Episode 10 of DiscWorld Order is out now as Patrick W Reed returns to discuss the sentimental & silly Reaper Man. Maybe the most balanced episode so far in terms of praise and criticism. Spotify bit.ly/4hZrCAr Amazon bit.ly/3QYJMXX

We're 25% of the way through the series, and this was a really enjoyable discussion. It's rare that we have an episode where we praise Pratchett's skills but also question if he wasn't brave enough with his choices.

Getting ready for the Witches Abroad episode, and it's the first of two Pratchett Books that I got signed. Do YOU have any signed Pratchett books? Any memories from a Terry Pratchett signing?

Until I listened to this I'd forgotten there even *was* a B-plot in Reaper Man. This ep really nails why it works as a Death book and why it's not quite as successful as anything else. Had a great time revisiting Bill Door and Miss Flitwick.

Episode 11 of DiscWorld Order is out now. I'm joined by Nic Golding as we discuss the 12th Discworld novel, Witches Abroad. A lovely chat about the Discworld from a newer fan’s perspective. 🟢 bit.ly/4lTKHqM 📦 bit.ly/3YllStN 🍎bit.ly/3YUd2Ds

A family member found some second hand Pratchett hardbacks, so I can replace books I loaned to other people. I also have a copy of Night Watch with a dust jacket, after losing the dust jacket for my copy years ago.

Episode 13 of Discworld Order is out now. Dermot Byrne joins Mark to talk about Lords and Ladies, Magrat's growth arc, Pratchett's best fight scenes to date, parallels & pebbles. 🟢 bit.ly/4etPjAv 📦 bit.ly/44HtSJ1 🍎 bit.ly/4lt4T1z

Lords and Ladies is a book I love with my soul. It's hard to summarise why it works so well, but this episode dives into everything from Pratchett's riff on Tolkien's Elves to the many lives of Granny Weatherwax and some very, very silly humour. Loved it.

So, one of my local antiques centres has a lot of second-hand books. It turns out that this includes almost an entire Discworld collection. I helped myself to 5 paperbacks just so that I can have every Josh Kirby cover for my collection to make it feel a bit more uniform.

In this month's episode, Luke Jansen returns to discuss Men at Arms. A book that goes from discussing prejudice and demagogues to jokes about inumerate polymaths and retrophrenology. Spotify bit.ly/4flEGjU Amazon amzn.to/3Ubz420 Apple bit.ly/4mKLUk3

It's new episode time! Dermot Byrne returns to talk about the 16th Discworld novel, Soul Music. We discuss dated references, groanworthy puns, and Pratchett’s takes on education. 🟢 bit.ly/4mHrhWh 📦bit.ly/3UTRTHb 🍎bit.ly/3I0vyVs

A really interesting chat, even if I have a different take on Soul Music. What sticks with me is how Pratchett describes the feeling of hearing and making music, the euphoria of a truly great gig, better than anyone - but this gets to the heart of some issues I readily forgave.
