Pratchat is a podcast from Splendid Chaps Productions in which hosts Elizabeth Flux and Ben McKenzie are embarking on a six (ish) year mission to read every Terry Pratchett novel[1], one a month, and discuss them with special guests.[2]
Episodes are released on the 8th (or 7Ath) of each month,[3] and are anywhere between 90 minutes and two and half hours long. We follow the plot of the book from start to finish, but we don’t let that stop us from following the discussion wherever it may go. This approach means each episode contains major spoilers for the book it is discussing, though we’ll try and keep spoilers for other books to a minimum. We also have footnotes! They’re added in post-production to clarify or comment on the discussion without derailing it in the moment.
Pratchat was nominated for the Ditmar Award for “Best Fan Publication in Any Medium” in 2019 and 2021.
Footnotes
- ↑ We really mean this – it’s not just the Discworld ones! We’ll also try and cover his most significant short stories, some of his non-fiction writing, collections of his short work for children, and who knows what else...
- ↑ There will also be the occasional bonus and live episodes to cover things like the television adaptations of his work, the Discworld boardgames, and events like the Australian Discworld Convention, Nullus Anxietas. Hopefully we can find some shortcuts through L-Space...
- ↑ According to local Melbourne time. As we release them in the morning, to some listeners (and indeed major podcast directories) it may appear episodes are being released on the 7th, but this is Incorrect.
