  • The Grace Year Part 2
    Nov 26 2024
    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. Bonus Episodes and more available on Patreon

  • Small Gods Part 3
    Oct 15 2024

    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."

  • Small Gods Part 2
    Oct 1 2024

    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."

  • Small Gods Part 1
    Sep 17 2024

    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."

  • A Study in Drowning Part 4
    Sep 3 2024

    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.

  • A Study in Drowning Part 3
    Aug 22 2024

    If you listened to this episode the day it came out, there was an audio gaffe from 5:50 to 6:20 in the original cut. It has since been fixed. Sorry bout that.


    A storm's truly a brewin' in A Study in Drowning. Preston and Effy find some naughty pictures, talk about their traumas, go on a road trip, commit grand theft clothing, and Effy has a crisis of faith.


    (Markus was out of his house when recording this so his audio sounds like he's in a bathroom)


    Next week: The End


    We also announce our next book! Hoooooo boy let's get SMALL
