Radio Morpork

A podcast on Terry Pratchett's Discworld Series. Working our way through the Disc at the rate of a book every month, discussing and ranking 'em along the way.

Hey folks, I've been away from Twitter for a while and have only just seen there's problems accessing our older episodes. I'll get to work trying to fix it and keep yiz posted. Sorry for any confusion caused.

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

Nipping back onto Twitter to mention two things:

1) Steve put our back catalogue up on Spotify, so if that's your buzz, listen gleefully away.

2) Dublin's Culture Night is this Friday & Rose alerted me to this intriguing online event:

Now, away I go!

@Guardiamo1Film Through a combination of Google Translate & my brother's somewhat rusty command of Italian, I was able to read this. Grazie mille! / Thanks a lot!/ Go raibh mile maith agat!

I've belatedly inherited some autographed Discworld books from my uncle, a veteran of Pratchett signings and Q&As.

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

Right, I think I fixed the feed issue. I think. I just downloaded some older episodes from Podcast Addict without any problems, but please let me know if anything is still amiss!

@hey_sijia It's an issue with the Soundcloud feed. I'll try to sort it out.

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

@angietomasc Soundcloud feed is acting up. I'm trying to sort it. Will keep you posted.

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

@Ghop56 Some trouble with Soundcloud. Trying to get it sorted. Will keep you posted.

@jympton @colken16 We probably are wrong, in fairness ;) I'd certainly have Small Gods higher in our rankings. Monstrous Regiment in the top 10 is a brave choice, Col, & while I don't agree, I applaud your brio. Mort jumps out at me too. I love it to bits, but the cop out ending irks me no end.

🤍🖤 #GoodOmens is returning for Season 2 on @PrimeVideo

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

Bloody wonderful. If you've read The Magic of Terry Pratchett, you know Marc deserves this. If you haven't... what are you waiting for!??

GUYS I WON. I WON! #locusawards

@DIDiscworld It's a funny thing, cause it was one that we had a few issues with when we covered it, but when I think of it now, it's the hits that come to mind. And boy oh boy are there hits: what Vimes' wages go on, Detritus & Cuddy, Vetinari vulnerable, Edward obsessing & Carrot, a good man

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

@Nonsense_Outlet First thing on the snag list is getting rid of that weird fella in the blue who's loitering outside yer gaff.

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

@DIDiscworld "Can the brave Sheriff of Nottingham bring Robin Hood to heel or will the thieving brigand continue to evade justice?"

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

@lcalablaster I regret nothing!

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

& so we come to the end, friends. Herein, I compare Pratchett to Joyce (Happy Bloomsday!), Steve's forgetfulness manifests in a cutting jibe against the book's villain (take that, PeaseBOTTOM!), & Rose rails against us for ranking Thief of Time so low.

@Ghop56 I'm in two minds. There's certainly some acilliary stuff worth exploring, but with some of the others, I'm not sure whether there'd be enough material for a good episode. Whatever we do, I want to be disciplined about it (a fool's hope, I know)

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

@lcalablaster Cheers Steven! I'm just glad we could contribute to the Discworld conversation. I've really appreciated your questions & comments along the way.

(And frankly, I have my disputes with our rankings too 😉 )

[Radio Morpork @RadioMorpork]

It's taken us just under 6 years to get through all 41 Discworld books... which makes our initial schedule look all the more dementedly optimistic in hindsight. tCoM Aug 10, tLF Aug 18, ER Sept 6, Mort Sept 15. What was I thinking???
