Ep. 19 Wyrd Sisters Animated Commentary
"When you break rules, break 'em good and hard…"
PJ and Andy plunge into Cosgrove Hall's 1997 adaptation of Wyrd Sisters and a simple filler episode becomes an experimental marathon. Rob Rackstraw Vs Christopher Lee: who will win? No, it's a serious question. Watch or listen with us as we talk animation, voice casting, the script, and how Les Dennis blew our minds with his surprise magnificence.

Book 15. Men at Arms
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.
