Latest Episodes

In our 11th episode of the subseries about the history of the divided Germany, we're looking at East Germany from 1973 to 1989 - the era named after its charismatic, relatable leader, Erich Honecker.

In this episode, I take Grant Piercy, better known as Heathen King, to task. We talk about revenge in ASOIAF and in the real world, as well. Find his books online!

It is the day of days - we're tackling one of the biggest chapters yet. Who are the three heads of the dragon? What are the betrayals? Who's the grey-lipped man on a ship? The false dragon? We're talking about none of that. Instead, we're taking the ... more

Is there good and evil in ASOIAF, or is just a morally grey mass and mess? I take this up with Quinn the GM, who made a very instructive video essay on it that I really wanted to discuss in depth.

  • Awful

    Not a patron

    But I do have 2 Darkstar theories:

    1.) He did kill Myrcella and that her cousin/look-a-like was scarred so she could be sent back as Myrcella.

    2.) He is actually Oberyn’s male Bastard and was Doran’s new snake he is hiding in the grass.

    Darkstar betrayed Arianne to Doran then tried to force Doran’s hand to go to war by killing Myrcella and he succeeded in killing her but Doran wouldn’t let his plans be ruined by his daughter or Dark Star so a little girl must be scarred he still... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BLAH 213 | Revenge in ASOIAF, with Grant Piercy (Heathen King)
Q: What does the nature of power mean in relation to revenge?
Power can turn desires for revenge into indiscriminate violence, as seen with various characters in the story.
BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: If you would now be in charge, the dictator of the DNC campaign to elect Biden in 2024, what is your message?
Validate their experience and highlight that it is now paying to work in America again.
BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: What do you exactly mean by 'it is too expensive to be a person'?
It's cost of living. It costs a lot for healthcare, childcare, and all other essentials.
BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: Would your position be that this is essentially not Donald Trump's election to win, but Biden's to lose?
That is correct. Biden has huge structural advantages.
BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: Is this a process that occurred naturally or is Trump actively facilitating that?
It's a symptom of a phenomena that was already happening in the Republican Party, and an accelerant of that.
