What is the Guild of Recappers & Podcasters?

This is a wiki - a publicly editable website (though see below) intended to be a central index of information about podcasts[1], and some other recap or discussion formats[2], discussing the works of Terry Pratchett. Let us know if we're missing something!

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, prevent spambot access, and to keep the project within scope, this wiki is only editable by approved users. If you make a Pratchett podcast, or otherwise want to help keep the wiki up to date, please 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

We’re currently working on...

  • A backlog of mentions of Pratchett’s work on miscellaneous podcasts. There’s not a lot of these from 2026 here so far!
  • Creating a style guide to document how we do things around here.
  • Starting to add relevant YouTube channels; need to think about formatting for this.
  • Still adding intro paragraphs, blurbs and cover images to the book pages, to give more context for new readers using this wiki.
  • Still adding articles for games and adaptations.
  • Slowly 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.)
