BLAH 181 | Designing board games, with Bryan Kromrey

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

With board game designer Bryan Kromrey, I talk about the adaptation of the famous RTS “Company of Heroes”, how the modern Kickstarter economy works and how his process for a second edition went.

BLAH 180 | Best of ASOIAF - The Hounds origin speech,...

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

Origin stories are a Hollywood trope. Oftentimes, they’re rote and uninteresting, but if done right, they can recontextualize and enrich characters you never thought would rise above mid-level anti-hero-badassery. Case in point: the Hound, who gives the speech of a lifetime to Sansa in “A Game of Thrones”.

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

Finally, we’re in the home stretch. From the peace of Brest-Litovsk to the Kaiserschlacht offensive to the breakdown of the Central Powers and the winding down of the war in the fall, we’re doing the whole picture.

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

In the next installment of our ongoing series, we talk about Bran’s Dream from AGOT, Bran III. It’s a testament to Martin’s abilities as a gardener as well as to our ability to constantly reinterpret the source text.

BLAM 177 | Kaiserreich: War 1917, with Jim McGeehin

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

We continue into the year 1917! This time, our focus is not on tactics, strategy, weapons and stuff but on the epochal events of the Russian Revolution and the American entry into the war.

BLAM 176 | Kaiserreich - War 1916, with Jim McGeehin

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

We’re continuing the story of World War I with the year 1916. The battles of Verdun and the Somme are the most famous, and we’re giving them the space they deserve, but the Romanian campaign, the Brusilov offensive and the Battle of Jutland also get their share. To top it off, we delve into the politics of the year, which may surprise you in how consequential they were.

2025/02/05

It was only a question of time until we hit one of the most profound and meaningful pieces of text in the whole ASOIAF corpus, but we did it! Sean and I talk Septon Meribald’s “broken men” speech. Follow us along hitting you over the head with deep in-text-analysis.

BLAH 174 | Who is the Knight of the Laughing Tree?

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

This is special episode. I have been challenged by Kienn Joiaf to defend my assertion that Lyanna Stark is the Knight of the Laughing Tree and to disprove their theory that in truth it is Eddard Stark. That theory is laid out here, but I will summarize it in the episode - and then take it apart. It’s not a kind thing to do that to a Podator, but we are rebels, so we rebel. Or something to that effect. Oh, and here’s the link to all Supreme Court of Westeros episodes.

BLAH 173 | Kaiserreich - War 1915, with Jim McGeehin

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

We’re continuing the story of World War I with the year 1915. From the massive loss of human lives in the big offensives, the Western stalemate and the breakthrough in the East, to technological innovations like aerial bombardment and poison gas to the political sphere, we have it all.

BLAH 172 | Kaiserreich - War 1914, with Jim McGeehin

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

We are finally here: World War I has broken out, and now it’s off to the military history. But not so fast! Before you think we’re down to discussing which caliber of gun is superior to which, let me assure you: we take the big view, and look at how politics and war intersect and why the war isn’t over by christmas, but rather evolving into something else entirely.

BLAH 171 | Lightning doesn't strike twice, with Sean...

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

Sean and I are on record being huge fans of the German series “Dark”. Their creators now published their follow-up work, “1899”, streaming on Netflix. However, lighting doesn’t strike twice, and the show doesn’t manage to live up to its predecessor. We analyze what went wrong and why it’s still worth the watch.

BLAH 170 | Back to the sources, with Mattea Barbagallo

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

Greek myths and medieval novels provide a rich tapestry of themes and inspiration that inspire literature for centuries now. Reason enough for us here at the Boiled Leather Audio Hour to go to that well and drink deep. I recruited Mattea Barbagallo for this, who expertly talks about Greek myth and medieval novels and how they pertain to our beloved saga.

BLAH 169 | Andor, Episode 12, with Sean T. Collins

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

The finale is out! We get a funeral, a rom-com between two fascists, a prison break, a child marriage, police shooting unarmed civilians, a terrorist, a failed assassination attempt and I’m sure I’m missing something else - but what does it matter, for all men must die, and I’ve seen Andor season 1! What a marvelous show.

BLAH 168 | All Quiet on Netflix, with Peter Doyle

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

I reviewed Netflix’ adaptation of “All Quiet on the Western Front” for the Patreon already, but now I want to do an in-depth-look with an expert and see whether my criticisms hold any merit. Aside from the new movie, we talk about the 1979 and 1930 adaptations, critically comparing them, “1917” and “At Journey’s End” and why World War I is so difficult an area for storytelling in general.

What is this? A review of Andor? Isn’t this supposed to be exclusive to the Boiled Leather Audio Moment? Yes, of course. But christmas is coming early! We’re publishing the last two episode reviews of this great show, because we assume everyone should be watching it right now. If you don’t, start right now. And pledge on the Momentalist level to listen to the full back catalogue of BLAM episodes, including all our episode reviews for this great show! Plus, this episode features the announcement of

BLAM 166 | Kaiserreich, July, with Jim McGeehin

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

It’s been a long time since episode 151, but after the gruelling regime of covering three shows (HotD, LOTRTROP and Andor) simultaneously for weeks on end, we need to get back to our regular, light-hearted fare. This week, Jim McGeehin and I am covering the July crisis, the beginning of World War I. The good thing is that this topic has almost no contemporary relevance whatsoever…ah, shit.

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

Not only did the Boiled Leather Audio Hour produce a roundtable about the finale, the regular episode with Sean T. Collin was produced as well! If my audio sounds a bit worse than usual, that’s because I had to record on a laptop. Sorry for that!

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

The first season has come to a close! Before you get to enjoy the final review that Sean and I do together, I have a special treat for you: a roundtable discussion coming live from the “City of Dragons”, Caceres, where the King’s Landing scenes are filmed and where I met up with Elio Garcia and Matteo Barbagallo to discuss what we saw!

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

The Green Council finally has arrived! People get murdered, smallfolk massacred, a king gets lost, factions betrayed, convictions challenged, all against the backdrop of incredibly sharp writing and great acting. Is there anything more you could want? We don’t think so!

BLAH 162 |House of the Dragon, episode 8, with Sean...

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour ·

2025/02/05

What’s more relaxing than a nice family dinner? Maybe a wedding at the Twins. In this episode, the showrunners manage to make a dinner into one of the most tense scenes on TV in months. This show continues to impress, and it’s incredible how much so.
