* The title (and to a lesser extent the format) is inspired by the long-running BBC Radio program ''[[wikipedia:Desert Island Discs|Desert Island Discs]]''. Terry Pratchett appeared on the show in February 1997, naming his top pick as Steeleye Span's "Thomas the Rhymer". The show's opposite is ''[[wikipedia:Room 101 (radio series)|Room 101]]''.

* The podcast's tagline is also inspired by ''Desert Island Discs'', which describes the things guests (referred to as "castaways") can take with them: "Eight tracks,<ref>Clearly not a show set on the Discworld!</ref> a book and a luxury: what would you take to a desert island? Guests share the soundtrack of their lives."

* The seventh season ended with the podcast having covered every Discworld novel except for {{E}} and {{TSC}}, along with many other of Pratchett's works. The following “Season 7A” will have at least two special episodes; the first covers {{E}}, and the second, released on the anniversary of {{COM}}, invites guest [[Marc Burrows]] to interview Al before discussing {{TSC}}.
* The fifth podcast to discuss every Discworld novel, after {{RMP}}, {{DOP}}, {{WSP}} and {{TCD}}.

Publisher Description

A weekly interview podcast about the works of Terry Pratchett and the people who read them, with host Al Kennedy. One guest, one book, four elephants, one turtle.

Further Information

Format

  • Host Al asks the episode's guest which Terry Pratchett book they would like to take with them if they were stuck on a desert island, and discusses it with them in an informal chat which is also an interview about their life and work.
  • The podcast is released in seasons of six episodes, though later seasons have seven or eight episodes; the additional ones are the result of goals reached by the podcast's Patreon campaign.

Trivia

  • The title (and to a lesser extent the format) is inspired by the long-running BBC Radio program Desert Island Discs. Terry Pratchett appeared on the show in February 1997[1], naming his top pick as Steeleye Span's "Thomas the Rhymer". The show's opposite is Room 101.
  • The podcast's tagline is also inspired by Desert Island Discs, which describes the things guests (referred to as "castaways") can take with them: "Eight tracks,[2] a book and a luxury: what would you take to a desert island? Guests share the soundtrack of their lives."
  • The seventh season of the podcast was released in two "blocks" of four episodes, "just like Stranger Things, except in two blocks of four!", as the Twitter account announced.[3]
  • The seventh season ended with the podcast having covered every Discworld novel except for Eric and The Shepherd's Crown, along with many other of Pratchett's works. The following “Season 7A” will have at least two special episodes; the first covers Eric, and the second, released on the anniversary of The Colour of Magic, invites guest Marc Burrows to interview Al before discussing The Shepherd's Crown.
  • The fifth podcast to discuss every Discworld novel, after Radio Morpork, The Death of Podcasts, Wyrd Sisters and The Compleat Discography.
