Publisher Description

On the first, second, and third Friday of every month, it’s Tales From the Drum — the Mended Drum, that is. We also bring you three-minute long mini-episodes, cleverly entitled Pratchips (like potato chips, see?) every Monday-Thursday. All of these are (usually) about the places, spaces, races, and other words that end in aces of the Discworld, that pizza-shaped place (but no anchovies) that rides through space on the backs of the massive elephants Tubul, Berilia, Jerakeen and Great T’Phon, which themselves stand atop the 10,000 mile-long world Turtle, A’Tuin. (According to the dwarfs, there was once a Fifth Elephant, which slipped of A’Tuin’s carapace and crashed into the Disc. But the dwarfs can be funny that way.) Obviously, a place such as this could exist only every normal curve must have its outliers, where the fabric of reality is thin, and magic is an everyday—well, reality. Of course, it was actually the late Sir Terry Pratchett, OBE, who created the Discworld. He chronicled those places, spaces, etc. in 41 Discworld novels. In 500 years, he will probably be the only 20th-century author who is still being read. Seriously. He was that good. He was also incredibly prolific. In a span of 32 years, he wrote 70 books. They’ve sold northward of 50 million copies, last I saw. He was knighted in 2008 by Queen Elizabeth II. Sir Terry passed away in 2015 from a rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s disease. GNU Terry Pratchett. If you don’t understand that, you can find out about it in Going Postal. Also, il miglior fabbro. That’s from T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land.” But you knew that. Thanks for listening — and mind how you go! GNU Terry Pratchett

Further Information

Format

  • Typical episodes were just under 20 minutes long, and close with a Discworld trivia question.
  • The podcast was released in seasons of ten episodes, most using a relatively loose theme. There was often little or no break between seasons.
  • Most seasons had at least one bonus episode, usually featuring Randy talking about non-Discworld subjects (which he sometimes referred to as "birdwalking") or commenting on a previous episode. There was a plan for these to be exclusive to Patreon subscribers, but this doesn't seem to have been the case.
  • Two series of related episodes also popped up in the same podcast feed:
    • The Portal's Pratchett Passages, or P^3 for short, are readings from Discworld books. Episodes vary from 14 to 36 minutes long.[1]
    • Pratchips are mini-episodes, usually under 3 minutes long, describing very specific bits of Discworld lore, like a single creature, character or location. According to the first episode, these were inspired by "an Australian heavyweight in podcasting/broadcasting" who predicted very short episodes would be the future of podcasts.[2]

Trivia

  • This podcast has gone by many names. It was originally The Discworld Portal until September 2020. It was briefly The Mystery Portal, then Ponder's Wizardly Portal, before settling on The Witches and Wizards Portal for a few seasons, though the second anniversary episode (during season nine) mentions the name The Modern Fantasy Portal. In October 2021, at the start of season 11, it changed name to Tales From the Drum. Randy's hinted at the start of season seven, and explicitly confirmed in the second episode of season ten, that he was asked by Dunmanifestin Ltd in September 2020 to change the name and cover art. (Like many early Discworld podcasts, and one or two current ones, it originally re-used art from the books.) He asked listeners for name suggestions on more than one occasion. This blog post and episode notes for seasons ten and eleven suggest the other name changes may also have been partly motivated by copyright concerns, though changing from The Wizards and Witches Portal to Tales from the Drum was a move to find something Discworld fans would recognise.
  • Host Randy has two tortoiseshell rescue cats, or "torties", named Holly and Ivy; he considers them part of Medieval Gnome Productions. The mindkindle.net website has no fewer than three pages dedicated to them, including plenty of photos. (You're welcome.)
  • As of mid-2022, the podcast seems to have mostly vanished; mindekindle.net is still there, but the show has disappeared from its podcast host Buzzsprout, and the Facebook, Patreon and Discord communities all seem to be deactivated or deleted. Only the YouTube channel remains, but it only has four of the full episodes and half a dozen compilations of the short "Pratchips" ones. At least some episodes appear to be cached on Spotify, but since the main RSS feed is unavailable that seems like a temporary situation. As a result we've currently listed the show as unavailable.

Hosts

  • The Medieval Gnome (Randy Paulin) - host, editor and producer of all episodes. According to his Podchaser bio, a retired teacher and an historian, avid gamer, cat lover, and Terry Pratchett fanatic from Moscow, Idaho.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ These P^3 episodes might constitute a breach of copyright, as they present extracts without commentary or review. We're not experts, though.
  2. ↑ We're pretty sure that's a reference to this interview with Jaime Chaux, Head of Digital at Commercial Radio Australia, from 28 June 2021 - about a week before the first Pratchips episode.
  3. ↑ The season number, if part of the main podcast.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 The episode numbering goes a bit haywire during season three; for example, two bonus episodes are also given a regular number, one or two full episodes have no number, and there's no episode five. Episode descriptions mention the number of episodes, which agree with our tally, so we've just presented them mostly as they were. This footnote appears where we've made a few tweaks.
  5. ↑ Was known for one episode by the placeholder name "The Mystery Portal".
  6. ↑ Date of last published Pratchips episode
  7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 Last published podcast episode; this was a repeat of the first season four episode, "Life in Ankh-Morpork".
  8. ↑ 8.0 8.1 Episodes are no longer available, except for a small number that were re-published to YouTube.
  9. ↑ The episode description says the walking tour is the one described in The Compleat Ankh-Morpork.
  10. ↑ This episode is marked as number 31.
  11. ↑ This episode was 13 seconds long, and seems to have been literally just Randy saying Terry's name and the details of his birth and death. The episode number refers to Terry's birthday - the 28th of April.
  12. ↑ Not a typo; this episode revisits the title and theme from season 3 episode 4.
  13. ↑ This bloopers reel is marked as episode 1 of season 78, presumably to show it comes in between seasons 7 and 8. The count of 89 episodes matches our count if the Portal's Pratchett Passages episodes are included. (This and the following episode are counted under season 7 for the purposes of our season summary table.)
  14. ↑ Granny is explicitly placed as speaking just after Maskerade, and speaks about becoming a witch, dealing with Death, Borrowing and headology.
  15. ↑ Identified by Randy as episode 102, which tallies with our count if you include the 10 PPP episodes.
  16. ↑ Bonus episode; numbered 101, identified in audio as episode 105. Neither tallies with our count.
  17. ↑ Labelled episode 10, but seems intended to be a bonus episode.
  18. ↑ From this point regular episodes have season and episode numbers in the title, to differentiate them from the PratChips mini-episodes.
  19. ↑ Noted as "the 175th and final time" the Portal has opened; this includes the released PratChips episodes up to this point.
