Other Podcasts
This page indexes episodes of podcasts about the Discworld or Terry Pratchett which aren’t about a specific work, and aren’t from one of the podcasts we index here. If you make a podcast and have made an episode that would fit in here, please let us know!
“Pratchett-ish” podcasts - i.e. ones with regular or frequent Pratchett-related content, but a broader focus - are listed in their own section of the Pratchett Podcasts page.
If you’re looking for podcasts on which Terry himself was a guest, see the Terry Pratchett page for the best list. (Most of them are radio programmes or live appearances later released as podcasts.)
Discworld episodes
These are episodes of podcasts which discuss the Discworld series or universe as a whole. For episodes of general podcasts about a specific Discworld book, short story or adaptation, see the page for that individual work.
