Per a conversation on the trek bbs, “The DS9 theme is a fanfare derived from the opening of Alexander Courage's TOS theme” www.trekbbs.com/threads/ds9-...
This piece from Sir Terry Pratchett's "Night Watch" book. I didn't know a composer had set it to music.
The book is a gut punch. This piece is a gut punch. And right now? Yeah.
@rhi.bsky.social I'm sure you've heard this?

Ughhhh I missed the CamelCase in the hashtag. My bad.
Spotify Wrapped page noting that we were the #1 show for 42 people
Spotify wrapped page with the following stats for 2025: 800% new audience 11% increase in followers 2,900 listening hours
So we more or less finished two years ago and y’all are still listening. We love to be helping to #speakhisname like this. And this is just our Spotify stats.

Today is Father's Day in Australia, so hey! even if (like me) you don't much care, have a listicle from @tansyrr.bsky.social about the dads of the Discworld...
(I'm currently re-reading Soul Music, so I have Thoughts.)

Our entire show had two goals: have @justen.babylonpod.page as our new reader proxy, and to force @aaron.compleatdiscography.page to finally read The Shepherd’s Crown. We are so glad we did both things.
It’s the Glorious 25th of May and we’re exploring gender on the Disc! You can even watch us in all our glory here: youtu.be/OXJYfghjUDA?...
Most importantly, if you want to join us in donating to the Good Law Project’s trans rights fundraiser, you can do so here: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...
Gosh it sneaks up on you every time.
THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why it’s a pertinent one for this cause. (More pics to come.)

In our intermittent and confusing post-compleation schedule, we’re happy to present a discussion of Nation by Terry Pratchett. This is one of @aaron.compleatdiscography.page ‘s favorite books of all time and we hope you enjoy it too. compleatdiscography.page/episode/9994...

Porting across some of my fave tweet threads. Starting with this piece of wonderful Pratchett trivia!
Discworld fans, like myself, probably know the real trade of the Seamstresses in Ankh-Morpork, but do you know where the term comes from?

Recording something this weekend. It’ll be here and on the new @compleat.bibliography.show feed. Hint: it’s from 2008.
Welcome to Compleat Bibliography, the confused offspring of @compleatdiscography.page and @babylonpod.page
We take all the literary enthusiasm of Compleat Discography and ruin it with BabPods chaotic trash energy
Hosted most often (so far) by @jude.athrabeth.com and @ana.babylonpod.page
Aaron here—just finished re-reading Rob’s (of @terryandrob.bsky.social fame) bio of Sir Terry. You all should read it too. Thank you, Rob, for sharing so much of yourself with us in the process. It’s more than we all deserve but I know I’m grateful.
If we showed up on your Spotify wrapped you are legally obligated to tell us. I don’t make the rules.
You did it! Welcome to the finish line. Lots of hugs.
It’s the end…but the moment has been prepared for!
…sorry, wrong fandom. But huge congratulations to sibling show @makeyefretpod.bsky.social, who with the release of episode 156 becomes the sixth podcast to discuss every #Discworld novel.
Take a well-earned bow and rest, Joanna and Francine!
Honestly we should do a debrief ep every time a show finishes.
Welcome to the club! What a worthwhile journey.
“What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.”
-Terry Pratchett, from the novel Going Postal
Chronological order is the best order. As is the “individual plot arc” order. Or my favorite, the “what does the library have today” order. Really, as long as you’re reading Terry, the order is right.
“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” GNU Terry Pratchett
Finally, please listen to our feral younger sibling show @babylonpod.page for hot takes on classic 90s tv.
If you want to listen to the show and comment at us please do, Aaron is always happy to talk Discworld, podcast-making, or whatever.
We’re accumulating a surprising number of new followers for a mostly dormant podcast, so first please let me direct your attention to the Discworld feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...
