Description

In this episode I explore this work by the late, great Terry Pratchett. It is a book full of the usual fun and mischief of Pratchett, and he focuses his sights on Religion and Philosophy. As with the best of his books, Pratchett has a 'punt' at Religion and Philosophy but leaves us with a respectful wondering at what it means to be human.
