Disc Coverers36: Making MoneyMoney money MONEYYYY!!! The lovely, horrible stuff! This episode, we intrepid DISC COVERERS explore MAKING MONEY, the direct follow-up to our #2 book GOING POSTAL and the first entry in what we're tactfully calling "the Encore Era". What's our boy Moist von Lipwig been up to this whole time? Why isn't Spike in more of this book? Do we really need more than one Lord Vetinari? Most importantly, in a book that's fundamentally about the inner machinations of high finance, why does this book seem excited to talk about literally anything other than high finance? Laugh hard, dear discettes and...

Disc Coverers35: WintersmithThe frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn, disceroonies! On today's episode of DISC COVERERS, we're covering WINTERSMITH, the third Tiffany Aching book from 2006. Tiff is coming into her own as a witch, but like any teenage work study program, she's dealing with her share of issues-- obtuse supervisors, difficult coworkers, absurd workloads, and, of course, boy problems. Will she be able to save the Chalk, and the WORLD, from being frozen by a snowman with boundary issues? Also the Nac Mac Feegles are here. For some reason. LET'S GO!!!! CURRENT RANKING: 1...

Disc CoverersBONUS: "Going Postal", The Miniseries [ft. Kel McDonald]A little treat for you this week, discerati! Friend of the pod Kel McDonald joins us as we watch through the two-part Sky TV adaptation of GOING POSTAL! This bold reimagining cuts the original book's breathless enthusiasm for the telecommunications industry and burning hatred of the moneymen who strangle it, and replaces those themes with, uh... let's see here... *squints really hard at notes* "...Stealing is bad and so are technology and smoking." Cool! The Wintersmith ep is coming very soon-- in the meantime, curl up with a cherished friend, lover, animate clay automaton or wet nosferatu, and enjoy...

In the first interview episode of TQ2, Sarah talks to cartoonist Iris Jay about transgender surgeries, everything that goes into them, and what ultimately comes out. We also answer a listener question about whether you should come out at work! Be aware that this is an adult conversation that gets into some pretty gross nitty-gritty, so maybe don't listen to this one over a meal. Unless you're into that!

Is the concept of "mean girls" an omniversal constant, like gravity or hubcaps rolling out of vehicular collisions? When you turn someone into a frog, where's all the extra meat go?

On this episode of DISC COVERERS, we're exploring Terry's first venture into young adult fiction: 2001's THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS. We're admittedly less familiar with the YA end of Discworld, so this book's nuanced themes and dark subject matter took us by total (positive!) surprise. What does it mean to be a true "person"? Are we ultimately defined by our base survival instincts, or our struggle to become something more? Most importantly, why aren't there more books about tiny-size animal societies living in a people-size world? I NEED more rat...

Disc Coverers22: The Last ContinentG'DAY, MATES! Disc Coverers is BACK, and on today's episode we're reviewing the last (sort of) and best (technically) Rincewind novel, THE LAST CONTINENT! This book is aggressively just fine-- it's not blindingly offensive like the last Rincewind book, but it also doesn't have a ton of Incredible Sociopolitical Commentary or anything in it, so we spent most of this ep kicking back and talking about jokes we liked. Come for the furries (and you know I do, dear listeners), but stay for June's podcast-within-a-podcast queer cinema review of the film "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"!

If Terry had just released this one before Hogfather, or if the "Science Of" books and short stories were included in the Official Discworld Reading List, maybe we could've avoided this.

Someone has killed the spirit of Hogswatch, and it's up to Death to fill in-- and up to his granddaughter Susan to figure out what the hell is going on. What is the true benchmark of sentience, and is it really up to us to decide with our limited human perspectives?

What is Transgender Day of Remembrance?
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester's death, and began an important tradition that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Unfortunately, this gets buried behind pointless characters, dangling plot threads, and a really, really ill-conceived visit to the half-baked orientalist Seriphate of Klatch.

2021-02-011h 46Disc Coverers02a: The Light Fantastic (Part 1)Our second episode and first of the year! Analyzing The Light Fantastic ended up taking longer than we expected, so we split this episode into two parts, the second of which we'll upload two weeks from now. IN PART ONE: Does Rincewind suck any less in this book? How practical ARE harmonically tuned squeaky floorboards? Do druids have tech support for their megaliths? And did Sir Terry manage to get An Actual Woman to read this manuscript?

2021-01-111h 23Disc Coverers01: The Colour Of MagicOur first episode! Aaaaa!!! We get a little jazzed and end up digging into our talking points before we summarize the plot, instead of after, so get ready for that. Does Terr-bear's first Discworld book deserve the bad rap that it gets? Does Rincewind suck, or is he secretly cool? Which jokes still hold up, and which were definitely, painfully written in the early 1980's? Why is Death acting so weird? And for the love of A'Tuin, why does the Luggage have meaty little human feet? (I STILL HATE THAT IT HAS HUMAN FEET.)

Woman1-10. Bouquet of LifeBouquet of Life
The birth of my first child, then second, then three.
Are the happiest memories, that flow out of me.
Ever brightening hues, never duller, always fuller.
Moments shared in explosions of colour.
Our families together, memories laid.
Bouquets of colour, happy parades.
The red of the rose, the Iris blue,
The water lily proud, always floating true.
Meeting my love, with a bright coloured bouquet,
Is a memory that remains, and forever it will stay.

Natural Solutions with Dr. JayNSDJ-72 Barry Kibrick Interview
I have the great honor to interview Barry Kibrick who I saw on a PBS Sunday Morning program June 7, 2020. He had 2 back-to-back armchair talks that caught my attention and inspired me. He and his content
reminded me of the great Alan Watts radio lectures I used to hear on KPFA when I first arrived in California in 1983. When I first contacted him about this interview, he noted that Alan Watts and Richard Feynman had inspired him for his own productions.
In this “made for your car commute” short interview, we scratch the surface of some deep...

The Kathryn Zox Show“Iris Has Free Time: A Novel” by Iris SmylesKathryn interviews award-winning author Iris Smyles on her latest book “Iris Has Free Time: A Novel”. In the tradition of Elane Dundy's Jay Gorce, Kingsly Amis' Lucky Hime, and Truman Capote's Holly Golightly, Iris is a new anti-heroine, a bracingly unique voice treating age-old subjects of love, sex, work and identity with a freshness and originality that will startle and charm. From quarter-life crisis to the shock of turning thirty, Iris Has Free Time charts a madcap, melancholic course through that curious age-one's twenties-when childhood is over, supposedly. She was awarded The Doris Lippman Prize for fiction and The Geraldine Grof...
