Episode Description

"Transgressive children's literature" - Andy

"That's your Carnegie Medal right there" - PJ


Andy and PJ both have their first go-around with this book, chasing after Maurice, Darktan and the clan to figure out the themes, the mysteries and how the Rat King would work as an X-Men villain.

Andy talks life as an owner of three dozen gerbils, and which of them have names inspired by Pratchett, and this book in particular. Take a look at the gerbils on the YouTube and Spotify video variants.
