Join us as we sprint into Season 6 of Game of Thrones, and share our astonished delight at the continued survival of the original badassed grandpa; surely he can't be long for this world?

Hey, you know what would be a good idea? Heading down to the dragon pit for a bit of amateur dragon taming." Said no sane person ever. Join Shark Liver Oil for our penultimate part in our gargantuan read through of A Dance With Dragons. We spend a lot of time across the narrow sea as Quentyn makes his bid for greatness. We also check in with Tyrion as he tries to become a mercenary and we join Cersei for the worst stroll through Ki...

We're back! And this week, there's the smooth flavour of Essos' own take on Ocean's Eleven, the arresting notion of Nicholas Cage as Arya Stark, and the surprising possibility that George RR Martin was once shut out of a Madness gig and took it reeeeeaaally personally. I don't know what you're used to, Wensleydale, but around here we do things by the book. As ever, get in touch through sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com, on on Twitter ...

In part 11 Shark Liver Oil boldly sails into unchartered waters in search of a mysterious land called Pork and Monkey Island! First discovered by Victarion Greyjoy. The bold captain waited there for his Iron Fleet and (while enthusiastically stocking up on all the pig meat he could carry) was mercilessly pelted with as much shit as a troop of monkeys could throw (which was a lot). We're also treated to the Talent Show To End All Ta...

We're back, and it's time for part 10 of our coverage of A Dance With Dragons by George RR Martin. This week, we've got characters trolling other characters, and the author trolling his audience; it must be Game of Thrones. Also a wedding, (another) ambiguous death scene, and Theon striking the least-well-timed heroic pose in the history of Westeros. As ever, let us know what you're thinking about the book, the podcast, or Season 6...

"Extra! Extra! Read All About It! Mad Dick Head Kisses Queen! Not Long For This World!"
Welcome to part 9 of Dance With Dragons or, featuring a cast of thousands, seemingly not long for this world. Northmen from the hills are fatalistically preparing for a chilly winter death, Stannis is getting bogged down in snow, Daario is pushing new boundaries of indiscretion and Ser Barristan continues to defy Dave's prediction of violent de...

The shark rides the dragon onwards, ever onwards! This week in our romp through A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin, we've got the many faces of the Artist Formerly Known As Theon Greyjoy, a heroic effort from Jon Snow to piss off literally everybody who works for him, and the worst cooking practice in the history of naval cuisine. Also witticisms, attempted witticisms, and jokes that didn't fall flat on their faces, you're ...

It's all about extreme in part seven of Shark Liver Oil's readthrough of A Dance With Dragons. From the smallest amongst us we find out more about Tyrion and Penny's pig riding, ship breaking and storm ravaged journey across the hot and humid climes of their ocean journey towards Slavers Bay. At the other end of the height spectrum, everyone's favourite giant Wun Wun has trouble settling into life at Castle Black. It's like fire an...

WE'RE BACK ON THE DRAGONS! It's our return for a final victory lap of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin (at least until The Winds of Winter comes out). Revel! In the sight of a grown admiral acting like an angry teenager. Gasp! At the wince-enducing cruelty of negligent pirates. And chortle! At the apparent presence of early 90's hip comedy staples in the otherwise bleak wastes of Westeros. As ever, get in tou...

Get ready to meet Griff, Halfmaester Haldon, as-yet-unnamed-purple-haired-boy, Sexy Septa and of course the worst named knight in the seven kingdoms and beyond: Ser Duck.

WE'RE BACK! As dragon returns to its recently-charred livestock, so we return to A Song of Ice and Fire, and it's good to be back on the dragon wagon. This week, we've got the return - with a bump - of all the characters you missed during A Feast for Crows, which means Jon Snow! In the snow! Tyrion Lannister! In a barrel! And Danaerys Targaryen! In a surprisingly complex political and cultural quandary! Yes, ASOIAF is still the sma...

Its the final episode of Shark Liver Oil's rollocking good romp through George RR Martin's A Feast For Crows! And what a feast we have for you here. In a shock twist, Brienne appears to have survived, only to appear to die again a few pages later in another shock twist. Will she return in yet another shock twist when we get to A Dance of Dragons? And speaking of shock twists... its the return of Pate!!! (who?). Dude from the prolog...

In Descent, Shark Liver Oil explores the murky nadir of A Feast For Crows. We plough through more Cersei insanity and spend almost an entire chapter locked in a tower with a petulant and unapologetic teenager. We then get a luxurious amount of detail lavished upon Sansa and Sweetrobin's climb down the mountain. With no Brienne or Jaime to redeem it, this looks like a bumpy ride ahead.
But what's this? Dave actually liked most of ...

We continue our tour of Westeros like the hardy northmen we are, not even asking for a refund when the bed turns out to be more populated with bugs than Kings Landing is by psychos; INSTEAD, we hear the world's worst marriage proposal, see the outcome of some truly horrendous dental work, and Ser Loras encounters a Family Guy tribute he'll never forget. The poor bastard.
Matt's still scared that our audience is standing around in ...

We continue our rollocking good romp through George RR Martin's A Feast For Crows with Part 7: The Quiet Isle. Brienne takes a breather on Monk Island, a not so cunning plot of Cersei's backfires spectacularly and we visit Braavos and meet Cassio - King Of The Seals. Will he make a late bid for the Iron Throne? We certainly hope so.
We're also making a heartfelt plea for feedback. We can see from our stats that we've had a bit of ...

We're back, galloping across Westeros, thundering through King's Landing and doing fuck all in the North because there's none of that in this book and George Martin doesn't care how you feel. BUT INSTEAD we've got a new entry in the popular 'poor life choices in Westeros' series (now starring Cersei), a rare sighting of Jaime's sense of honour, and the mother of all hangovers. Grab your bottles of ouzo destructo and get involved - ...

We're at the halfway stage of A Feast For Crows by George RR Martin and things are starting to heat up! There's a crazy one man cavalry charge to round off an even crazier freewheeling teen plot to take over Westeros, a diplomatic masterclass from everyone's favourite slimy politician and some strange happenings over at the House of Black and White. And if that wasn't enough there's flying porridge and a Westeros wide ban of beets ...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
