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 3: The Colour of Magic. Unlike subsequent Discworld novels, The Colour of Magic is divided into 4 main sections that almost act as interconnected short stories or novellas. Each of these sections remixes and satirizes classic Sword and Sorcery genres tropes and texts that were very popular in the seventies  and eighties. The overall plot introduces us to the failed wizard Rincewind, a cowardly loser who has the worst luck in the universe and only knows one spell that he cannot say for fear of what it does. He is coerced by the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork into becoming a guide/protector for Twoflower, the Discworld's first tourist from the Counterweight Continent, little knowing that this job will lead him on a journey to the literal edge of the Disc.

Episode 1: Mort

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 1: Mort. Mort is an unwieldy and overly enthusiastic teenager who is unsuited to his family's farming business. His family attempts to get him an apprenticeship, but the only person who shows up to take him on the day of the apprenticeship fair is a living skeleton with a cowl and a scythe, Death of course. Death takes Mort to his realm where he meets Death's adopted daughter, Ysabell, and his crusty butler Albert. After many weeks of taking care of Death's horse—Binky—and watching Death assist those who have died along towards their own personal afterlife, Death decides to take a night off and Mort is finally given the chance to step in and do the job himself. Only, things don't go as planned, and reality itself might now be unraveling.
