Footnotes

  1. The podcast has no dedicated website, so we've linked directly to the audio files for each episode.
  2. Sort by this column to see episodes in Discworld publication order.
  3. This seems to be a re-post of the previous Small Gods episode, with the new theme song added to the start. It doesn’t appear to be available on Spotify. Also, a content warning - the revised episode’s description says it contains discussion of suicide.
  4. This episode seems only available on Spotify.
