Pratchat - a Terry Pratchett and Discworld book club Podcast

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. * ...ish. ** Not just the Discworld ones!

    Unalive from Überwald (“Death and What Comes Next")

    What’s got four legs, exists in a state of uncertainty, and probably contains quantum? The deathbed of a philosopher - though not for long, if a certain anthropomorphic personification has his way... Tansy Rayner Roberts and Karen J Carlisle join us live for this very special episode recorded live or dead (you’ll have to open the podcast to find out) at Nullus Anxietas IX in Adelaide, all about stories, Death and Terry Pratchett's final Death story, 2002’s “Death and What Comes Next”.

    How to Get Below in Advertising (“The Hades Business”)

    Did a thirteen year old sell his soul to be published alongside Michael Moorock, Mervyn Peake and Harry Harrison? Or was just a genius? Lucas Testro joins us to find out as we travel back to 1963 for Terry Pratchett's first ever published story, "The Hades Business"!
