Episode 36: Making Money (and "A Few Words from Lord Vetinari")
Aug 1, 202402:59:05Tap to summarizeWelcome 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 36: Making Money (and "A Few Words from Lord Vetinari"). Moist Von Lipwig is bored. The Post Office is doing better than ever and the clacks companies are running smoothly and above board. What's an ex-con man to do in these circumstances? Lord Vetinari is concerned that Moist will fall back to his old ways, so he puts him in charge of the Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork and the Mint. Who knew making money could be so dangerous? Our discussion also includes the speech "A Few Words from Lord Vetinari," which was written by Sir Terry and performed by Stephen Briggs to celebrate the twinning of Ankh-Morpork with the town of Wincanton in Somerset.
