A perfect podcast

I can’t believe I’ve only just come across this, and have been overjoyed at getting to binge 26 episodes at once. What a gorgeous podcast! It’s funny, gentle, thoughtful, with a brilliant range of guests — I’ve been fascinated by each one’s story, even those I’d not heard of before, and have picked up loads of new games, books, and other bits and pieces to follow along the way.

This has all made me think about the Discworld novels in so much depth, and from angles that I hadn't previously. It’s a wonderful thing to experience this for stories that I’ve ready so many times and love so much. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in Terry Pratchett’s work in particular, and storytelling in general.
