Episode Notes
We were so incredibly pleased to be joined by Gabrielle Kent and Rhianna Pratchett, the co-authors of this new book in the Discworld library. Tiffany's story is one of our favorites, and having both more Tiffany and more witch stuff is just the best.
Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being a Witch would make a great holiday present! We're not sure yet of a US release date, so consider buying it directly from The Discworld Emporium or Discworld.com (and if other things just sort of happen to fall into your shopping basket... well, blame the Feegles).
If you want to check out the Mythical Creatures series Rhianna mentioned, keep an eye on the BBC Radio Four site as well as BBC Sounds. It looks like it starts airing December 18!
Gabrielle Kent is the author of the Alfie Bloom and Knights and Bikes series. She collaborated on the Rani Reports series with her husband as Gabrielle and Satish Shewhorak.
Gabrielle lives in the North East of England. She grew up in the 1980’s drawing castles and dragons, reading comics, and playing videogames. In the summers, she ran wild with her brothers and cousins on her Granny’s farm in Galway. Her first job was as a video-game artist working on games for PC, Playstation and XBox. She spent sixteen years as a university lecturer teaching students how to make videogames, and ran and hosted various games and animation festivals along the way.
She has always loved exploring castles and in 2006 she visited Castle Coch in Wales. As she looked at a carving of The Fates over one of the fireplaces, an idea for a story crept into her head. When she got home she started typing the story of Alfie Bloom, the boy who inherited a castle and has written many more books since.
Rhianna Pratchett has been a professional writer for several years. Having written numerous features and columns on games, movies and books and originally cutting her journalistic teeth on PC Zone magazine and The Guardian newspaper, Rhianna moved into script writing and narrative design in 2002. In 2007 her work on Heavenly Sword was nominated for a BAFTA and a year later she won a Writers’ Guild of Great Britain ’Best Videogame Script’ award for Overlord.
Alongside writing for videogames, she has also authored the Tomb Raider: The Beginning comics with Dark Horse and the 6-part Mirror’s Edge miniseries with DC Comics and several of her own short stories.
Rhianna has contributed to various books on games narrative including Professional Techniques for Video Game Writing (Edited by: Wendy Despain) and Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames (Edited by: Chris Bateman). She also works with the IGDA Writers’ Special Interest Group, the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain and BAFTA Games to help improve games narrative and the lot of games writers everywhere.
Rhianna currently lives in London, with a couple of neurotic tabbies. True to British form, she drinks a lot of tea.

We pare down to the core group for one last trip across the Disc, and Ana and Aaron finally read The Shepherd's Crown. Project wrap-up content starts at around 51:30, although it does continue to include Shepherd's Crown content.
Thanks to our many guests, but especially to you, our listeners. We would have done it regardless, but we hope that we inspired you to read or re-read Sir Terry's works, and we hope that you thought about things from a new angle.
We're not done quite yet, so don't delete this feed. More surprises coming soon.
Mind how you go.
GNU Terry Pratchett.

Steam power comes to the Disc, whether or not the Disc is ready for it. This book, which lays track (ha ha) for many changes in and around Ankh-Morpork, unfortunately instead became a farewell to many beloved characters. We discuss the book, the implications of the railway system, and a little bit of our wishlist for what might have happened... if...
We are joined by RPG designer Jennifer Adcock, who is, among other things, the designer of the GMless game The Price of Coal. She can be found on twitter at @jenkatwrites. and elsewhere if you're lucky.
Additionally, if you're not ready to read The Shepherd's Crown yet, mind how you go.

According to the writer of the best selling crime novel ever to have been published in the city of Ankh-Morpork, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.
We are joined to discuss Snuff by Angry Staff Officer (either a nom de plume or nom de guerre, we're not sure which). Angry Staff Officer is an on-again, off-again angry staff officer, who made the odd jump from enlisted infantry to engineer officer and is now meandering the warrens of Army doctrine, one dog-eared page at a time. Most often focused on historical events, national security, and occasional rants on Army doctrine. He can be found being cynical and jaded at the Twitter handle @pptsapper and writing at Point of Decision, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. He is a proud member of the Military Writers Guild, winning the Military Writer’s Guild award for most active member in 2015. His other key accomplishments include an intimate knowledge of far too many gins to be healthy, and having once live-tweeted the entire Star Wars saga.

This is a story about football. This is not a story about football. It can be both.
We return to Ankh-Morpork for the coda to the Dwarf Cultural Revolution, the continuation of Vetinari's modernization efforts, and a deep exploration of prejudice and racism. And also some footie.
And we are deeply honored to be joined this month by Rob Wilkins. Rob Wilkins worked with Terry Pratchett for over twenty years, first as his assistant, and later business manager. He now manages the Pratchett estate and Terry's production company, Narrativia. He can be found on Twitter managing the account he and Terry shared @terryandrob, if he's not too busy promoting the works of Sir Terry in various media or overseeing the next season of Good Omens. And if you haven't picked up a copy of Terry Pratchett: A Life with Footnotes: The Official Biography, please do.

Wintersmith is the 35th book in the Discworld series, and the third in the Tiffany Aching arc. It is a story about growing up, taking responsibility for situations that are not (or not entirely) your fault, and witches. It is about what you do when no one is looking, and when everyone is looking. Most of all, it is a story about Tiffany Aching.
We are joined once again by Dr. Kat Day!
Kat Day is a PhD chemist who was once a teacher and is now a writer and editor. By day she mostly works as an editor and proofreader of scientific materials, with bits of article and book-writing thrown in. By night she… mostly does all the stuff she hasn’t managed to do during the day.
She is an assistant editor at PseudoPod and her fiction can be found at Daily Science Fiction, Cast of Wonders and PseudoPod, among others. You can follow her on Twitter at @chronicleflask, or check out her blogs, The Fiction Phial and The Chronicle Flask. She lives with her husband, two children and cat in Oxfordshire, England.

THUD is one of those books that sticks with you. There's a lot we love, and a few bits that we don't love so much. Most importantly, don't ever be late for story time.

Night Watch may be the pivotal Vimes book, but Going Postal is probably the pivotal Ankh-Morpork book--and the pivotal Vetinari book. It's a great read in terms of plot and writing, and it has a diamond-sharp message.
We're joined this month by friend of the show and game design hero Kevin Kulp!
Kevin Kulp (@kevinkulp) is the co-author of Swords of the Serpentine, GUMSHOE swords & sorcery out now in hardback and PDF from Pelgrane Press. Kevin’s previous game was the investigative time travel rpg TimeWatch. When he’s not writing games he’s either smoking BBQ or helping 24-hour companies with shiftwork, sleep, and alertness.

Almost exactly two years later, we stray far away from the Disc to the realms of the Emperor Undying, because Nona the Ninth came out and we couldn't NOT talk about it. We had (and mostly ignored) a planning document, so... uh... strap in. SO MANY SPOILERS. Also, as we are talking and swearing about books about queer space necromancers, if body horror ain't your thing, then please go prep for either Going Postal (tomorrow) or THUD (next month).
Here's the Harrow Party Bus Diagram
Here's the Spotify playlist made by Aly, which is only twice as long as this dang episode.
Guests!
Aly Grauer is a professional renaissance woman. A writer, actor, and cosplayer, she is also a voice over artist, and serves as audio producer for a number of podcasts, including Skyjacks: Courier’s Call, where she also performs the character June Hymnal.

Tiffany Aching, a 9 year old living on a sheep farm in the rolling grassy lowlands of the Disc, is not your ordinary child. However, we saw a lot of ourselves in her. This meditation on loss, childhood, and what it means to be someone who actually THINKS and LOOKS in a world full of people too busy just getting by is a beautiful, scary, and hilarious story written by, as our guest puts it, "possibly one of the greatest authors of the last thousand years".
Ursula Vernon, aka T. Kingfisher is the author and illustrator of far more projects than is probably healthy. She has written over fifteen books for children (many of which Aaron has read to his children multiple times with great enjoyment), at least a dozen novels for adults, an epic webcomic called “Digger” and various short stories and other odds and ends.
She has won Hugos, Mythopoeic, Locus, Sequoia, Nebula, Lodestar, Dragon, and numerous other awards, often repeatedly. She can be found at Red Wombat Studio, on twitter at @ursulav and probably more than a few other places.

Maurice is just a simple talking cat with big dreams--like perfecting his preferred con, the Pied Piper. His erstwhile companions, a stupid-looking kid and a clan of sapient rats in the middle of developing things like "ethics" and "society", are dragged along in his wake. When they get to the town of Bad Blintz, however, things go from Bad... to worse.

In this pivot point in the series, we're joined by the creator of Lego Ankh-Morpork to talk about old and new heroes, the changeover between Kirby and Kidby art (and which we like better), and the canon-but-also-kind-of-fan-fiction nature of The Last Hero.
"Poets have tried to describe Ankh-Morpork. They have failed. Perhaps it's the sheer zestful vitality of the place, or maybe it's just that a city with a million inhabitants and no sewers is rather robust for poets, who prefer daffodils (and no wonder).
I am no poet, or artist, or architect (I am probably more B.S. Johnson than Leonard of Quirm) but I decided to undertake the mammoth task of recreating the Discworld's greatest city, one Lego brick at a time. It started out very much as a personal project which has grown into something so much more.
The community on Twitter @LegoAnkhMorpork is growing every day and is the main place to join in discussions and view my latest Lego creations!"

We are joined by multiple award winning author Seanan McGuire to discuss the 26th novel in the Discworld series, Thief of Time. At the time of recording, three of the four of us were either currently sick or recently recovering from being sick with the 'rona, so this one's a little loopy. Bear with us! Also, there's a series of Information Hazards around 3/4 of the way through recording.
Editor's note: there's a moment I, Aaron, did not clock during the recording but heard during editing that made me have to walk away from my computer and have a good cry. I'll leave you to figure out where that was.
Seanan McGuire is the author of the October Daye urban fantasies, the InCryptid urban fantasies, and several other works both stand-alone and in trilogies or duologies. In case that wasn't enough, she also writes under the pseudonym "Mira Grant." For details on her work as Mira, check out MiraGrant.com. You can find her on twitter at @seananmcguire
