Radio Morpork episodes

  • Small Gods - Nobody Expects the Omnian Quisition!
    Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Colm & Steve journey deep into the desert (of the mind) and re-emerge as literary prophets, rambling about theology and tortoises. Their discussion takes in the opposition between flexibility and certainty, the character development (and occasional strange turns) of Brutha and Vorbis, and a veritable holy war about how to rank the book.
    1 hr 50 min
  • Witches Abroad - Foreign Vacations & Fairytale Vocations
    Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Steve and Colm leap back into the Discworld and accompany the Lancre Witches as they on holiday to the New-Orleans-meets-Disneyland city of Genua. Their discussion includes fawning over the wonderful chemistry between the three central characters, the restrained and ambiguous way Pratchett depicts magic, and the strange treatment of the good-bad binary.
    1 hr 43 min
  • Reaper Man - Death Comes to Life
    Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Steve and Colm leap headlong into life, death and shopping centres! They reference Michael Bay, Bruce Springsteen, Doctor Who and Red Dwarf in their efforts to wax lyrical about the emotional and thematic highs (and occasional structural lows) of Reaper Man. This culminates in a lengthy debate as to where this book fits in our podcast's ultimately subjective... ahem, highly prestigious, ranking list.
    1 hr 58 min
  • Moving Pictures - Gone With De Syn
    Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses and analyses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Colm and Steve briefly transform from bibliophiles into kinephiles in honour of the clicks. They discuss the book's depiction of postmodern hyperreality, the notable Discworld debuts of Ridcully and Gaspode, and compare Holy Wood to Silicon Valley.

  • Eric - Faustian Hack
    Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses and analyses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Radio Morpork returns! Rose has sadly had to bow out, but Colm is joined by Steve (of our Mort episode fame) to discuss this Discworld oddity. They talk about the limitations of Rincewind as a protagonist, the machinations of Satanic bureaucracy and the continuing taming of Unseen University.
    1 hr 9 min
  • Guards! Guards! - Enter the Dragon (and the Coppers)
    Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Colm and Rose return from a long hiatus to discuss the first of the wildly popular City Watch series. Their rambling discussion takes in how ‘million to one’ odds are calculated, the possibility of Vetinari being a villian and what the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night has in common with modern Men’s Rights groups.
    1 hr 15 min
  • Pyramids - An Assassin's Creed
    Radio Morpork is a podcast which discusses and analyses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Colm and Rose are joined by Discworld newbie Aisling Lynch to discuss Pyramids. Therein are more Gormenghast references, Pratchett’s depiction of reluctant kings, Discworld prequels we’d like to see and possibly the most sympathetic and complex antagonist in the entire series.
    1 hr 13 min
  • Wyrd Sisters - The Lancrastian Play
    Radio Morpork is a podcast which discusses and analyses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Colm chats to Rose about her visit to the 2015 Irish Discworld Con before they dive headlong into an analysis of Wyrd Sisters. Their rambling discussion takes in the fluctuating size of Lancre, Pratchett’s use of ‘mad’ villains and the top 5 Discworld computer games they’d love to see made.
    1 hr 32 min
  • Sourcery - Apocralypse Now
    Radio Morpork is a podcast which discusses and analyses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time.
    Colm and Rose tackle the fifth book in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. Their rambling discussion takes in their reluctance about Rincewind’s reluctant hero act, a mixed bag of side characters and the top five Discworld apocalypses. Is Sourcery a step back for the Discworld, or a side track down the scenic route?
    1 hr 3 min
  • Mort - Death is a Family Business

    Rose and Colm discuss the 4th book in the Discworld Series, and they’ve brought along a friend to help! Steve Hill joins the hosts to talk about death (of course), love (of the young and uncertain variety) and a “quantum leap” in quality. Plus the Top 10 Anthropomorphic Personifications!
    1 hr 18 min
