    37: Unseen Academicals

    SPORTS!!!! That's right, we're touching SO much grass and fondling SO many balls as we, the DISC COVERERS, cover Terry's longest and possibly most British book yet: UNSEEN ACADEMICALS! Join us as we untangle exactly what makes football culture so appealing, as filtered thorugh the lens of the Guys We Love To See, the Unseen University faculty wizards. Can you change the world by kicking a ball really, really good? Are gay jokes okay if the straight person writing them thinks the gay character in question is actually really cool? How DID Glenda get those pies so perfect in a pre-refrigeration society? Pull on your cleats and show some hustle, because we're about to kick off!CURRENT RANKING: 1. Night Watch2. Going Postal3.

    36: Making Money

    Money money MONEYYYY!!! The lovely, horrible stuff! This episode, we intrepid DISC COVERERS explore MAKING MONEY, the direct follow-up to our #2 book GOING POSTAL and the first entry in what we're tactfully calling "the Encore Era". What's our boy Moist von Lipwig been up to this whole time? Why isn't Spike in more of this book? Do we really need more than one Lord Vetinari? Most importantly, in a book that's fundamentally about the inner machinations of high finance, why does this book seem excited to talk about literally anything other than high finance? Laugh hard, dear discettes and discinos, 'cause it's a long way to the bank...(Note: Audio quality is a little hinky on this episode due to some issues on my end, but it should still be perfectly listenable. Thanks for your patience, and keep on discin'! -Iris)CURRENT RANKING: 1. Night Watch2. Going Postal3. Monstrous Regiment4. Feet Of Clay5. The Truth6. Thud!7.

    35: Wintersmith

    The frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn, disceroonies! On today's episode of DISC COVERERS, we're covering WINTERSMITH, the third Tiffany Aching book from 2006. Tiff is coming into her own as a witch, but like any teenage work study program, she's dealing with her share of issues-- obtuse supervisors, difficult coworkers, absurd workloads, and, of course, boy problems. Will she be able to save the Chalk, and the WORLD, from being frozen by a snowman with boundary issues? Also the Nac Mac Feegles are here. For some reason. LET'S GO!!!! CURRENT RANKING: 1.

    BONUS: "Going Postal", The Miniseries [ft. Kel McDonald]

    A little treat for you this week, discerati! Friend of the pod Kel McDonald joins us as we watch through the two-part Sky TV adaptation of GOING POSTAL! This bold reimagining cuts the original book's breathless enthusiasm for the telecommunications industry and burning hatred of the moneymen who strangle it, and replaces those themes with, uh... let's see here... *squints really hard at notes* "...Stealing is bad and so are technology and smoking." Cool! The Wintersmith ep is coming very soon-- in the meantime, curl up with a cherished friend, lover, animate clay automaton or wet nosferatu, and enjoy this easy, breezy bonus episode.

    34: Thud!

    DISC COVERERS rides again, discii maximii! This episode, we're covering THUD!, another Watch-centric book where our boy Sam has to face down festering racial tensions, political turmoil and fatherhood with the strongest, stiffest "oi wot's all this then" he can possibly muster. What do monster girls do on their nights out? Can gamers truly change the face of history? Will ANY of our hosts be able to avoid pronouncing "Koom Valley" the wrong way?

    33: Going Postal

    MAIL CALL!!!! Welcome back to DISC COVERERS, dearest discettes! This episode is one I KNOW a lot of you have been waiting for: we're covering GOING POSTAL, the first book starring fandom babygirl Moist von Lipwig and a towering polemic against the privatization of the telecommunications grid. From stamp collecting to civil infrastructure to the finest of vintage hacker jokes, this book is jam-packed with goodies for the most hyper turbo of nerds, and friend, if you're thirty-three episodes deep into a Discworld review podcast, chances are high you're one of those nerds. Neither snow nor rain nor glo(o)m of ni(gh)t will keep us from hooting and hollering about this one! CURRENT RANKING: 1. Night Watch2. Going Postal3. Monstrous Regiment4. Feet Of Clay5. The Truth6.

    32: A Hat Full Of Sky

    HELLOOOOOO, discettes and discerati! Our latest episode of DISC COVERERS is all about A HAT FULL OF SKY, the second novel in the Tiffany Aching YA series and the deepest look we've gotten yet into the interpersonal lives and careers of witches. Is the concept of "mean girls" an omniversal constant, like gravity or hubcaps rolling out of vehicular collisions? When you turn someone into a frog, where's all the extra meat go? And do you think Ms. Level ever... y'know... with herself? (She must've, right? Shemust have. I know it's the first thing I'd try.) Just click play and let's get gay!CURRENT RANKING: 1. Night Watch2.

    31: Monstrous Regiment

    This is the episode a lot of you gender criminals have been waiting for: on this installment of DISC COVERERS, we're covering MONSTROUS REGIMENT! Special guest MOSS aka "BEATINGTHEBINARY" joins us on a no-expenses-paid trip to tiny, war-torn Borogravia, where we follow and dissect the worst gal pal road trip on the history of the Disc. What geopolitical conflict was Terry thinking about when he wrote this in 2003? Does gender equality within the armed forces really count as a civil victory, or is it just an excuse to recruit more warm bodies? Most importantly, WHY does this book alone account for and OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE slice of Discworld fanfiction? (Hint: it's the lesbians, Harold!) All this covered, PLUS our own extremely objective and empirical headcanons for what each member of the regiment's gender is! You don't wanna skip this one, trust me CURRENT RANKING: 1.
