The Compleat Discography

Purple background, white text, which says Who's the best dad in the Discworld? Can villains be great dads? Bedtime Stories & Bony Knees: Discworld Dads -- Tansy Rayner Roberts

Today is Father's Day in Australia, so hey! even if (like me) you don't much care, have a listicle from @tansyrr.bsky.social about the dads of the Discworld...

(I'm currently re-reading Soul Music, so I have Thoughts.)

Our entire show had two goals: have @justen.babylonpod.page as our new reader proxy, and to force @aaron.compleatdiscography.page to finally read The Shepherd’s Crown. We are so glad we did both things.

It’s the Glorious 25th of May and we’re exploring gender on the Disc! You can even watch us in all our glory here: youtu.be/OXJYfghjUDA?...

Most importantly, if you want to join us in donating to the Good Law Project’s trans rights fundraiser, you can do so here: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Gosh it sneaks up on you every time.

Monstrous Regiment (Signed 1st edition) Auction item 'Monstrous Regiment (Signed 1st edition)' hosted online at 32auctions.

THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why it’s a pertinent one for this cause. (More pics to come.)

S2E2 - Footnotes 2: Nation # Episode Notes We're back! Aaron has been begging the crew for literal years to read _Nation_, and here we finally are. It is a complex book full of meditations on death, spirituality, the role...

In our intermittent and confusing post-compleation schedule, we’re happy to present a discussion of Nation by Terry Pratchett. This is one of @aaron.compleatdiscography.page ‘s favorite books of all time and we hope you enjoy it too. compleatdiscography.page/episode/9994...

Porting across some of my fave tweet threads. Starting with this piece of wonderful Pratchett trivia!

Discworld fans, like myself, probably know the real trade of the Seamstresses in Ankh-Morpork, but do you know where the term comes from?

GNU Terry Pratchett. #Speakhisname

#GNU Sir Terry Pratchett

Recording something this weekend. It’ll be here and on the new @compleat.bibliography.show feed. Hint: it’s from 2008.

Welcome to Compleat Bibliography, the confused offspring of @compleatdiscography.page and @babylonpod.page

We take all the literary enthusiasm of Compleat Discography and ruin it with BabPods chaotic trash energy

Hosted most often (so far) by @jude.athrabeth.com and @ana.babylonpod.page

Aaron here—just finished re-reading Rob’s (of @terryandrob.bsky.social fame) bio of Sir Terry. You all should read it too. Thank you, Rob, for sharing so much of yourself with us in the process. It’s more than we all deserve but I know I’m grateful.

If we showed up on your Spotify wrapped you are legally obligated to tell us. I don’t make the rules.

You did it! Welcome to the finish line. Lots of hugs.

It’s the end…but the moment has been prepared for!

…sorry, wrong fandom. But huge congratulations to sibling show @makeyefretpod.bsky.social, who with the release of episode 156 becomes the sixth podcast to discuss every #Discworld novel.

Take a well-earned bow and rest, Joanna and Francine!

Honestly we should do a debrief ep every time a show finishes.

Welcome to the club! What a worthwhile journey.

“What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.”
-Terry Pratchett, from the novel Going Postal

Chronological order is the best order. As is the “individual plot arc” order. Or my favorite, the “what does the library have today” order. Really, as long as you’re reading Terry, the order is right.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” GNU Terry Pratchett

Finally, please listen to our feral younger sibling show @babylonpod.page for hot takes on classic 90s tv.

If you want to listen to the show and comment at us please do, Aaron is always happy to talk Discworld, podcast-making, or whatever.

We’re accumulating a surprising number of new followers for a mostly dormant podcast, so first please let me direct your attention to the Discworld feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

lol you got that one too?

With all these new people coming in from yet another EME I guess i should post something. Hello and welcome to the Smoking Gnu.

“You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That's all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things…. You're an officer of the law, not a soldier of the government.” -Night Watch

We talked to Rob about this. He and the family and the team of editors worked super hard to make sure that Shepherd’s Crown was 99.99% Terry. It sounds like it was incredibly hard work.
