Blurb

It's the night before Hogswatch. And it's too quiet.

There's snow, there're robins, there're trees covered with decorations, but there's a notable lack of the big fat man who delivers the toys...

Susan the governess has got to find him before morning, otherwise the sun won't rise. And unfortunately, her only helpers are a raven with an eyeball fixation, the Death of Rats and an oh god of hangovers.

Worse still, someone is coming down the chimney. This time he's carrying a sack instead of a scythe, but there's something regrettably familiar...

Ho. Ho. Ho.

It's true what they say.

'You'd better watch out...'

Those episodes are listed in the "Other appearances" lists because of this split focus.
  2. ↑ Also discusses Soul Music, but doesn’t stay on topic.
  3. ↑ Also discusses Terry Pratchett's Hogfather.
  4. ↑ The Hogfather discussion is at the start; note that the hosts didn’t like it that much, and one of them listened to the abridged Tony Robinson audiobook.
  5. ↑ Emma reads an excerpt from the book. See the list of other podcasts about Pratchett for another episode of Emma’s ESL English where Emma uses examples of metaphors and similes from Pratchett’s works.
