Dining Table Discworld - Men at Arms

Mar 25 2025 57 mins  
The Watch is growing, and they'll let anyone in nowadays. With Captain Vimes soon to retire and the more old school officers dubious about the new recruits the last thing the Night Watch needs is a high profile murder they absolutely are not supposed to investigate. We discuss policing, diversity, class consciousness and what counts as undead. You can find the Podcast on: Facebook:

The witches are back! Nanny Ogg - nice but also underhanded. Magrat - almost queen, but somehow still being unfairly treated like a silly girl.

With examples of How To Be and a variety of tangents along the way. No one expects the simultaneous inquisition. You can find the Podcast on: Facebook: www.facebook.com/DiningTableDiscwo

Dining Table Discworld - Reaper Man

Oct 27 2024 57 mins  
Only 2 things are inevitable, and even Death can't avoid the Revenoo. Like the religious community of Ankh-Morpork we find Mrs Cake somewhat problematic.

Dining Table Discworld - Quadrant 1 Review

Sep 28 2024 55 mins  
Having read 1/4 of Discworld we discuss our faves, what surprised us, some early themes and continuity.

Somehow Rincewind has returned... and this book reveals how. This romp through time and mythology showcases the illustrations of Josh Kirby. We go around on the theme of whether time is cyclical and tangent on Troy. We also ask our listeners to let us know what they want to hear and mention some other fine Discworld podcasts.

Dining Table Discworld - Guards! Guards!

Jun 22 2024 67 mins  
A book full of weird little guys and the too-relevant harnessing of small-minded resentfulness in the cause of a harmful power play. We discuss why Lady Sybil is great, the difference between a reign of terror and keyhole surgery of terror, and how the best employee perks are simply more money and more time off.
