Somehow Rincewind has returned... and this book reveals how.
This romp through time and mythology showcases the illustrations of Josh Kirby. We go around on the theme of whether time is cyclical and tangent on Troy.
We also ask our listeners to let us know what they want to hear and mention some other fine Discworld podcasts.

A book full of weird little guys and the too-relevant harnessing of small-minded resentfulness in the cause of a harmful power play.
We discuss why Lady Sybil is great, the difference between a reign of terror and keyhole surgery of terror, and how the best employee perks are simply more money and more time off.

An interesting story with good riffing on popular ancient history, but doesn't feel like Pratchett is railing against anything.
Featuring various tangents about ancient Egyptian history, and a flashback to watching 10,000 BC (a deeply incorrect film). Plus timey wimey stuff and mathsy words.
