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!

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

BAAAAAA! It's DISC COVERERS time again, discettes and discerati, and this time we're covering THE WEE FREE MEN, the first book in Sir T to the P's Tiffany Aching subseries of young adult novels! Will we find stuff to be gay and nasty about in this idyllic ramble through a pastoral countryside? Are the Nac Mac Feegle an offensive cultural stereotype? Why don't I have a pair of cool lightning dogs? I gotta get a pair of super cool lightning dogs. It's frankly ridiculous that I don't have them already.

Did you miss us?? Back from the Summer of Surgery, DISC COVERERS presents a very special episode: for the first time ever, all four of us are recording face to face! And we're covering the book people have been asking us about since we started the show, NIGHT WATCH! Sam Vimes has come unstuck in time, and now he's trying to prevent a massive criminal paradox in order to get BACK... to the FUTURE. What does it mean to be a "good" cop? What did Terry think it meant? What do we think it means? This is a heavy one, but don't worry, we also crack a lot of dipshit jokes as per usual. Enjoy!

Squeakings and salutations, discettes and discinos! On this episode of DISC COVERERS, we're exploring Terry's first venture into young adult fiction: 2001's THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS. We're admittedly less familiar with the YA end of Discworld, so this book's nuanced themes and dark subject matter took us by total (positive!) surprise. What does it mean to be a true "person"? Are we ultimately defined by our base survival instincts, or our struggle to become something more? Most importantly, why aren't there more books about tiny-size animal societies living in a people-size world? I NEED more rat content, NOW!!!

DISC COVERERS is back, and it's time we took this podcast to the last place in Discworld untouched by capitalism... SPACE! On this episode we cover THE LAST HERO, a short novella about elderly barbarians and wizard hijinks that mostly exists as an excuse for Paul Kidby to paint some really phenomenal illustrations. If you were a kind of swamp dragon, what kind of swamp dragon would you be? Is Cohen anyone's favorite Discworld character to read about? Do you think Hex could, with enough subtle and tactful suggestion, crack Ponder Stibbons's egg? (We do.) It's time to say bon voyage to the wacky thwacky old-school road trip Discworld story template, but don't worry-- like an ingrown toenail, Rincewind will one day return...

TICK TOCK, DISCERATI... It's DISC COVERERS time again, and on this episode we're covering 2001's THIEF OF TIME! The Auditors are back on their bullshit again. They want to shatter time itself, and one of their number walks among the humans of the disc in mortal form. Only veteran History Monk sweeper Lu-Tze and his peculiarly gifted sidekick Lobsang-- plus special returning gal we love to see, Susan Sto Helit-- can avert this reality-shredding catastrophe! Is this the least Discworld-like Discworld book? (Maybe!) Are all the kung fu moves and time slicing shenanigans in this book a result of The Matrix being really popular around the time it was published? (Probably!) Most importantly, WHY isn't there more fanfiction and art that pair up Susan and Unity? (I DON'T KNOW AND THEY'RE THE ONLY OTP THAT MATTERS TO ME NOW. IF YOU MAKE SOME, SEND IT TO US.) It's about TIME you started listening!

Extra, extra! Read all about it! DISC COVERERS returns for another enthralling episode, and this time we're covering THE TRUTH, Sir T of P's jaunt through journalism. In a world where free speech is an urban legend and accountability for the aristocracy is a joke, what drives someone to start reporting news? Who, exactly, are news publications for, anyway? Is there a difference between not being a bad person and being a good one? All this discussed, PLUS an extended tangent on the intense polyamory potential of William, Saccharissa, and Otto.
