Pratchat - a Terry Pratchett and Discworld book club

23

Join writer Elizabeth Flux and comedian Ben McKenzie on their six(ish) year mission to read every Terry Pratchett novel – not just the Discworld ones! They’ll read one a month, and discuss them with special guests, puns and footnotes. Episodes released on the 8th of each month (Australian time); check pratchatpodcast.com and the end of each episode for notice of the next book, and send in questions to us via social media! The explicit tag represents a fairly average Australian level of coarse language.

    Must listen!
    I love this podcast! So well produced, funny, and insightful.
  • boocdddd
    So good
    I love this podcast— it is funny, thoughtful and full of insights into the books I love so much. I never had time to listen before but now that I have been in quarantine for weeks, this podcast has been a wonderful diversion. Well done.
  • Bernjamern
    Finally!
    Not many people will tolerate me talking at length about Discworld, so this podcast has become my friend. Is this sad? Probably.
  • Proff622
    A Discworld Book Club!
    An excellent podcast analyzing and deconstructing each of the Discworld books. Great chemistry between the hosts! Keep them coming!

    Love it
    Wonderful podcast, like being part of a book club that you always wanted to attend, but was never available in your area. Appreciate the attention to detail that the hosts bring to both the show itself and show notes, and their efforts to keep things fresh by bringing on different guests. Also enjoy the whimsical footnotes interjected throughout. As an individual stuck in an area of the world woefully lacking in Pratchett appreciation, I can say that this podcast is definitely a breath of fresh air.
