Show Notes

Hail and well met, citizens of Ankh-Morpork! We've reached the third installment of our Remedial Readalong series, and if you thought our good buddy Terry had run out of punches to pull, well...if you've done the reading you know how wrong you were. Join us as we journey back to the city full of turmoil, intrigue, existential crisis, and buddy cop comedy! Talking points: We're so messed up about this book, you could make a drinking game out of it; Uncle Terry piling on the facets of cultural and self-inflicted oppression; what, if anything, puts the artificial in artificial intelligence; how terrifying it is to be free; what it means to be constructed and not born; dwarven gender expression in the workplace; we can't get over that there's a vampire named Dragon; and, hey, who decides when a person is a person?
