E15 - Soul Music

The bluegrass playing, guitar making, amateur cello repairman Dermot Byrne returns to discuss the 16th Discworld novel, Soul Music. We attempt to take Pratchett's vision apart with inexpert tools, discussing Pratchett's views on education, the music industry, groanworthy puns, dated references and Mustrum Ridcully's caring side.Please note that there may be some mild spoilers for future Death books and Feet of Clay.
