    About this Episode

    Welcome to Nanny Ogg's Book Club: A Discworld Podcast! Join us as we read through all 41 of the fantastical and outrageous Discworld novels! This is Episode 7: Equal Rites. In Equal Rites, Drum Billet the wizard knows that he is dying and wishes to bequeath his power to someone. He arrives in the Lancre village of Bad Ass right before the birth of a new wizard, the eighth son of an eighth son. He gives up his power, not realizing that the infant, Eskarina Smith, is a girl, and he dies before he can fix his mistake. Everyone on the Disc knows that magic falls along gender lines: women are witches and men are wizards. But Drum Billet's wizard staff recognizes Esk as a wizard when she is eight years old, and she needs to find a teacher before her uncontrollable power attracts the attention of monsters from the Dungeon Dimensions.

William De Worde is the black sheep of the De Worde family, refusing his father's money and eeking out an existence writing a newsletter for rich patrons. When he meets some enterprising dwarves who own the Disc's first printing press, they quickly join forces to start the Ankh-Morpork Times, the Disc's first newspaper. Their first big scoop? The apparent crimes of Lord Vetinari, accused of embezzlement and murder.

    Episode 24: The Fifth Elephant
    Welcome to Nanny Ogg's Book Club: A Discworld Podcast! Join us as we read through all 41 of the fantastical and outrageous Discworld novels! This is Episode 24: The Fifth Elephant. Vimes is dismayed to find himself sent on a diplomatic mission to Uberwald in his new role as the Duke of Ankh. He is outside his jurisdiction in a country where the lore rules and the strongest prey on the weak. But the new Low King of the dwarves is being crowned, and Ankh-Morpork needs Uberwald's resources, specifically fat. Things start going awry when a dwarven artifact is stolen, Angua disappears to deal with family matters, and Carrot resigns from the Watch. Vimes can find crimes anywhere, and it looks like this time, it's politics.
