Further Information
Format
- Each episode has unique cover art, designed by Nigel.
- Tessa and Nigel individually rank the books within a sub-series, rather than overall. They rank the Rincewind and Witches novels in episode 23, having read up to Carpe Jugulum.
Trivia
- Arose from Tessa's appearance on Hyperfixations, one of Nigel's other podcasts, where she talked about Discworld.
- Started out doing their own order of the books, but as of around episode 15 seem to have settled into publication order.
Hosts
- Tessa Swehla - American PhD student studying English Literature, and long-time Pratchett fan.
- Nigel - Irish podcaster who is (mostly) new to the Discworld; before the podcast had only read The Long Earth series series and the Tiffany Aching books.
