We're changing the way we represent episodes of podcasts that use book titles as episode titles. Instead of using an abbreviation - like "TCD 33" for {{TCD}} episode 33, about {{MR}} - we're going to use the title as presented, but link to an article which has the podcast abbreviation in brackets - e.g. {{MR|tcd}}. The book shortcut template has been updated to make this easy, and we're working on updating existing listings. If we decide not to go ahead with articles for individual episodes (which seems likely given the amount of work that would be), these will be easily replaced with just the name of the book.

* Removing "hosts" columns from episode listings on podcast pages. Those tables already get quite wide, and we want them to be more readable on mobile! We'll summarise that information, where appropriate, in the separate Hosts section.
* Removing wiki links to individual episodes - we’ve made the call not to create articles for them. To help facilitate this, we’ve updated the [[Template:BookShortcut|BookShortcut template]] with an “ep” flag, to easily add a book’s unlinked title in quotation marks.

Welcome to the Guild of Recappers & Podcasters!

This wiki is intended to be a central index of information about podcasts[1] discussing the works of Terry Pratchett. Let us know if we're missing one!

For annotations and information about those works, see the L-Space wiki, where the basic index started out life on the Podcasts page.

To reduce moderation overhead, and to keep the project within scope, the wiki is currently only editable by approved users. If you make a Pratchett podcast or otherwise want to help keep the wiki up to date, request an account!

Pages to start with

Things we need

  • Wanted Pages - these are pages that are linked to in the wiki, but don't yet exist
  • Wanted Categories - categories for pages which don't have explanatory text

Currently working on...

  • Adding blurbs and cover images to the book pages, to give a bit more context for new readers using this wiki.
  • Removing "hosts" columns from episode listings on podcast pages. Those tables already get quite wide, and we want them to be more readable on mobile! We'll summarise that information, where appropriate, in the separate Hosts section.
  • Removing wiki links to individual episodes - we’ve made the call not to create articles for them. To help facilitate this, we’ve updated the BookShortcut template with an “ep” flag, to easily add a book’s unlinked title in quotation marks.

Footnotes

  1. A podcast is an episodic audio or video program published on the web and indexed by an RSS feed. We might also add other recap or discussion formats like YouTube channels, blogs and so on. Get in touch if you want to be included!
