    Dining Table Discworld - Quadrant 2

    We look back on the last 10 Discworld novels, plus the first half of the series. Including discussion of how sometimes books need to hit you at the right time in your life, how Granny Weatherwax is like Superman, and why we have a clear least favourite. We also add much-needed context to our Maskerade episode since we have learned more.

    Dining Table Discworld - Hogfather

    Death is covering for a festive anthropomorphic personification, coming down the chimney with presents, a cushion up his robe and attempted jollity. Despite wanting to be normal, Susan investigates what's happened to the Hogfather and discovers something that'll set your teeth on edge. Meanwhile the wizards are finding unusual household spirits popping into existence. We discuss Christmas - er Hogswatch- traditions, cool mythic stuff, and how Pratchett masters both profound statements about humanity and dodgy puns.

With tangents about the British Civil Wars and the increasing number of food banks in the UK right now. We do discuss jokes and puns too.

    Death takes a holiday again, but this time it's compassionate leave. Susan makes a smaller mistake than her father did, but unlike him she was given basically no training.

    Dining Table Discworld - Men at Arms

    The Watch is growing, and they'll let anyone in nowadays. With Captain Vimes soon to retire and the more old school officers dubious about the new recruits the last thing the Night Watch needs is a high profile murder they absolutely are not supposed to investigate. We discuss policing, diversity, class consciousness and what counts as undead.
