Publisher Description

A weekly interview podcast about the works of Terry Pratchett and the people who read them, with host Al Kennedy. One guest, one book, four elephants, one turtle.

Further Information

Format

  • Host Al asks the episode's guest which Terry Pratchett book they would like to take with them if they were stuck on a desert island, and discusses it with them in an informal chat which is also an interview about their life and work.
  • The podcast is released in seasons of six episodes, though later seasons have seven or eight episodes; the additional ones are the result of goals reached by the podcast's Patreon campaign.

Trivia

  • The title (and to a lesser extent the format) is inspired by the long-running BBC Radio program Desert Island Discs. Its opposite number is Room 101.
  • The podcast's tagline is also drawn from the BBC original, which describes the things guests (referred to as "castaways") can take with them: "Eight tracks,[1] a book and a luxury: what would you take to a desert island? Guests share the soundtrack of their lives."
