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.
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).
Note that The Turtle Reads has no dedicated website so the external links below are directly to the audio file for each episode.

Footnotes
- ↑ Sort by this column to see episodes in Discworld publication order.
- ↑ This episode seems to have been re-posted 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, but that version doesn't appear in all directories (for example, it doesn’t appear to be available on Spotify). Also, a content warning - the revised episode’s description says it contains discussion of suicide.
