Join writer Elizabeth Flux and comedian Ben McKenzie on their six* year mission to read every Terry Pratchett novel**, one a month, and discuss them with special guests, puns, listener questions and footnotes! Plus we also cover short stories, nonfiction, games and adaptations. Episodes are released on the 7Ath of each month; the next book is listed at pratchatpodcast.com and announced at the end of each episode. Send in questions via Twitter or Facebook!
The explicit tag represents a fairly average Australian level of coarse language.

** Not just the Discworld ones!

Real Men Don’t Drink...Decaf (Monstrous Regiment)
'Pon our souls, we are not a boastin' podcast, but we reckon this episode with Freya Daly Sadgrove discussing Terry Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment is a First Blast of Discworld goodness! You are our little listeners, and we will look after you.

The First News Blast (Discworld book and RPG news)
Our monster-sized Monstrous Regiment episode needs a bit more time in the oven, so to tide you over here’s Ben with some nerdy news of Discworld books and games!

A Monstrous Delay (IWD bonus mini-episode)
We were quite excited that our Monstrous Regiment episode would land on International Women’s Day...only it won’t! So here’s a bonus mini-episode recommending some other Discworld podcasts hosted by women and non-binary folks.

...And That Spells Trouble (Guards! Guards! board game)
Dr Melissa Rogerson returns and joins Liz and Ben in a game of squabbling guilds, missing spells and the terrifying pitter patter of hundreds of tiny feet... It’s time to play the revised 2012 edition of Leonard Boyd and David Brashaw’s Guards! Guards! A Discworld Board Game, based on the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett.

Hogswitch (with Rhianna Pratchett and Gabrielle Kent)
Hogswatch isn’t just for Christmas - it’s also for new year’s eve! Which is also over. But we recorded this a while ago, and anyway this is a very special HogsWITCH, because Liz and Ben skip discussing a Terry Pratchett book to instead interview none other than the authors of Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch: Rhianna Pratchett and Gabrielle Kent!

This Christmas Goes to Eleven (Father Christmas’ Fake Beard)
On the eighth of December Pratchat gave to me:
Eleven season's stories,
Four silly Santas,
Two carol chronicles,
No special guests,
And a full Prod-Ye-A'Diddle Oh!
Join Liz and Ben as they unwrap Terry Pratchett’s 2017 short story collection, Father Christmas' Fake Beard.
