About this Episode

Welcome to Nanny Ogg's Book Club: A Discworld Podcast! Join us as we read through all 41 of the fantastical and outrageous Discworld novels! This is Episode 8: Sourcery.

On the Discworld, it is common knowledge that the eighth son of an eighth son is a wizard. But the eighth son of an eighth son of an eighth son is a sourcerer, a wizard squared, a being too powerful to be held by reality. But one wizard deliberately has an eighth son out of vengeance, prophesying that he will destroy the world. Eight years later, the sourcerer, Coin, arrives at the Unseen University on the eve of the confirmation of a new Archchancellor, claiming the University, and the Disc, for his own. But his magic is too powerful, bringing out the worst in the wizards, and attracting the attention of the beings of the Dungeon Dimensions. And the only one who can stop him is the failed wizard Rincewind.
