Ghoulish greetings, discerati! DISC COVERERS is back in time for spooky season, and this time we're covering THE FIFTH ELEPHANT! Special guest host and werewolf expert KEL MCDONALD joins us to talk about this dark, thrill-packed political potboiler that also, coincidentally, just happens to be a Discworld novel. Why is this the only werewolf-centric Discworld book? Could prime-era Bruce Willis pull off a convincing Sam Vimes? How are we STILL debating whether Nobby Nobbs is a non-binary icon? We paws to reflect on all this and more in this extra-long super episode!
