Really great Discworld podcast

Great podcast and interesting discussions about the Discworld books and the lives and work of the interviewees.

Someone Made Me a Podcast

Just listened to this podcast. It’s fascinating hearing writers dig into the aspects they love about this series and how they have influenced them, plus the interview format is very relaxed. It’s just nice to hear people share in something they’re so enthusiastic about and as someone who wants to research Pratchett academically I can tell this will be a potentially useful resource.

You'll love this, or I'll cut me own throat.

Such a fab idea for a show, and Al is a great host, can't recommend this highly enough.
