About this episode

The hosts explore the themes and characters in the book 'Making Money' by Terry Pratchett.

Money money MONEYYYY!!! The lovely, horrible stuff! This episode, we intrepid DISC COVERERS explore MAKING MONEY, the direct follow-up to our #2 book GOING POSTAL and the first entry in what we're tactfully calling "the Encore Era". What's our boy Moist von Lipwig been up to this whole time? Why isn't Spike in more of this book? Do we really need more than one Lord Vetinari? Most importantly, in a book that's fundamentally about the inner machinations of high finance, why does this book seem excited to talk about literally anything other than high finance? Laugh hard, dear discettes and discinos, 'cause it's a long way to the bank...(Note: Audio quality is a little hinky on this episode due to some issues on my end, but it should still be perfectly listenable. Thanks for your patience, and keep on discin'! -Iris) CURRENT RANKING: 1. Night Watch 2. Going Postal 3. Monstrous Regiment 4. Feet Of Clay 5. The Truth 6. Thud! 7.
