We wade into the Cosmere with Tress's Emerald Sea! It's not made from water, but green sand. It makes sense, somehow. Join us as Tress loses the boy she loves, plans a heist, meets a rat, climbs a vine, and gets pressed-ganged into piracy.

In 2 weeks: Tress part 2, chapters 17-33.

We wrap everything up for the Grace Year. We count the dead, add some to their number, learn the truth of Tierney's dreams, find out whether the dove survives, and wonder if Tierney does.

Our mid-ep schedule is a bit wonky because I think I misread it, but we'll be back with the Grace Year bonus (for the Patrons) on January 7th, and finally with part 1 of Tress of the Emerald Sea on the 14th. See you in 2025!

The weather warms and the sun's out. It's Spring! Tierney benefits from several deus ex machinas (latin plural needed) and stares at a naked man. The numbers come in, and they're pretty bad. It's a shorter one, folks.

Next time: The Grace Year Ends. Tierney becomes a tree (jk jk... unless?)

We've arrived at the Grace Year encampment, where there is no grace (presumably, not all the girls are named). There's a lot of bodies, creepiness, magic, and maggots. Yum yum yum. Also featuring: a boy and maybe less fun opium.

Audio Note: Markus's audio will be robotic at a couple tiny parts, because of wifi-related audio issues. It should go back to normal afterwards.

Join us in two weeks for the Grace Year part 3, where we dream of Tierney's Spring. She becomes a tree, spoilers.

We start our coverage of the Grace Year by Kim Liggett! We meet uh, Tierney and the super fucked up dystopia she lives. Join us as Tierney has a dream, communicates with her parents, watches a hanging, and receives a gift.

We covered the first half of Autumn today, so we'll be covering the remainder of Autumn and Winter for Part 2. See you in two weeks!

We reach the finale of Small Gods! We meet a newt god, watch Brutha die, and of course: a turtle flies.

Join us on Patreon next time for our Small Gods bonus episode, or back here in two weeks for the Grace Year part 1! We'll be covering half of Autumn, ending when they reach the encampment.

We continue or journey into Discworld by boat and enter into The Temptations of Brutha. Brutha wanders while Simony starts trying to make moves. Everyone here is definitely totally sane, and in the end we decide "It was time to do something about Omnia."

Next episode we finish out the book!

Bonus episodes and more available on Patreon.

We follow the continued adventures of Brutha and his one-eyed tortoise god, Om. Vorbis continues to be cartoonishly evil, Om makes a deal for Brutha's life, and Brutha meets the demonized Ephebians and their philosophers. Said demon philosophers spend surprising amounts of time being naked in the streets and drunkenly arguing with each other. Brutha questions a lot about how he was raised. The Omnians are bullied into signing a peace treaty - until they aren't. Vorbis enacts a long-developed plan to invade Ephebe from the desert, sacking the city. Also, we meet Death.

Next week: We cover the next 25% of Small Gods, ending on the line: "It was time to do something about Omnia."

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ponder the tortoise and the eagle with us as we glaze Prachett's humor and prose for a couple hours. We meet Brutha and his fierce god Om, who is a weak tortoise, the scary head of the Quisition Vorbis, and have a lie down over hoeing the melons.

Next week, the next 25%~ of the book! Our final line will be: "Then the darkness poured in."

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the finale of A Study in Drowning, we follow Effy as things get stormy and steamy, an ill-advised nap is taken, Ianto gets a phone call and makes some observations, Effy gets on her knees, we learn a lot about Angharad's author. Also, Effy attends a party, and talks to the dean.

Patrons can join us next week for A Study in Drowning bonus, where we cover the Preston bonus chapter and cast the characters both well and poorly. For the rest of you, join us in 2 weeks for the first episode of Small Gods by Terry Prachett!

We'll be covering 25% of Small Gods for episode 1. The endline of our last covered scene is: '"General Fri'it has other business," said Vorbis. "Most pressing and urgent business. Which only he can attend to."' If ending on the right line sounds stressful, just read to like 30% of the book and expect us not to cover all of what you read. That's fine.
