Look, we didn't really have much of a plan for this, and it's pretty chaotic--and even after three hours of recording we only managed to cover around half of what we could have talked about. Seriously, though, if you haven't read the books, these episodes could spoil a lot for you. Also, as we are talking and swearing about books about lesbian space necromancers, if body horror ain't your thing, go read Moving Pictures and wait for the next regular episode. The thread that started it all Alyson Grauer can be found at @dreamstobecome and is an actor, author of SF, F, and speculative fiction, a dialect coach available for hire, a podcaster and voice actor (June Hymnal on the all-ages fantasy podcast Skyjacks: Courier’s Call and Aaron's daughter's favorite), and the ‘Whimsy’ of Whimsy & Artifice, creators of Warda and the Patreon exclusive “Worldforging” podcast. Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude and is the cohost of Athrabeth and Garbage of the Five Rings. He is also one of Aaron's oldest friends.

Time for some loving dunking of each other and then some less-loving dunking on certain religious zealots and houses reliant on child soldiers.

Almost exactly two years later, we stray far away from the Disc to the realms of the Emperor Undying, because Nona the Ninth came out and we couldn't NOT talk about it. We had (and mostly ignored) a planning document, so... uh... strap in. SO MANY SPOILERS. Also, as we are talking and swearing about books about queer space necromancers, if body horror ain't your thing, then please go prep for either Going Postal (tomorrow) or THUD (next month).Here's the Harrow Party Bus DiagramHere's the Spotify playlist made by Aly, which is only twice as long as this dang episode.Guests!Aly Grauer is a professional renaissance woman.

This episode was our first outing, and just like the book, it's rough around the edges and wanders a bit. But that's ok, because there's a lot of great stuff in Colour that sometimes was even a delightful rediscovery for the veterans of the group.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenHunterWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.

Equal Rites is, to the more experienced readers, much closer to what we associate with Discworld novels. It's got a core argument and some characters we dearly love, it Says Something, it hides worldbuilding behind plot, and aside from some kinda rough edges it's a pretty decent book.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenHunterWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.

Just putting it out there--Mort is a good book.

Sourcery marks the first book with some disagreement among our hosts, but what would life be without some healthy, well-mannered debate? Strengths include solid lore-building regarding the wizards, including why they’re forbidden from boning down, and more of Terry’s musings on identity. Weaknesses include coherence as an overall novel and some uncomfortable orientalism.

Wyrd Sisters is a great entry point book for Discworld. It's stacked to the rafters with solid female characters, it's the point at which Terry's exploration of witch magic gets really good, and it's a really fun read to boot. Plus there's a major cameo that killed us dead.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenHunterWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.

We're so happy to have had Amr as our first guest host... and so very sorry this was their first Discworld book. What was probably somewhat funny pop cultural references in 1990 turn out to be surprisingly offensive Orientalism in 2020. This may be one where we don't really recommend you read this, at least not early on in Discworld.Amr Ammourazz (@ammourazz) is a game designer, podcaster, and all around nerd. You can hear them rambling about math on twitter, as a player on the Play/Test podcast, or find their game design on itch.io and a variety of other projects.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenHunterWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.

Arguably the most famous of the Discworld plot threads, the Guards novels start with this story. Destiny, Dragons, Politics, Gender Roles and Subversions Thereof, and at least a few of Sam's ruminations on inequality and power. If Death is Sir Terry's authorial self-insert, Sam Vimes is Sir Terry's moral self-insert. If you love noir, urban fantasy, high fantasy, cults, or surprisingly relevant political satire, you will find something to like in this book. Just don't ask for your figgin to be toasted.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenHunterWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.

Weeelllll this book's problematic section isn't quite as long as Pyramids but there's a Mesoamerican parody that stuck out like a sore thumb. This book wants to be a few different things and doesn't quite do any of them--it's mostly "bad things happen near Rincewind" and historical/literary jokes. No invisible dragons, despite already being Discworld canon, and no Pope-bothering. On the plus side, there is a high percentage of the book taken up by the Luggage being a good good boy.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenwritesWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chanceFuzzball Parade by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5044-fuzzball-paradeLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Death has developed a personality, and to the auditors of reality, this is a problem. Forced into retirement, he finds himself, along with his trusty steed Binky, wandering into a small farming village. There, he is hired as a farmhand by an older lady living alone by the name of Miss Flitworth and takes on the name Bill Door. Romance, chaos, a fight with a farm implement, and a parasitic mall ensue.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenwritesWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chanceFuzzball Parade by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5044-fuzzball-paradeLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
