Dermot Byrne joins Mark to discuss the 14th Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies.

We talk about Granny Weatherwax's trust, Magrat's story arc, Nanny Ogg maximising her minutes, parallels (lots and lots of parallels), Pratchetts love of blacksmiths, the ridiculously deep supporting cast, deep call backs, Pratchetts take on elves and which character gets Pratchett's best fight scenes so far.

Please note that there may be some spoilers for future Discworld novels (mostly Maskerade & Carpe Jugulum) AND Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time.
