Technical Notes

The RSS feed for this podcast was re-purposed in January 2021 for Pterry Ptalk, making the original fourteen episodes unavailable. Dates here are guesses based on timestamps of Twitter and Tumblr posts about the original episodes.

Trivia

  • By far the earliest Discworld podcast. For context, the first show reasonably described as a podcast was published in 2003, and the word podcast was coined in 2004.
  • Details for The Turtle Moves are difficult to come by. As was often the case for early podcasts, there's no dedicated website. Links to the episodes were posted on the Tumblr and Twitter feeds manually after they were published.
  • Not to be confused with The Turtle Moves Podcast! by "Dr. Possumhead Jones" launched in October 2021. That podcast, also released as an album, is inspired by the Church of the SubGenius and is not Discworld-related.
