We are Ragman’s Harbour, the official podcast of the Planetosi Exchange Programme, a new podcast dedicated to discussing real-life historical and cultural parallels to ASOIAF, from a non-Anglo perspective. Because we, Virginie and Lo, come from non-English speaking countries although we use English as our common language!

    Bonus episode - preview of holidays of ASOIAF

    Welcome to this bonus episode! As mentioned in the episode, life has conspired against us managing to find time to record, so in the meanwhile here is a shorter episode with just Lo. This is also a preview of sorts of the episode we have coming up, where we will discuss what holidays exist (and should exist) in ASOIAF. In this episode Lo discusses Valborg/Walpurgis night, and end up discussing May 1st as well. And why Westeros should have a spring festival!   You can contact us at: ragmanspod@gmail.com BlueSky Instagram Thank you to Matt Graham for the theme music with sounds from zapsplat.com!   If you want to see videos of the singing promised by Lo, check out these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmoLQ5JrfHk&list=RDcmoLQ5JrfHk&start_radio=1 (children's choir singing songs you often hear at Valborg) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTmYi8oMxjY&list=RDLTmYi8oMxjY&start_radio=1 (smaller choir singing at an actual Valborg celebration)   If you're curious about the rafting in Uppsala during Valborg, here are two videos about that: https://youtu.be/sZ2YcMrPHq0?is=GItRbhvRKSF1kyy8 (rafting in Uppsala during Valborg) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXwLEeeo_6J/?igsh=aGtzcTg2Z2FyODFk   Other references and sources: https://www.isof.se/utforska/kunskapsbanker/lar-dig-mer-om-arets-namn-och-handelser/handelser/valborgsmassoafton  https://www.nordiskamuseet.se/utforska/hogtider/valborgsmassoafton/ https://www.so-rummet.se/fakta-artiklar/historien-bakom-valborgsfirandet-och-forsta-maj# https://www.etc.se/inrikes/aer-valborg-ett-borgerligt-paahitt

    AKOT7K wrap-up w/ Vendela

    In this episode we wrap up our coverage of season one of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and discuss what we thought about the season as a whole. We're also joined by Lo's friend Vendela, who hasn't read the books, to get her perspective on the show! So if you've ever wondered what a show-only-fan might think of Dunk & Egg, tune in!   We also return to our himbo-ranking (by popular demand) and discuss important topics such as Maekar's orange cat energy and how thicc Raymun is.  Tell your friends and leave us a flurry of stars and a review wherever you listen to this episode. 3 You can also join us on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction episodes in your ears (and even go as far as save the world!)   You can contact us at: ragmanspod@gmail.com BlueSky Instagram Thank you to Matt Graham for the theme music with sounds from zapsplat.com!

    AKOT7(9)K - little monsters

    What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! And now we say good bye to our boys for some time, as they go away on adventures we won't join in until season 2 :( We liked this episode, although we of course have a couple complains but over all, that's really minor. We got some feel good moments, some haha moments, some teary-eyed moments, some easter eggs, some social justice, some teenage girl thinks, some unabashed himboism, a happy horse, a mystery brain thing from Lo and I both, wow, and we even get to learn about sheep and funerals while alive.  You can become one of the cool kittens on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction episodes in your ears (and even go as far as save the world!)

    AKOT7K S1E5 - Sh*t happens

    What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! The trial of Seven that was promised... Let's say one thing: it happened. I also want to give another tribute here to the best (and most upsetting) Books!Daario Naharis homage we'll ever get: Humphrey Beesbury deserved better ! Also, Daeron knew what was up (poor bb, give this sexy man a ticket to rehab) You can become one of the cool kittens on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction episodes in your ears (and even go as far as save the world!)

    AKOT7K S1E4 - "Honor is a horse"

    What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! As I type this, I realise it may be worth it to point out that this episode titled « Seven » is very much not a remake of the movie with Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. Just a head's up. So, here we are: Baelor nudges Dunk towards a trial by combat, but little jackass Aerion outsmarts him and requires a trial by seven. So now, Dunk has to assemble his team. He only has his squire, Prince Egg, and the honour [cough cough] of Ser Steffon Fossoway to help him get the crew together, and defend his, well, life -and the values of true knighthood: to protect the weak and innocent.  We may or may not get emotional, and may or may not tell you about how we watched this episode, and another time one of us watched an episode and cried a lot (even more than today, just before hitting record) Anyway, as always, let us know what you think, here or on social media, we love getting your feedback and extra commentary.   You can become one of the cool kittens on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction episodes in your ears (and even go as far as save the world!)

    AKOT7K S1E3 - The egg cracks open

    What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! We loved this episode, and of course, Virginie loves pointing out flaws as per her usual Parisianness, but fortunately Lo is here to counteract with music (you'll hear a clip of the murderer's song at the end of the episode, and can check out the whole thing out here) As per always we give you our best and if a few times it feels like Virginie is saying the wrong name or uses grammar very liberally, she has a good reason (fibromyalgia) Keep your comments coming, they keep us fuelled for what's coming now that Dunk is in big trouble for being a big strong women respecting kind himbo with the energy of a golden retriever and very much of an orange cat.

    AKOT7K S1E2 - Welcome to Himboland

    What used to be a bonus episode is now public -enjoy! We get to say "himbo" one thousand times and if Egg knew the word, he probably would, too. Let us see why, and also talk about classism, characterisation of new people, things we didn't need to see, foul language and so on and so forth of all the good stuff (and some of the not as great, too) You can become one of the cool kittens on Patreon and support our work + get some LOTR virgin read through reaction episodes in your ears (and even go as far as save the world!)
