Advertise on podcast: Witches and Wizards Portal

Welcome to an old podcast with a new name. Witches and Wizards Portal, et al. are now officially subsumed in Tales from the Drum. That’s our new name.          Season 11 begins with a brief fanfare, a medium ramble, an extended metaphor, and some serious compare-and-contrast. All that in 43 minutes or so. No grass is growing under our feet!  Facebook page: Tales from the Drum Website: https://www.podpage.com/Tales-From-the-Drum/ YouTube channel: Tales from the Drum  email: medievalgnome@gmail.

One of those Leonard of Quirm designs that never should’ve seen the light of day. Or at least should have been destroyed immediately thereafter. But it wasn’t, it has occult vibes, and it kills people. It almost takes over Sam Vimes before Carrot destroys it. Narrow escape all ‘round. Our Podpage webpage is down for maintenance this week.  We will have a new Facebook page by this Friday. The previous week’s Pratchips, and last week’s regular episode, are available on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh2HGerNeQ9kkv3WvZnyzVQ Avec videos of our hard-working staff.

The Pork Futures Warehouse is a monument to the literal-mindedness (or is it bloody-mindedness) of the Ankh-Morkpork mentality. They sell pork futures, right?

He’s the Watch’s first dwarf officer. He teaches Detritus to count. He is unfortunate to run into the killer who’s terrorizing Ankh-Morpork with a gonne. But, he is sent into the afterlife with the most powerful weapon a dwarf could take with, just in case the gods and demons the dwarfs don’t believe in, don’t realize they don’t.  Our Podpage webpage is down for maintenance this week.  We will have a new Facebook page by this Friday.

There’s a killer on the loose in Ankh-Morpork—a killer armed with a gonne. On top of that, the dwarfs and trolls are at each other’s throats, Captain Vimes is getting married, and Carrot conscripts dozens of people to be in the Watch—technically the Citizens Militia, because there has been “an irreparable breakdown in law and order.” And Carrot knows his law.  Men at Arms, 15th Discworld book, is the subject of our Pratchips episodes this week (as well as of the above clever, pithy blurb).  Our Podpage webpage is down for maintenance this week.  We will have a new Facebook page by this Friday.

Ned Simnel is Dick Simnel’s father. Before he gets himself turned into a cloud of pink steam, he invents a machine called the Combination Harvester, which is supposed to do just that. Bill Door is horrified by this machine which will harvest without caring or even knowing what it’s doing. He ultimately destroys the machine, which may well have been what turned Ned in the direction of exploring the possibilities of steam power.  Check out our webpage at www.podpage.com/witches-and-wizards-portal.

After having been “retired” from his job as the Disc’s Ultimate Reality, Death takes on the persona of Bill Door, and proceeds to learn a lot about being human. These lessons largely take place on the farm of Miss Renata Flitworth, who hires him as a sixpence-a-week farm hand. Check out our webpage at www.podpage.com/witches-and-wizards-portal.

Windle Poons is 130 years old, and it’s time for him to die. However, Death fails to show up for him, and this launches him on a series of adventures that culminate in his saving Ankh-Morpork from a predatory parasite city that has grown up outside the walls.  Not bad work for a 130 year-old dead guy. And, in the end, Death does come for Windle, much to his relief.  Check out our webpage at www.podpage.com/witches-and-wizards-portal.

Death learns about being human, as he becomes Bill Door. He’s been retired as Death, so why not? Windle Poons learns about being undead, since Death fails to show up for him.  Add in the strange snowglobes, wire trolleys, and the… predator city, and you’ve got yourself a book.  Check out our webpage at www.podpage.com/witches-and-wizards-portal.
