Vassals of Kingsgrave
Vassals of Kingsgrave (VOK) is a podcast for fans of fantasy fiction, particularly George R. R. Martin’s A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE and J. R. R. Tolkien’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS. We also love to chat about movies, TV shows, comic books, video games, anime, and fandom culture.
Since our first episode in June 2013, we have attracted over 50 regular contributors, and recorded almost 1000 hours of original content. Currently, our hosts span four continents, and argue in a variety of different accents, but the one language we all share is geek! Full episode archive available at VOKpodcast.com
