19: Feet Of Clay

from Disc Coverers · host Iris Jay, Grace Lovelace, Balina Mahigan, and Juniper Theory

Greetings, disc-istas! Tonight's episode of DISC COVERERS is a reeeeal good one... we're covering FEET OF CLAY, another Watch book about mechanized labor, arsenic, rat hunting and gender that might actually be the most cyberpunk Discworld novel we've yet read. Who decides who gets to be a person? What happens when we put too much faith into one person, or one idea? Are there ANY cis people out there who identify with werewolves on a deep personal level, or is it exclusively a trans thing? We DISC-cuss these questions, and much much more... Also, apologies for getting this episode out somewhat after the holiday itself, but hey, happy belated Chanukah to our Jewish listeners regardless! And happy holidays to ALL our listeners. Thanks for spending time with us in our weird little book club! Here's to a better, brighter 2023! <3 <3 OUR CURRENT RANKING: 1. Feet Of Clay 2. Small Gods 3. Reaper Man 4. Men At Arms 5.
