S1E37 - Making Money
In which we discuss economic policy, the rule of law, and other things Vetinari has very specific ideas about.
What happens when you give the keys to the royal mint to a conman with a heart (and a suit) of gold? It's time to find out in Making Money, the 36th book in the Discworld series.
We are joined by two guests this month!

Besides her role as a professional cowologist/sheeponomist she enjoys knitting, hiking, nerding out about comic books, and consuming copious amounts of caffeine.

Intro Music is "The Dark Morris Song" by Steeleye Span in collaboration with Sir Terry Pratchett, and is used in the hope that they don't sue us because their music rocks--and everyone should go listen to their full Wintersmith album a few times and maybe buy a copy or two.
