Publisher Description

Melissa Diaz and Clay Foreman boldly go where no nerds have gone before in this deep dive into Terry Pratchett's Discworld Universe and beyond

Further Information

Format

  • A casual discussion in the “chumcast” style - i.e. it's a largely unedited recording of a conversation between friends with no particular structure or attempt to stick to topic. (For this reason we’ve put them in the “other appearances” listings on the book pages.)
  • The hosts often stray into “edgy” territory. One version of episode three's description notes that it discusses suicide.
  • Since episode 16, “The Neverending Podcast Story”, the show has broadened to cover other books and comics, not just Discworld novels.

Trivia

  • Some episodes spend a lot of time on general chat before they get to the book, while some get there a lot quicker.
  • Episodes five through seven were, according to the numbering in the media filenames, released in reverse order. This might make sense of the reading order.

Hosts

  • Melissa Diaz - a stand-up comedian based in the Bronx, New York; not clear if she's read Discworld before
  • Clay Foreman - a French Canadian from Nova Scotia; an existing Discworld fan, who is choosing which books they read

Episodes

The table below indexes episodes of this podcast. They are listed by default in release order, and we've used the numbering from the podcast feed (though see trivia entry above).

Footnotes

  1. ↑ Sort by this column to see episodes in Discworld publication order.
  2. ↑ This episode seems to have been re-posted, at least to some podcast directories, on 27 January 2023 with the title “Small Gods Smack a B%tch”. This version adds the new theme song and updates the episode description. Also, a content warning - the revised episode’s description says it contains discussion of suicide.
