Further Information

The Pratchett Podcast is no longer available in its entirety. The final thirty episodes can be found in podcast directories and at the talkshoe site; the original WordPress blog has the first fifteen episodes. The ones in between seem lost to time.

Format

  • Early episodes are mostly reviews of adaptations and novels, though sometimes one of the hosts is a book behind and submits their thoughts about it the subsequent month.
  • Later episodes primarily feature a review, accompanied by a reading if reviewing a book, but also several recurring segments:
    • "Ankh-Morpork Times" - a round-up of current Discworld and Pratchett-related news
    • "New Members of the Watch" - in which host Graeme reads out the names of new members of The Pratchett Podcast Facebook group
    • "Clacks" - a letters segment in which the hosts read out emails and other messages sent in by listeners; sometimes known as "Colin's Clacks", and featuring only correspondence from on listener (er...Colin)
    • "Fool's Guild" - reviews of Pratchett and Discworld-related entertainment, including play productions, Wintersmith (Steeleye Span album) and others
    • "Small Gods Cemetery"

Trivia

To be added.

Hosts

  • Graeme Sheridan - creator of The Professor How Parody Podcast, a Doctor Who...er...parody podcast.[1] Host of the show all the way to its last episode.
  • Rhys Parton - host of the Who is the Man podcast, also about Doctor Who.[1] Co-host of the early episodes; only an infrequent contributor from around episode 33 onwards.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 As described in the introductory post on the podcast's original WordPress site. The links to the other podcasts are sadly dead.
  2. ↑ Sort by this column to get episodes in series publication order. Discworld books have just a number. Other series have a letter prefix: "B" for the Bromeliad and "J" for Johnny Maxwell.
  3. ↑ Includes clips from various radio programs memorialising Terry in the week or so after his death.
  4. ↑ The episode description is mistakenly copied from the previous episode and says this episode's review is The Last Hero, but it's Johnny and the Dead.
