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!

Wrong in the Start Place (Terry Pratchett Day 2024)
In an emergency replacement episode, Ben flies solo...sort of! In honour of the Terry Pratchett Day theme for 2024, "Start in the Wrong Place", he's sharing listener's stories of how they started reading Pratchett in the "wrong" place.

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!
Customer Reviews
Must listen!
I love this podcast! So well produced, funny, and insightful.
LOVE
I found Discworld/Pratchett as an adult, so it's fun to have someone else to hear talk about them! I love hearing the different perspectives on the books, both among the different hosts/guests and the new perspectives that they have since the first time they read the books as kids!
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.
