Your mileage may vary on how long you can listen to me talk. I get it. But... Granny Weatherwax vs vampires! Pratchett vs fascism! Verence vs Big Aggie's brose! Mark vs editing this into shape!
Carpe Jugulum is dark, weird, creepy and hilarious. Hope we did it justice.
This month on Discworld Order, @SarahParkin1 returns to discuss Carpe Jugulum.
It's our longest episode as we chat about Granny Weatherwax, vampires, AND the Witches novels in general.

On paper, this looks like a major upgrade on having me as a guest, but I didn't hear Tchaikovsky make a single Jeffery de Visscher reference, so who wins really?
Jokes aside, it's a great episode that I know Mark was trying to put together for a while, so give it a listen.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the first Discworld podcast to mention Jeffrey de Visscher.
As always, it was great to chat with Mark and get to ramble on about Discworld.
@Iversen83 returns to discuss the 17th Discworld novel, Interesting Times.
We talk about updating the Rincewind formula, how comedy ages, Mustrum Ridcully’s flexibility, and Scottish footballers.

Interesting Times - Terry Pratchett
You'll be able to hear my thoughts on this one on an upcoming episode of @DiscWorldOrder
DiscWorldOrder retweeted
A really interesting chat, even if I have a different take on Soul Music. What sticks with me is how Pratchett describes the feeling of hearing and making music, the euphoria of a truly great gig, better than anyone - but this gets to the heart of some issues I readily forgave.
It's new episode time!
Dermot Byrne returns to talk about the 16th Discworld novel, Soul Music.
We discuss dated references, groanworthy puns, and Pratchett’s takes on education.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Terry Pratchett's final masterpiece, 'The Shepherd's Crown.' To honour this milestone, we're sharing these poignant reflections from Rob Wilkins.
""
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door.
But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown.
So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy.

Lords and Ladies is a book I love with my soul. It's hard to summarise why it works so well, but this episode dives into everything from Pratchett's riff on Tolkien's Elves to the many lives of Granny Weatherwax and some very, very silly humour. Loved it.
Episode 13 of Discworld Order is out now.
Dermot Byrne joins Mark to talk about Lords and Ladies,
Magrat's growth arc, Pratchett's best fight scenes to date, parallels & pebbles.

Until I listened to this I'd forgotten there even *was* a B-plot in Reaper Man. This ep really nails why it works as a Death book and why it's not quite as successful as anything else. Had a great time revisiting Bill Door and Miss Flitwick.
Episode 10 of DiscWorld Order is out now as Patrick W Reed returns to discuss the sentimental & silly Reaper Man. Maybe the most balanced episode so far in terms of praise and criticism.

This was very very good. One of Pratchett's most iconic novels given the thoughtful treatment it deserves.

This is a blast. @Iversen83 is having the time of his life chatting Pratchett and it's a lot of fun digging into Ankh-Morpork and the Life of Vimes.

I had so much fun deep diving on Wyrd Sisters. Shakespeare, storms, my new indie band Death and the Witches, and the endless, hilarious, infuriating complexity of Esme Weatherwax and Gytha Ogg.
And we still came in under 2 hours, so y'know, well done us.
