We four meet again to discuss the first 100 pages of 'Guards! Guards!', and it's good! We meet the sad, sad remains of the watch (and try to figure out if they're himbos)as well as morally neutral Lord Vetinari. We also talk about the Ankh-Morpork branch of the Freemasons. Did we mention something about ideology?

People say that polite conversation should stay away from politics, religion and cryptids... in which case call us uncivilised because that's all we talk about for the first 20 minutes. Eventually we do get on to the middle third of the book 'Guards! Guards!', in which dragons are still causing trouble, Vimes is realising he's in detective fiction and

We finished Guards Guards! So, obviously what you all wanted was for us to use this book as a jumping off point to talk about communism for like an hour, which is what we did. Topics include: rocket dragons, fried food, Kierkegaardian existentialism. Happy Glorious 25th of May!

We are going back to where it all began and read the first half of The Colour of Magic. Is this a good introduction to the Discworld series? How many times has Ankh-Morpork burned? And what's up with Death?

It's Part 1 of our reread of The Light Fantastic! We're putting on our intellectual hats this week and talking about relevant topics like Sapir-Whorf, post-modern interpretations of King Arthur, misuse of archaeological terms, and whether Rincewind and Twoflower are boning! We are making a list of famous people we hate, and it's all of them.
#8 – This Luggage Eats TERFS (The Light Fantastic Pt. 2)
George is away so we're free to get a bit.... raunchy this week. We talk about the end of The Light Fantastic, as well as (shockingly) a bunch of other things as well! We go in-depth on Doctor Who, Marvel, and other stuff that isn't niche but people pretend it is. This is a podcast about complaining, I'm not sorry.
#9 – The Colour of Tragic (The Colour of Magic Film Adaption)
Episode Notes
Hi guys, we're back and in conflict this week as we go into detail on what we thought of The Colour of Magic (2008). Our discussion involves acting choices, direction, adaption problems and what the fuck borage is.
#10 – Staffing Issues (Equal Rites Pt. 1)
Episode Notes
Today we're reading Equal Rites, and boy does it have themes! We go into some vague critical theory as we discuss what Terry may have intended to be about gender equality but sure feels like is about the concept of gender itself!
#11 – Granny WILFerwax (Equal Rites Pt.2)
Episode Notes
Hey! It's part 2 of 'Equal Rites' and I guess Terry got bored of talking about gender because this book is about string theory or something now?? I don't know! We go over what worked and what didn't in the second half of this book, do some Goodreads digging and once
