The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret

New Episode time! An Earth is getting faster and we’re almost capable of forming sentences as we talk The Long Utopia - part 2! Listen here, or wherever you get your podcasts: thetruthshallmakeyefret.com/category/epi...

GormenCast returns! Come with us on an intensely confusing journey through the castle’s twisted halls, as we lose our minds over part 1 of Gormenghast! thetruthshallmakeyefret.com/category/epi...

First recording in a few months last night, please enjoy us trying to remember how to podcast (The episode didn’t go uphill from here - GormenCast arrives tomorrow!)

We’re back in less than a week! Gormenghast part 1 - chapters 1-39 comes out on Monday. Let’s wander some crumbling edifices!

Apropos of nothing (and certainly not a trailer dropping) quick reminder that Terry Pratchett was fucking great, and consuming media made by bigots is a shit thing to do! Also last year we did an episode about Gender on the Discworld with lovely messages of trans inclusion from some great people.

It’s almost time! We’re getting ready to emerge from hibernation and return to your ears, dear little listeners.

Oh hell yes

Our first episode on The Long Earth (covering chapters 1-25) comes out tomorrow!

We got so, so normal about this. Kim for the next episode of @makeyefretpod.bsky.social (out on the 10th, as is the book!)

It’s possible that, while discussing Gender on the Discworld (episode available on YouTube: youtu.be/OXJYfghjUDA?... ) as well as the usual places, we occasionally wondered off topic. Donate to the Good Law Project’s trans rights fundraiser here: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Happy Terry Pratchett Day! We’ve spent 100s of hours on 100s of episodes talking about this great man’s work, and it could never be enough.

The first episode of @makeyefretpod.bsky.social’s new season is out, in which they very kindly discuss a favourite book I’ve already read: Titus Groan, the first book of Gormenghast! Yes, Jo and Francine are having a fit of Peake and it’s great fun. thetruthshallmakeyefret.com/2025/04/13/1...

Titus Groan is 99p in the UK kindle store right now, if that's the ecosystem you've accidental got yourself stuck in www.amazon.co.uk/Titus-Groan-...

April Fools! Alright, we’re not actually becoming a full-time Gormenghast podcast. Life is simply too short. BUT, we will be covering the first book in the trilogy (Titus Grown) this very month! And there’s plenty of delights in store for the rest of the year.

We’re finally back and embarking on a brand new journey! Announcing GORMENCAST, in which we’ll be reading and recapping every book in Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy, a chapter at a time. We can’t wait to wander this sprawling castle with you!

Getting ready to emerge from hiatus hibernation…
