"A lot's going on there" - PJMoist von Lipwig is charged with resurrecting Ankh-Morpork's Post Office: a task that brings him into conflict with powerful men, the clacks, and his own a/morality. Belfast writers and UU students PJ Hart and Andy Luke gather at the depot to discuss Moist's motivations and mise-en-scene, Vetinari's tactics, the negative power of storytelling, the expanding Discworld, biting the horizon, old people getting married, enshittification, secret orders, and late stage capitalism.

"APPLE SAUCE!"

Two Belfast-based writers lap up Terry Pratchett's Hogfather (2006), adapted by Vadim Jean and The Mob for Sky TV. Andy delights in his first viewings with his best Death impersonations while PJ skilfully dissects it as a tutor in visual storytelling. We get into the set design, SFX, and a great led by Ian Richardson, Michelle Dockery, Marc Warren and David Jason. It's a pod-vod full of edutainment.

"Transgressive children's literature" - Andy

"That's your Carnegie Medal right there" - PJ

Andy and PJ both have their first go-around with this book, chasing after Maurice, Darktan and the clan to figure out the themes, the mysteries and how the Rat King would work as an X-Men villain.

Andy talks life as an owner of three dozen gerbils, and which of them have names inspired by Pratchett, and this book in particular. Take a look at the gerbils on the YouTube and Spotify video variants.

I've Never Read Discworld is written, hosted and produced by PJ Hart and Andrew Luke.

Terry Pratchett and Paul Kidby team up for an illustrated Discworld novel assembling some of Ankh-Morpork's largest characters. It's the first time for Andy and PJ exploring this book. Prose twists and lavish illustrations give us a rocketship powered by dragons, a madman with a nuclear device, all the gods, and events that will change the Discworld forever maybe.00:00 Introduction12:54 Part 1. "The last hero ought to return what the first hero stole."The Patrician assembles Ankh-Morpork's greatest minds - and Rincewind - to tackle the problem at Cori Celesti. Cohen has decided to blow up the gods and has kidnapped a bard to help.28:05 Part 2. Morituri Nolumus Mori ('We who are about to die but don't want to')Evil Harry and Vena the Raven-Haired join the quest. But each realise they have maps on scrolls, found in places they'd expect to be found. Death wrestles with Shrodinger's Cat. While priests and gods argue Carrot sews, Leonard mixes dragon food and Rincewind trains.47:16 Part 3. 'Ankh-Morpork, we have an orangutan...'With the privy assembled the crew of The Kite launch towards the circumference. Low supplies of air require a landing on the moon. The Horde climb the heights, pausing to consider heroism, ballads, The Tsortean knot and the taste of chicken (squid)58:27 Part 4. 'And you're the muse of swearing?'The Horde play dress up to enter Dunmanifestin where Fate challenges Cohen to a roll of the die. Rincewind flies The Kite but it comes more easily to The Librarian. Carrot tries an arrest. Mad Hamish's wheelchair makes a heroic sacrifice. Blind Io delivers his judgement. Cohen horse-jacks the valkyries and Leonard's painting causes a stir back in Ankh-Morpork.Listenings: https://pod.link/1645420990Watchings: https://youtube.com/@DiscworldGNUBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/discworldgnu.bsky.socialFacebook: https://facebook.com/discworldgnuAndy's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@UCZSWNQIJ5CNZuRH6XLPcm0w Andy's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/andylukeI've Never Read Discworld is written, hosted and produced by PJ Hart and Andrew Luke.*Our other Bigjobs*SPECIAL PLUGSAUDIOThe Divil’s Own: folklore pod doc https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001yhg4Last Dance: a Dark Fantasy audio drama podcast https://rustyquill.com/show/last-danceVIDEOSThe Gang Blackface Whitewash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNpq6zo1ozYCountry Rogues: comedy short film https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0022d39/comedy-shorts-series-1-2-country-roguesHelp - 360 VR Short Film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41T4Si5fPJsSociological Fiction (released 13 August) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr2MlQPnFSsBOOKSCoastlines After Dark https://books2read.com/coastlinesafterdarkAnother Time https://books2read.com/anothertime
