Publisher Description
Melissa Diaz and Clay Foreman boldly go where no nerds have gone before in this deep dive into Terry Pratchett's Discworld Universe and beyond
Further Information
Format
- A casual discussion in the “gabcast” style - i.e. it's a largely unedited recording of a conversation with no particular structure or attempt to stick to topic.
- The hosts often stray into “edgy” territory. One version of episode four’s description notes that it discusses suicide.
Trivia
- Some episodes spend a lot of time on general chat before they get to the book, while some get there a lot quicker.
- Episodes five through seven were, according to the numbering in the media filenames, released in reverse order. This might make sense of the reading order.
Hosts
- Melissa Diaz - a stand-up comedian based in the Bronx, New York; not clear if she's read Discworld before
- Clay Foreman - a French Canadian from Nova Scotia; an existing Discworld fan, who is choosing which books they read
