    Dining Table Discworld - The Last Continent

    In a book described by its creator as "a bit Australian" Rincewind travels erratically through a dry, red continent. He meets a lot of people mostly trying to avoid being a saviour, aided and pursued by a shape-shifter that's usually a kangaroo. Ponder Stibbons despairs of the older wizards when the Faculty gets stuck on a mysterious island in the distant past.   We discuss our own limited knowledge of Australia, why we prefer the wizards a bit more diluted and how the UU functions as a container for folk better kept away from everyone else.   You can find the Podcast on: Facebook: www.facebook.com/DiningTableDiscworld BlueSky: dtdiscworld.bsky.social E-Mail: diningtablediscworld@gmail.com Our intro and outro music is Beyond Infinity by user BlenderTimer on Pixabay.

    Dining Table Discworld - Jingo

    Suddenly Ankh-Morpork is keen to go to war, which is bad news for those trying to keep the peace. Vimes chases a suspect out of his element and learns something about big crimes and little crimes. Meanwhile, on special assignment, Nobby gets in touch with his feminine side, and Colon hopefully learns something. We discuss how this book is instructive for white kids from the English countryside, how sadly it keeps being relevant, and whether you can even have jingoism without an empire.

    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.

    There's yet another royal conspiracy in Ankh-Morpork and Vimes is desperately trying to figure out where the arsenic is coming from. Meanwhile a competent, new Watch officer is breaking new ground both personally and professionally. Plus the city's golems are up to something. 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.
