The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret

Dive into a whimsical exploration of gender in Terry Pratchett's Discworld! The hosts tackle pressing issues around trans rights, while celebrating community activism amid adversity. They analyze gender roles through beloved characters, like Tiffany Aching, and the enchanting dynamics between wizards and witches. With humor and insight, the discussion also covers the evolution of gender narratives and the importance of empathy in storytelling. It's a thought-provoking yet entertaining journey through the fantastical world and its reflections on real-life issues!
