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.
