  • Book 17. Interesting Times
    Jul 15 2024

    Two old infirm teachers who who have never read Interesting Times pack up their luggage and head for the Counterweight Continent. In a tale of cowardice and conquest Rincewind Redux comes under the spotlight and runs away from it quickly on a hunt for potatoes. The Silver Horde consider silverware. PJ shares his experiences living and working in Asia. Andy's hard line on avoiding spoilers pays off big time. And we talk all that boring political stuff that you, lets face it, tune in for, probably.

  • Book 15. Men at Arms
    Apr 15 2024

    Diversity. Gonne. Fireworks. Conscripted. Dartboard. Two working Northern Irish writers: Andy Luke, a newcomer to Ankh-Morpork, and PJ Hart, who knows his way round, and MEN AT ARMS, which sees a killer on the loose and massive changes to the Nights Watch. It's a heavy episode measuring Terry Pratchett's fun and innovation against the depths of policing reform, diversity hiring, wolves and identity politics, struggles against the gig economy and the DWP. So get ready to embrace dwarf culture, Leonardo Da Vinci's multitasking and remember, the I've Never Read Discworld podcast now accepts sponsorships from coffee companies.
