The witches are back! Nanny Ogg - nice but also underhanded. Magrat - almost queen, but somehow still being unfairly treated like a silly girl. Granny Weatherwax - realises the death that she feels coming may not be hers. We also discuss witchcraft's recruitment problem, being suspicious of anyone who seems too glamorous, why elves might look like AI art, and Summer Lovin' Lancre edition.

Our book of the week is Carpe Jugulum, which I think is one of the most feel-good reads in all the books. From the bumbling Count Magpyr to Agnes, Magrat, Nanny and Granny joining forces, to the introduction of the Wee Free Men, this one makes me smile all the way through. Check out our new webpage at www.podpage.com/witches-and-wizards-portal.The previous week's Pratchips, and last week's regular episode, are available on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh2HGerNeQ9kkv3WvZnyzVQAvec videos of our hard-working staff.All Pratchips episodes for the coming week are now available to all Patreon supporters (at whatever level) on our Patreon page, and to all members of our Discord community, Friends of Medieval Gnome Productions in the Pratchips channel.Our Patreon page may be found at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=21210045&fan_landing=trueYou can join our Discord community by searching for it on the Discord home page, or by clicking here: https://discord.gg/kdr5SWnUPPEmail us at www.medievalgnome@gmail.com.

Magrat started out with the deck stacked against her—or at least with the aces removed—but she turned out to be an iconoclastic witch, an exceptional queen, and an outstanding herbalist to boot.

Let's talk about Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett, the sixth Discworld book! And meet my new cohost for Discworld episodes, Anna! We had way too much fun talking about Granny, Nanny, and Magrat. This episode contains spoilers for the first six books of the Discworld series and some vague hints for future books. Twitter: @stuckonarrakisStraw Haired Chits Discord: https://discord.gg/TqPt9Pm Email: stuckonarrakis@gmail.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/stuckonarrakis

Maskerade! Every face a different shade... after reading Nanny Ogg's new cookbook, that is. Seeking unpaid royalties (and a young witch to replace newly married Magrat), Nanny and Granny head to Ankh-Morpork. They experience Culture, commit shenanigans, and consider questions of morality. Meanwhile, when Sir Terry isn't making her the butt of every single fat joke he can think of, Agnes Nitt has a journey of self-exploration, feeling the twin pull of the life she wants as Perdita X Nitt, famous opera singer, and the life she knows as Agnes the witch-in-potentia.Because this is vaguely Phantom of the Opera (actually a little less than we thought woops), we invited our good friend Coast to join us (noted Phantom expert and Locked Tomb fanatic). Coast is a person who gets excited about things on the internet. Sometimes fan-artist/writer/long-winded babbler.

Content warnings for this episode include child abuse, self harm and mental instability, spiders and wasps, threatened physical torture, and sexual harassment.We continue Wyrd Sisters and reveal the Fool's tragic backstory; also Nanny Ogg is taken prisoner by the Duke but she's not too worried about it. Granny on the other hand, extremely worried about the lack of respect for witches. Also lots of good sincere yet misguided Magrat antics!This week in The Disc-Course: Officially funniest motherfucker, cringey meet cute, middle school Jess, grandma fight, respect our sign twirlers, snake boyfriends, black squawks, POV chapter, big city fire, endgame madness, owl in a tight green dress, bootable offense, apple sellers, jingling with rage, top 10 Discworld scene, baby king, ear burning embarrassment, your last chuckle, Witch Docs, and the greatest thread of all time again.Click here for cool witch bootsFor those playing along at home: Read up to page 247 in Wyrd Sisters (depending on your edition of the book), ending on the line: "'When you break rules, break 'em good and hard,' said Nanny, and grinned a set of gums that were more menacing than teeth."-----You can email us at thedisccoursepod@gmail.com, follow the show @thedisccourse on twitter, or find us in the phonebook under Zlorf!Our theme music is by Maxie Satan; find her on bandcamp at Pastel Hand Grenade.

Episode 4A of Unseen Academicals, discussing the third book in the Witches Series, Witches Abroad (1991), and using it to explore the characterisation of Magrat and her tension with Granny Weatherwax, crises of identity, homoerotic familiars, fairy godmothers, how fairytales shape culture, way too much about Sleeping Beuaty and The Wizard of Oz, a bit of Shrek, and, uh... dildos. Lot's of dildos. Nanny Ogg would be proud (we hope!).The sound on this one is actually pretty good! There's an intermittent thumping sound that shows up now and then, I've done my best to minimise it and I've found speeding up the podcast to 1.2x or 1.5x speed smooths it out a lot.

This week our hosts start Wyrd Sisters; we're reintroduced to Granny Weatherwax, this time joined by Nanny Ogg who fucks and Magrat who doesn't know what fucking is. The witches have a baby foisted upon them, the son of a murdered king; and things are downright Shakespearean.This week in The Disc-Course: ugly babies, the Timothee Chalamet of thunderstorms, Assigned Nu-Metal at Birth, cringe grimoire, Julie will remember this, grand theft baby, just found out about death, exposition ghost, the witch zone, two and a half kings, Felmet power couple, the Fools guild, local sex-haver and also witch, ugly ugly crowns, local theatre, Macbeth turned up to 11, impulse buying, gunpla granny, three person memes, and Greebo.For those playing along at home: Read up to page 119 in Wyrd Sisters (depending on your edition of the book), ending on the line: "But a witch would certainly come looking for her cat--wouldn't she?"-----You can email us at thedisccoursepod@gmail.com, follow the show @thedisccourse on twitter, or find us in the phonebook under Zlorf!Our theme music is by Maxie Satan; find her on bandcamp at Pastel Hand Grenade.

Magrat inherits the duties of a fairy godmother, and obviously Granny and Nanny come along to make sure the wedding is adequately broken up. There is a wonderful "British tourists on the Continent" storyline, some extremely funny murder-cat moments, the Disc's second-greatest lover, the first appearance of Dwarf Bread... and then Sir Terry decides to incorporate Voodoo as a major plotline, which is unfortunate to put it mildly. We discuss this as well as four people outside the religious and cultural practice of Voodoo can, but if this topic is upsetting, please take that into account.An image of Patch(Wolverine) who may be an inspiration for HumanGreebo?Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, and @JustenwritesWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chanceFuzzball Parade by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5044-fuzzball-paradeLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Star of the stage Gillian Cosgriff joins Liz and Ben to cower in fear before that most horrifying of beasts: the magpie! Yes, it's time for the twenty-third Discworld novel, 1998's Carpe Jugulum. The new princess of Lancre has been officially named! But all has not gone well: new priest Mightily Oats took Queen Magrat's notes on the naming a little too literally. King Verence has been a little too liberal with which nobility he invited. And most worryingly of all, Granny Weatherwax - supposed to be the baby's godmother - is nowhere to be found. As the forward-looking Count de Magpyr and his family effortlessly dominate the wills of all about them (with the notable exception of two-minded Agnes Nitt), can the fractured witches pull together a full coven and save the day? And what on the Disc is going on in the mews? The fifth and last of the books to star the original coven of Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and now-Queen Magrat Garlick shakes things up even more than its predecessors. Young witch Agnes Nitt's inner voice is now a fully independent personality, while Nanny and Granny clash over their roles and responsibilities, and Magrat brings her child along to coven meetings. Pratchett also takes aim at every vampire tradition and cliche from curtain-twitching to shying away from holy symbols, pitting the modern vampire against his more monstrous predecessors. And on top of that, he introduces two enduring fan favourites: the first of many Discworld Igors, and the tiny "pictsies" of the Nac mac Feegle! What did you you think? Does Carpe Jugulum make beautiful music? Is Pratchett's ongoing need to make fat jokes too distracting? When he came up with the idea of vampires who turn into and control magpies instead of bats, do you think he realised how horrifying that would seem to Australians? Use the hashtag #Pratchat36 on social media to join the conversation! Guest Gillian Cosgriff is an actor, singer and cabaret star most recently seen as part of the Australian cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Gill's career has included musical comedy, musical theatre and - as mentioned briefly in our Maskerade episode - opera!

In our seventeenth episode we join everyone's favourite dysfunctional coven - and guest, writer Nadia Bailey - as we return to Lancre for the 1992 Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies! The Lancre coven have returned from their trip abroad, but despite the impending royal wedding of Magrat and King Verence, all is not well in the Ramtops: it's circle time, when the walls between worlds are thin, and in the witches' absence someone has been toying with powers beyond their understanding. As usual Granny Weatherwax thinks she can sort everything out herself: facing down a young witch wannabe and keeping the Gentry at bay. But Granny is off her game. Is it the arrival of an old flame? Or is her time as a witch of Lancre nearly up? She'll need Nanny and Magrat's help to see off the threat of the Lords and Ladies... Bringing us back to the witches after only one book away, Lords and Ladies is a particularly Pratchett take on the ancient Celtic stories that inspired modern ideas of fairies and elves. One of the few novels to cross the streams between the witches and wizards, it also gives us more of a glimpse into Esme Weatherwax's past, hints at the future of witchcraft (and royalty) in Lancre, and introduces the infamous "Trousers of Time". Is this your favourite witches novel? What do you think of the parallel universes, other dimensions and alternate timelines it describes? And is this the best take on elves since Tolkien? We'd love to hear from you! Use the hashtag #Pratchat17 on social media to join the conversation. Don't forget that you can see Liz and Ben at both Speculate 2019 on March 15 and 16, and at Nullus Anxietas 7, the Australian Discworld Convention, on April 13 and 14! Plus Ben's new show, You Chose Poorly, plays at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from April 1-7. Next month, to tie in with our appearance at Speculate, we'll be leaving the Discworld and blasting off into outer space as we discuss one of Pratchett's early sci-fi novels, The Dark Side of the Sun, with writer Will Kostakis! We'll likely be recording around the time of Speculate 2019, so get your questions in via social media before March 15th using the hashtag #Pratchat18. Show Notes and Errata: Nadia Bailey is an author, journalist and critic whose work has appeared in The Australian, The Age, The Lifted Brow and many others. The Book of Barb, an unofficial celebration of the surprisingly popular supporting character from the first season of Netflix "kids on bikes" drama Stranger Things, was her first book; it was followed by The Stranger Things Field Guide in December 2018. In between Nadia wrote The World's Best BFFs, a book of profiles of celebrity best friends. All three are published by Smith Street Books. You can find Nadia online at nadiabailey.com, and she tweets at @animalorchestra.There are two examples of Steven Moffat writing women who marry men who follow them around in Doctor Who - first in his most famous episode, Blink, and then in the Christmas special The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe. There are similar behaviours in his other work, going all the way back to Press Gang. We previously mentioned The Craft in our Witches Abroad episode, but it's worth mentioning here that one of its stars, Fairuza Balk, made her major screen debut in another film referenced this episode: Return to Oz (see below).The Last Unicorn (1982) is an adaptation of the 1968 fantasy novel by American writer Peter S. Beagle, and has a pretty star-studded voice cast including René Auberjonois, Alan Arkin (who plays the incompetent magician Schmendrick), Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow (who plays the titular unicorn), Angela Lansbury and Death himself, Christopher Lee! It has music written by Jimmy Webb, including songs performed by the band America.Narnia is a fantasy world invented by English writer C S Lewis in his Chronicles of Narnia books. The White Queen first appears in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950),

In episode four, vaudevillian Elly Squires - aka Clara Cupcakes - joins us to discuss one of her first Discworld books, and the start of the witches series proper: Wyrd Sisters! The sixth Discworld novel, published in 1988, it's the second book to feature Granny Weatherwax - but the first to introduce her fellow witches, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. Seasoned witches Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg are adjusting to life in a coven with recently graduated apprentice Magrat Garlick when the king of their tiny country of Lancre is murdered, and his baby son escapes into their arms. The murderer, Duke Felmet, is crowned the new, much crueller king, but with the rightful heir off being raised by a troupe of travelling actors, Granny, Nanny and Magrat must contend with rumour, theatre and their own clashing personalities if they are to change their kingdom's story... The witches are one of Pratchett's most beloved groups of characters, and pre-date both the City Watch and the modern faculty of Unseen University - so it's surprising to see them spring so fully-formed from their first novel! We loved meeting them all over again. We'd love to hear what you think of Wyrd Sisters - if you're joining this episode's discussion on social media, please use the hashtag #Pratchat4 so we can all find each other's thoughts! (Big thanks to listener Jodie for this brilliant idea.) Elly Squires can be found on Twitter as her alter-ego @claracupcakes. She's touring her hit 2017 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, The Worst, to various festivals around Australia and the world, including Fringe World in Perth and the Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland. Keep an eye out for her tour dates on Facebook or (if you're not afraid of Russian hackers) at claracupcakes.com. You can read the full show notes and errata for this episode on our web site. Our next book, discussed in our March 8th episode, will be 1989's standalone Discworld novel, Pyramids - and joining us to talk about assassins, gods and a very different tiny kingdom will be comedian Richard McKenzie! We'll be recording on February 19th, so get your questions in before then if you'd like us to answer them on the podcast! You can use the hashtag #Pratchat5 to ask them via social media.

Radio Morpork is a podcast that discusses Terry Pratchett's Discworld one book at a time. Colm and Steve join Granny, Nanny and Magrat as they return to Lancre to deal with folk memory fear mongers, the Elves. Their discussion takes in how this book follows on magnificently from what's been established in the previous Lancre witches books, how Lancre itself feels realer and more lived in here, and comparing Elves to the Internet, celebrities, aliens and much more besides.
