Kring, Hrun's magic sword, has forced Rincewind to acts of the most unlikely heroism. And landed him in the hottest of water as a result. In the meantime, Twoflower has manifested the most majestic of dragons and has ended up doing the heroic stuff. Quite unintentionally...

Out of the frying pan and into the fire? Rincewind, Twoflower and Hrun have defeated Bel-Shamharoth, but have now been ambushed by the dragons of the Wyrmberg. Hrun and Twoflower have disappeared (again) and Kring, Hrun's magical sword, is doing its very best to turn Rincewind into a questing, rescuing hero-type to save them. Sounds a bit of a tall order to me... Support this podcast on www.patreon.com/thebeardedwit or make a one-off donation on...

Rincewind and Twoflower have survived the carnage in Ankh-Morpork, making their escape into the picturesque and quaint countryside, only to be attacked by (and by turns highly improbably saved) by various creatures and events. It's almost as if the Gods were toying with them...

DEATH, on his way to the new carnage at The Broken Drum, has bumped into Rincewind as the "wizzard" struggles with doing the right thing about the missing Twoflower. What should he do, and most importantly, how the flip is he going to do it?

Rincewind has been "persuaded" by the Patrician to ensure no harm befalls Twoflower during his visit. And Twoflower has been deliriously happy to see the carnage of the aftermath of a genuine Morporkian tavern brawl.  I really can't see anything going wrong with this at all...  Show your love and keep this podcast alive - and get access to patron-only and ad-free content - become a patron on https://patreon.com/thebeardedwit Alternatively, you can make a one-off donation on...

We return to the Discworld, in the entirely unsavoury environs of the Broken Drum. Rincewind the wizard thinks something's afoot, and Twoflower, the stranger he's trying to save from himself, is just being painfully naive. And... what is going on with the luggage?

Thor and Wowbagger have had their epic showdown, which has left Wowbagger soaring up into the stratosphere of Nano after a spectacular uppercut from Mjölnir. However, it rather seems that Bowerick Wowbagger was having serious second thoughts about ending his immortality, as he and Trillian have very deeply fallen in love. It would seem. Arthur meanwhile is trying his very best to not be quite so damnably gauche and, well, English about everything. Things DO seem to be a bit of a pickle,...

A long period in dark space has massively amplified feelings amongst the passengers of the Tanngrísnir, love seems to be in the air, and hate, or are they? Wowbagger and Thor look set for a bit of a smack-down, but does Wowbagger still want to die? We know all the cows do, daft buggers. But most importantly, will Arthur ever get his wine, and will Ford get some sauce for all the recently lightning-fried steak lying around?

It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to things festive, to the sharing of love, the sharing of joy, of light and happiness. But this doesn’t happen without a bit of effort from all of us. Not least the jolliest of the jolly.   In a world exclusive, guest presenter Vic Hyland (and long-time friend of The Bearded Wit) manages to track down and grab a few minutes of very precious time to talk with the big guy himself during a quick coffee break.   Vic learns a little about what it really...

Zaphod, having learned Heimdall's real name (and the ability to compel the god into doing what he wants), has now FINALLY managed to get into Asgard. Onboard the Tanngrísnir, Ford, Arthur, and Fenchurch are busy ignoring the "boom-chicka-wow-wow" going on between Trillian and Wowbagger. But will Zaphod be able to persuade Thor to kill Wowbagger? And perhaps slightly more important than this, will he be able to persuade Thor NOT to kill HIM before he gets to ask about killing...

And, hey, what's up with the whole Trillian/Wowbagger thang... who saw THAT "let's get it ooooon" coming? Not Random for sure... I say, this is all getting rather complicated....

What will happen to Zaphod in Asgard? What’s happened to Arthur? Will he ever see Fenchurch again? Can fish whistle?

We're BACK! Finally, we get to join our intrepid galactic hitchhiking heroes as they attempt to make sense of anything at all. We're about a third of the way into the sixth book "And Another Thing"... Zaphod has promised to kill Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, a promise Wowbagger is VERY keen to see fulfilled. The only problem is that they're on their way, at Zaphod's suggestion, to Asgard. What Zaphod does not know, however, is that the beasts guarding Asgard have been given Zaphod's...

And Another Thing...We dive into the sixth book of three - the final installment in the Hitchhiker's saga - this time penned by Eoin Colfer of "Artemis Fowl" fame. Sanctioned by Adams' widow, Jane Belson, this is the book that he had intended to write before his all-too-early passing.After writing five Hitchhiker books, Adams had felt the need to continue the story: "I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book...", and "People have said, quite rightly, that...
