Eric, by Terry Pratchett, and Bowmore 12yo - Part 2

Michael, Ethan, and special guest Karen continue to discuss Eric, by Terry Pratchett, while drinking Bowmore 12yo Islay Single Malt..

In this episode:

Ethan is always the villain

This podcast is made up of 100% “recovering” teachers’ pets

Pratchett builds layers into a silly pun

K is TWO letters before M, a fact that 100% of this podcast fully understands

This is not the “Madame Blavatsky and her insanely racist occultism” podcast

Pratchett satirizes the Faust/Mephisto relationship by making the Rincewind/Eric relationship… wholesome?

Sorry Karen’s punishment was actually everyone’s punishment (poem text if you for some reason want to know the rest)

Just like, a LOT of ratings at the end. Like, a massive number of ratings by volume.
