15: Men At Arms

Disc Coverers

Hello hello hello, Discos, Discettes and Dischesas! DISC COVERERS is back, and we're covering MEN AT ARMS, the second novel in the Watch subseries and (arguably) the first one where the characters do actual fantasy policework. In this episode, we tackle such important questions as: What does policing mean in a fantasy society where protecting capital has been privatized? Are guns inherently cosmically horrific? And is having a sword pulled on you by your sexual partner after turning into a werewolf very very bad or very very horny? (Or maybe both?) We answer, or at least somewhat address all these questions and more! Don't miss the end of the episode, where we have one of the most heated ranking discussions we've had on this show to date.
