Kvothe plays a joke and a song, but the joke’s on him when he gets poisoned and earns his worst tuition to date!

In this episode the Fingers kick off their coverage of The Wise Man’s Fear, the second book of The Kingkiller Chronicle, by Patrick Rothfuss.  In what is a bit of a catchup series of chapters, we see the silence of the Inn, the magical illusion Kote has laid upon the civilians of the town that even he can’t overcome, and we reacquaint ourselves with the Eolian as Kvothe tries to make some money for tuition…the same old song and dance! We do have Devi After Dark available again at the end of the episode.  We cover this series spoiler-free in the main section, but Devi After Dark is our chance to dive into the wilder speculation which so many have already spent hours and days laying out in various locations.  We hope to bring you the best of our own theories and thoughts in the fandom as we move through the series. Come find us on Twitter these @davosfingers where we just finished the annual A Song of Madness Tournament.  We can also be found on Facebook and Bluesky, or you can reach out with an email through wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, and if you REALLY like us, you can support us on patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers!

In Episode 148, Matt and Scad go walking and talking with Kvothe and Denna as the pair connect for hours after Kvothe skips out on work. It's also a bit of a catchup episode. Kvothe has all sorts of opportunity in front of him now that he has obtained his talent pipes and completed his training in the artificery, but what will he prioritize, and can he focus on getting a little bit ahead in life, or will he get distracted by the things he doesn't have.

Episode 147:  Caught By A Smile   The boys from Davos’ Fingers get a nice easy break this episode to sit back and listen to a master at work.  This series of chapters is contained almost entirely within the happening music spot, The Eolian, where Kvothe attempts to “earn his pipes”.  A small trinket fashioned to look like silver pipes, they will earn him money and clout if he is successful.  But it is no easy task, as it takes a flawless and moving performance from a skilled artist, with most attempts not meeting the bar.  Kvothe drinks with his good friends, makes a few new ones, and is reunited with an old one from months ago all in this one magical night at the Eolian. The Davos’ Fingers Podcast has drifted away from ASOIAF for a time to dive into the wonderful world created by Patrick Rothfuss within The Kingkiller Chronicle.
