Publisher Description

The Diskworld Reviewed and Taken under the Loop.

Further Information

The Pratchett Podcast is no longer available in its entirety. The final thirty episodes can be found in podcast directories and at the talkshoe site; the original WordPress blog has the first fifteen episodes. The ones in between seem lost to time.

Format

Early episodes are mostly reviews of adaptations and novels, though sometimes one of the hosts is a book behind and submits their thoughts about it the subsequent month.
Later episodes primarily feature a review, accompanied by a reading if reviewing a book, but also several recurring segments:
- "Ankh-Morpork Times" - a round-up of current Discworld and Pratchett-related news
- "New Members of the Watch" - in which host Graeme reads out the names of new members of The Pratchett Podcast Facebook group
- "Clacks" - a letters segment in which the hosts read out emails and other messages sent in by listeners; sometimes known as "Colin's Clacks", as the main and often only correspondent is Colin, who sends in sometimes lengthy reviews of his own.
- "Fool's Guild" - reviews of Pratchett and Discworld-related entertainment, including play productions, musical albums and more
- "Small Gods Cemetery"

Trivia

To be added.

Hosts

Graeme Sheridan - creator of The Professor How Parody Podcast, a Doctor Who...er...parody podcast.^[1] Host of the show all the way to its last episode.
Rhys Parton - host of the Who is the Man podcast, also about Doctor Who.^[1] Co-host of the early episodes; only a very infrequent contributor from around episode 33 onwards.
