and... dun dun dunnnnn! Beth slips on her tinfoil hat and is reluctant to give it up.
As always, enjoy and leave a comment or get in touch to chat about the episode with us!

And we're back.
It's the episode we've been excited to bring to you since we recorded way back in May! Patreons already have it, and now you can listen to this super special episode featuring none other than one of the most amazing human beings in all of the universe, Sanrixian.
She joins us to break down all things dragon into sexy detail. This episode is genuinely excellent and full of juice. We read a bit more about Rhaena and what she's been up to, and ALSO her lover and Alys Westhill and her crazy plans.
Biggest news in the seven kingdoms is that Balerion has been sighted again. That's right. Aerea is back. And it ain't good. Grab your favourite comforting drink and food, wrap yourself up cosy, because this is going to get weird. GRRM's horror writing at its best, some might say.
As a result of what happens we get super into Dragonlore and all kinds of stuff, some tin foil, some less so. It was before GRRM released the new stuff about dragons, so who knows if we were correct about anything!?
Enjoy!

Season 2 is over!
Episode 8 hit and StefLyoness and BWord are here to talk all about what happened, what it means for the next seasons and also what it means for all future canon. Spoilers all. You have been warned.
We chat about prophecy, blood magic, greenseers, dragonseers, smallfolk, awkward family dinners (we're looking at you, Ulf and Jace), mud wrestling and just how many wives Tyland had to ahem, you know, show The Captain's Daughter to... sorry. That's a terrible euphemism. I apologise.
This is the last of our NotAStreams and we will be resuming our usual podcast reading through the HOTD source material, Fire & Blood. in the next couple of weeks, dropping an episode we did with the beautiful Sanrixian very soon!
As always, enjoy. Get in touch on Twitter or find us on Patreon for more content!

And we're back! StefLyoness and BWord breaking down Episode 7 of House Of The Dragon, "The Red Sowing".
We look at what's been going on in Westeros this week and make predictions for next week's finale. Leaks be damned!
Questions we pose this time:
What's Larys really up to? How come Oscar Tully is so cool? What does it actually take to claim a dragon? What does this mean for Danaerys in the future? What implications does the red sowing have for House Targaryen? What's going to happen with Helaena next week and how can we protect her?
SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.

BWord and StefLyoness are back to breakdown HOTD Season 2 Episode 6, "Smallfolk". Expect conversation about a slap and a kiss on Dragonstone, a riot in Kings Landing and Daemon doing his thing in Harrenhal. There is passionate debate over the pacing of the show and Stef may be feeling some feelings about it...
As always, enjoy. Leave comments and review us if you want!

StefLyoness and BWord are breaking down episode 5 of season 2 of House Of The Dragon so you don't have to!
We delve into this... perhaps slower episode... with as much precision as usual. Like, really what on earth is happening in The Riverlands and at Harrenhal? And what on earth is THAT dream of Daemon's all about? And why is this happening?
The green and black council meetings are explored and Stef loses it about Ser Alfred Broome (the butthead). And Alicent's patriarchal chickens come home to roost, just when she realises her second son may actually be a cold hearted attempted kinslayer, kingslayer and downright sociopath.
Please do enjoy! Don't forget to review us and chat to us on Twitter! We love hearing from everyone, it really makes our day.

Surprise! StefLyoness was ill this week so the amazing Scad from Davos Fingers Podcast stepped in gallantly and brilliantly for them.
He and Beth break down their favourite and less favourite bits from the latest episode of House Of The Dragon, "The Red Dragon And The Gold". Expect chat about Harrenhal shenanigans with Daemon and Alys, THAT DRAGO BATTLE SCENE, and Aemond "The Savage" Targaryen.
As always, enjoy. Don't forget to review and subscribe to us so you get all the notifications you need!
And thanks again to Scad. You rock, dude.

In this next NotAStream, StefLyoness and BWord are breaking down the third episode from season two of House of The Dragon, "The Burning Mill".
We chat all about our favourite scenes and themes. This time you can expect talk all about the people Aegon and Rhaenrya are listening to and why they choose to listen to them, how the show is planting (Dragon)seeds, what else is in Alicent's booby pockets, Stef tries to make Gwayne's World happen and there's obviously a full breakdown of THAT Weirwood dream.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Don't forget to comment on Twitter or find us on YouTube or Patreon. Leave a review if you like what you hear!

We've changed our format slightly to doing podcasts for our HOTD content (which is also going up on YouTube). That way we can more easily fit content into our lives and get the best of us to you as soon as possible!
We are having a break from the usual content of our podcasts to break down House Of The Dragon, season two. And this one is all about episode two, "Rhaenyra The Cruel'". We break down some of our favourite scenes and themes for your listening pleasure. Expect chat about families, the smallfolk, that Epic Scene between the Cargyll twins and, most importantly, we wonder, 'Is Otto actually not that bad?'
As always, enjoy. Like, comment and review!

We've started a new chapter!
"Jaehaerys And Alysanne - Their Triumphs And Tragedies". It's not as heavy as the previous chapter (yet), but there's still plenty for us to talk about. And we do!
We go on a hunt for Aerea with Rhaena across Westeros, we learn more about Dragonlore, ponder who Septon Barth (the all-knowing) actually is, go through the Westerlands with Jaehaerys and even have a baby with Alysanne.
There is speculation about dragon sex, whether it is possible to be diplomatic to an ass-hat, and Stef gets annoyed with how much the maesters get up Jaehaerys's butt.

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.

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!

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!

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

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!

This one goes out to all the Bros! Bro-ratheons of the world, assemble! This chapter is where Fire and Blood turns into a Telenovela: He hates her because this and she resents him because that, and they all hate that guy because secretly this person is married to their sister. No. Really. There are schemes and plots and dastardly doings! Wicked Stepfathers! Sexcapades! Naughty books! Homoerotic sword-fighting! BRogar Baratheon himself gets quite the pasting from Stef (get ready for a 10 minute rant about THAT guy). As always Beth's squeaky chair make itself known, as do Stef's noisy kids. We can only apologise. Extra apologies for Stef's reading which they have realised is rushed AF. Notes have been taken and it will not happen again. Promise.

Another bride, another groom. Another sunny honeymoon. But there is no Makin' Whoopee in this part of the chapter...It's the final wedding in the Year of The Three Brides. Another royal do. But this one is as secret as the first, and arguably more significant than the second. Listen to this to hear Stef and Beth discuss Targaryen incest, why having chins, teats and sense is apparently important in a bride (according to Lord Rogar Baratheon), and just what takes place when someone tries to tell Alysanne and Jaehaerys Targaryen who they are supposed to or not supposed to marry. Stef's noisy family try to make themselves heard in the background of this. For which they can only apologise. Beth's chair also makes itself known as a special guest as well. Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think! Thanks, love you, byeeee!

Ding dong, the bells are going to chime! This chapter contains three weddings. There is so much information about them (thanks GRRM) that we've had to divide the chapter and only talk about the first two this time. The first wedding is secretive and small! The second is lusty and lewd! Listen as Septon Poopy Pants performs the wedding rites for Lord Lusty Knickers (apologies, that word is horrible). We learn more about Queen Alyssa, Princess Alysanne, King Jaehaerys and also, Lord Pervy Pants himself, Rogar Baratheon. BWord and StefLyoness break down his character and look into Greek, Norse and Roman mythology and how it relates to who the actual heck the Baratheons are and what their deal really is.This episode features: Jousting! Melées! Feasts and Frolics! Orgies! And so much more! Not least StefLyoness's super creaky chair that really wanted to be a part of the episode and have its opinions heard. For that she can only apologise. Enjoy, and as always, leave a review if you want. We always appreciate it. Happy listening!

Welcome to episode seven of Kissed By Fire! As it's the seventh episode Beth and Stef do their best to honour The Seven themselves with chat about the fallout from Maegor The Cruel's dramatic end. This is a shorter chapter from Fire and Blood by GRRM, but it is packed with drama and mystery. Like: what really happened to Septon Moon? And: who in the hell was he any way? And why did he hate on Targs so much? We also deep dive into the new King of Westeros, Jaehyaerys, First of His Name. At 14 years of age he is too young to rule, so who is truly in charge of the realm? And when there are other claimants, why should HE ascend the throne? There are identity swaps, a number of not-really trials, and heads wrapped up and sent as gifts. Oh and Stef tries to make "Coolio-Boolio" happen. Let us know what you think by rating us and giving us feedback!
-
Maegor! Was he cruel? Or a misunderstood Zombie creation? He battles The Faith, forces many women to marry him and really enjoys a good fire started by Balerion. Beth and Stef ask if he really was mad, or simply kink-positive and against organised religion? (note: forced marriage is never just a kink, people!)
This episode is jam-packed full of whodunnits, whoisits, and whofarteds.
Let us know in the comments if you liked it, and if you have any answers to the questions posed by this huge chapter of Fire and Blood by George R R Martin.
