24 - A Feast of Holidays

In this episode we take a trip through our world and the world of ASOIAF to discuss feasts, holidays, festivals and more! We discuss how the celebrations of maidens in France is more fun than the Maiden's day in Westeros, how harvest feasts are similar in many cultures (and worlds), and how Lo's ancestors have quite a few things in common with Old Gods worshippers...    Join us on this celebration of feasts!   Tell your friends about us and leave us a flurry of stars and a review wherever you listen to this episode. <3   You can also join us on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/c/RagmansPod] 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 [https://bsky.app/profile/ragmanspod.bsky.social] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/ragmanspod/] Thank you to Matt Graham for the theme music with sounds from zapsplat.com!   References and sources Virginie talks about: “Fêtes de Jeanne d'Arc: Présentation & images” [https://www.orleans.fr/fetes-de-jeanne-d-arc/presentation] (Joan of Arc : programme and photos)  “L’Assomption et jour ferie - ses origines et son histoire [https://www.archeologie-et-histoire-morestel.fr/lassomption-et-jour-ferie/]” (The Assumption and public holiday - their origins and history) “Solennité de l’Assomption à Notre-Dame de Paris” [https://www.notredamedeparis.fr/assomption-solennite/] (The Solemnity of the Assumption in Notre Dame in Paris) “Fête des Vendanges de Montmarte” [https://fetedesvendangesdemontmartre.com] (Montmartre wine festival) Ancient Tongan ‘inasi [https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-first-fruits-inasi-ceremony-held-at-Lapaha-in-1777-in-front-of-the-tomb-langi-of-a_fig4_268707273]   Lo talks about: “Skördefest” (Harvest feast) - Swedish Wikipedia  [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%B6rdefest] “Mickelsmäss” (Michaelmass) - Institutet för språk och folkminne [https://www.isof.se/utforska/kunskapsbanker/lar-dig-mer-om-arets-namn-och-handelser/handelser/mickelsmass](Institute for language and folklore)  “Myten om blotet” (The myth about the blot) - Populär historia [https://popularhistoria.se/vetenskap/arkeologi/myten-om-blotet](article includes photo of mural by Carl Larsson) “Jul (förkristen)” (Yule (pre-Christian))” - Swedish Wikipedia [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jul_(f%C3%B6rkristen)] “Lucka 21: Midvinteroffer till gudarna” (Door 21: Midwinter sacrifices to the gods) - Arkeologerna [https://arkeologerna.com/bloggar/arkeologernas-julkalender/lucka-21-midvinteroffer-till-gudarna/]  “Vikingatiden i nytt ljus” (The Viking Age in new light) - Populär historia  [https://popularhistoria.se/sveriges-historia/vikingatiden/vikingatiden-i-nytt-ljus] “Skåne County” - English Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%A5ne_County] (about Skåne County) The Swedish comedian (and mental health advocate) who makes funny videos about horses from Skåne (whose name Lo couldn’t quite remember) is Henrik Wahlström. https://www.instagram.com/henrikwahlstroem?igsh=MzI0NDg2dW5iZm55 [https://www.instagram.com/henrikwahlstroem?igsh=MzI0NDg2dW5iZm55]

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 [ragmanspod@gmail.com] BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/ragmanspod.bsky.social] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/ragmanspod/] Thank you to Matt Graham for the theme music with sounds from zapsplat.com [https://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 [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 [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 [https://youtu.be/sZ2YcMrPHq0?is=GItRbhvRKSF1kyy8] (rafting in Uppsala during Valborg) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXwLEeeo_6J/?igsh=aGtzcTg2Z2FyODFk [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.isof.se/utforska/kunskapsbanker/lar-dig-mer-om-arets-namn-och-handelser/handelser/valborgsmassoafton]  https://www.nordiskamuseet.se/utforska/hogtider/valborgsmassoafton/ [https://www.nordiskamuseet.se/utforska/hogtider/valborgsmassoafton/] https://www.so-rummet.se/fakta-artiklar/historien-bakom-valborgsfirandet-och-forsta-maj# [https://www.so-rummet.se/fakta-artiklar/historien-bakom-valborgsfirandet-och-forsta-maj] https://www.etc.se/inrikes/aer-valborg-ett-borgerligt-paahitt [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 [http://patreon.com/RagmansPod] 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 [ragmanspod@gmail.com] BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/ragmanspod.bsky.social] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/ragmanspod/] Thank you to Matt Graham for the theme music with sounds from zapsplat.com [https://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 [http://patreon.com/RagmansPod] 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 !
