Publisher Description

Join writer Elizabeth Flux and comedian Ben McKenzie on their six[2] year mission to read every Terry Pratchett novel[3], one a month, and discuss them with special guests, puns, listener questions and footnotes! Episodes are released on the 7Ath of each month (Australian Eastern time); the next book is listed at pratchatpodcast.com and announced at the end of each episode. Send in questions via Twitter or Facebook!

The explicit tag represents a fairly average Australian level of coarse language.

Further Information

Format

  • Most episodes begin with an excerpt from later in the discussion, played immediately before the theme music.
  • After a scripted intro, Liz and Ben discuss their guest's history with Terry Pratchett before reading the book's blurb to get into the discussion proper.
  • The bulk of each episode is a recap of the book's plot, branching into discussions about the content and style along the way.
  • After reaching the end of the book, space is given to read any favourite quotes or footnotes before continuing on to discuss listener questions.
  • During an episode, audio footnotes may appear adding extra context or jokes to the discussion.
  • Bonus episodes are occasionally released, usually on the 25th of the month. If a main episode is delayed, there’ll usually be a mini bonus episode released to help fill the gap.

Trivia

  • Regular monthly episodes of Pratchat are released on the 8th of the month at 8:08 AM, Australian Eastern Time, making it very unlucky for wizards.
  • Bonus episodes are usually released on the Glorious 25th of the month, putting them halfway between regular monthly episodes.
  • Though it didn't launch until November 2017, Pratchat was planned as early as October 2015, when the domain name and Twitter account for the podcast were created.
  • As of November 2024, Pratchat is the longest running Pratchett podcast, overtaking The Pratchett Podcast, which ran for nearly seven years.

Hosts

  • Elizabeth Flux (she/her) - a writer based in Melbourne, Australia. Co-host of nearly all episodes and a master of the pune, or play on words.
  • Ben McKenzie (he/him) - a performer, writer and game designer based in Melbourne, Australia. Co-host for all episodes, occasionally solo host for bonus episodes, and also the editor and producer for the podcast. Notable for groaning at Liz's puns.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ Including bonus episodes, over one hundred.
  2. ↑ ...ish.
  3. ↑ Not just the Discworld ones!
  4. ↑ Sort by this column to get episodes in series publication order. Discworld books have just a number. Other series have a letter prefix: "B" for the Bromeliad, "J" for Johnny Maxwell, "S" for the Science of Discworld and "L" for the Long Earth.
  5. ↑ Includes contributions from Elly Squire, Liam Pieper, Nadia Bailey, Manning and Liz from Wyrd Sisters, Joanna and Francine from The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret,Aaron and Ana from The Compleat Discography, and Anna Ahveninen.
  6. ↑ While this isn't technically part of the Long Earth series, as the precursor story that was first published in the early edition of the first book, it seems right to include it.
  7. ↑ Delayed from 8 November, and then the revised date of 25 November.
  8. ↑ Originally scheduled for June, then delayed to late June, then delayed until August, hence being released out of order.
  9. ↑ Features mostly pre-recorded contributions, including some from Jason and Rachel from the "Better Than a Poke in the Eye" newsletter (formerly Discworld Monthly); Marc Burrows; Aaron Olson of The Compleat Discography; co-host Elizabeth Flux (who does not otherwise appear); Joana Hagan and Francine Carrel of The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret; and a couple of Pratchat listeners.
  10. ↑ Recorded live at Nullus Anxietas IX, the 2024 Australian Discworld Convention.
  11. ↑ Also includes discussion of the other published version of this story, “Johnno, the Talking Horse”.
