This is the master list of Terry Pratchett, Discworld and Good Omens podcasts for this wiki. We might also add articles to the wiki for other podcasts related to these ones, but they won't be listed here. To see all podcasts with articles at the Guild, see the [[:Category:Podcasts|Podcasts category]].
This is the master list of [[Terry Pratchett]], [[Discworld]] and {{GOTV}} podcasts for this wiki. "Pratchett-ish" podcasts are in a separate table at the bottom of this page. We're also working on some [[List of Other Podcasts|lists of other podcasts]] with episodes about these topics, and all the podcasts with their own articles here will appear in the [[:Category:Podcasts|Podcasts category]].
 
The table is sortable; the default order is active and complete podcasts by launch date, then inactive or unavailable ones, also by launch date.

! Abbr.<ref>A template with this abbreviated name has been set up to allow for quickly linking to this podcast. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. <nowiki>{{RMP}}</nowiki> will produce {{RMP}}. Where a podcast's title or obvious abbreviation would conflict with that of a book, the book is given precedence and a "P" (for "podcast") is appended to the end, as in WSP, DCP and UAP. Note that the various {{GOTV}} recap shows have been abbreviated with GO and the initials of company that made them, to hopefully make it a bit easier to distinguish them from each other.</ref>

This is the master list of Terry Pratchett, Discworld and Good Omens podcasts for this wiki. "Pratchett-ish" podcasts are in a separate table at the bottom of this page. We're also working on some lists of other podcasts with episodes about these topics, and all the podcasts with their own articles here will appear in the Podcasts category.

The table is sortable; the default order is active and complete podcasts by launch date, then inactive or unavailable ones, also by launch date.

Podcast Status

We try to update the status of the podcasts regularly; check the footnote on each table to see when it was last updated.

Here's an explanation of what our statuses mean:

  • “Active” means the podcast is in production and new episodes are being released.
  • “Complete” indicates the podcast has achieved its specific goal (e.g. discussing every Discworld book) or otherwise officially ended.
  • “Inactive” means the podcast is not currently in production as far as we can tell.
  • “Unavailable” means the podcast's episodes are no longer available from a public RSS feed or other reliably accessible source.

We usually wait a few months before marking a show as inactive; life takes precedence over podcasting for most fancasts, after all![16] Note that podcasts can and do return from long hiatuses, but a span of longer than six months off-air is rare, especially if the show is not well established.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 We use the original publication date of the first episode, not including trailers. Most podcasts have an introductory "episode zero"; those count!
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 As of 14 August 2023.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 A template with this abbreviated name has been set up to allow for quickly linking to this podcast. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. {{RMP}} will produce Radio Morpork. For more details, see Template:BookShortcut.
  4. ↑ Spotify rebranded their free hosting service Anchor as Spotify Podcasts, but since we want to make it clear these are links to the podcasts’ official page and not just their listing in Spotify, we’re leaving the Anchor links in place until they don’t work.
  5. ↑ After “compleating” the novels with their The Shepherd's Crown episode in June 2023, The Compleat Discography started a second season covering other Discworld works, kicking off with an episode about Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch. No further episodes have been released so far.
  6. ↑ Switched from Sounder to Anchor in early 2023.
  7. ↑ It's difficult to date The Turtle Moves episodes, but 2008 is probably accurate, making it a pretty early podcast. See the show's page for more.
  8. ↑ Only the last thirty or so episodes are still available.
