Welcome to the Guild of Recappers & Podcasters!

This wiki is intended to be a central index of information about podcasts[1] discussing the works of Terry Pratchett. Let us know if we're missing one!

For annotations and information about those works, see the L-Space wiki, where the basic index started out life on the Podcasts page.

To reduce moderation overhead, and to keep the project within scope, the wiki is currently only editable by approved users. If you make a Pratchett podcast or otherwise want to help keep the wiki up to date, request an account!

Pages to start with

Things we need

  • Wanted Pages - these are pages that are linked to in the wiki, but don't yet exist
  • Wanted Categories - categories for pages which don't have explanatory text

Currently working on...

  • Recently upgraded the wiki to MediaWiki 1.40.1, so far with no problems. Have also added a couple of extra skin options (set yours under user preferences).
  • Adding intro paragraphs, blurbs and cover images to the book pages, to give more context for new readers using this wiki.
  • Adding articles for games and adaptations.
  • Adding pages for people who crop up multiple times as guests, narrators, voice actors etc.
  • Adding pages for other authors, in lieu of adding pages for their books. (We need some limits on the scope of the wiki.)

Footnotes

  1. A podcast is an episodic audio (or sometimes video) program published on the web and indexed by an RSS feed. We are definitely open to adding other recap or discussion formats like YouTube channels, blogs and so on. Get in touch if you want to be included!
