Show Notes

The second installment of our Remedial Read-along series has arrived. Did you do your homework? The Anhk-Morpork Night Watch hope you have! Well, maybe just Corporal Carrot. Talking points: allegories of the inhuman and inhumane in fantasy; how to tell when a throne isn't real gold; when is a weapon more than a weapon; can triggers ever pull themselves; unequal treatment under local law enforcement; how are we supposed to handle it when Terry gets too real; and, hey, what the heck was that dog subplot?
