Jen Sugden, co-writer of the podcast Victoriocity and Wodehouse award nominated novel High Vaultage, joins us to discuss the 18th Discworld novel, Maskerade.

We talk about adapting from scripted comedy to novels, crafting jokes, Cultural Osmosis, exclamation marks, bathos, Pratchett's publishing potshots, the challenges of fan favourites, funny villains and the complicated depiction of Agnes Nitt.
