Publisher Description
Join writer Elizabeth Flux and comedian Ben McKenzie on their six[1] year mission to read every Terry Pratchett novel[2], 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.
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.
Hosts
- Elizabeth Flux - a writer based in Melbourne, Australia. Co-host of all episodes and a master of the pune, or play on words.
- Ben McKenzie - a performer, writer and game designer based in Melbourne, Australia. Co-host for all episodes, and also the editor and producer for the podcast. Notable for groaning at Liz's puns.
