100 episodes

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

    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 forgotten), and who has a son and who doesn't, plus plenty more.
    Come along, have a go, and most importantly let me know how the audio sounds (also how you are, if you fancy)

    Sporcle Spectacular: Forging the Five IV

    Sporcle Spectacular: Forging the Five IV

    It is true. After much gib-gab and mucking about, I actually managed to get back in front of a mic and talk some b******s. 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 the random button and try to beat the average score FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. Do I do it first time? You look at the episode length and tell me. Do I forget simple, basic, first-day ASOIAF knowledge? You fucking bet I do. Is this a good way of showing myself up and perhaps beginning to make amends for my absence? Well I sure hope so.
    It's a bit of fun, a bit of a laugh, and hopefully a way to ease our way back onto the shores. 
    Even more importantly, HAVE A GO YOURSELF. And lemme know your amazingly high scores! I'd love to get some dialogue and conversation going, and this is always a good place to start.

    100 Questions on the Winds of Winter Part 5

    100 Questions on the Winds of Winter Part 5

    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/otherworldly creatures could feature in the Battle of Ice?
     


    - And is Gilly even in Oldtown?


     


    Hopefully you all remember how this works much better than I do. Send your questions, send your answers, send your complaints! And if you have any, send your feedback too.

    Sporcle Spectacular! Forging the Five III

    Sporcle Spectacular! Forging the Five III

    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 our Patreon to do so.
     


    This time round there's Game of Thrones actor names, who died where, Joffrey facts, and lots lots more. As always, be sure to send in your own scores and any ideas for a description of my performance.

    Sporcle Spectacular! Forging the Five

    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, which kings died when, and plenty more! 
    Take a go yourselves with the links below before you have a listen if you fancy, and definitely let me know your scores if so.

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

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

    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 the big 'pull the rug moment' of the book? 
    -  Will there be any significant pregnancies? 
    - What was going on with Craster and the Others?
    - What does the future hold for Sarella?
    - What does the future hold for Darkstar?
    - Will Jon Connington burn King's Landing?
    - Who is next to die on Arya's list? 
    - What will the Weeper do? 
    - Is there anything to the lemon tree theory?
     
    Thank you for your questions. Thank you for your answers. Keep sending them both in! But before you do join us on the Isle to hear us chat about the wonder that is Gilly, who cares about Dunsen, and the wildfire safety leaflet going missing

Can’t wait to hear more from the isle !

Isle of Faces

The perfect chaser for History of Westeros Valar Rereadis. When you’ve gone deep in your ASOIAF rereading and need to go deeper with your podcasts. Ser Buckley has a very calm pleasant voice and some great thoughts on the books.

Arjun H ,

Great New Show

I like the concept and it’s well executed. Keep up the good work 😊
