Evolution, Discworld Style (Season 10 Episode 3)
Sir Terry didn’t intend or probably even know that he was going to write 61 Discworld books. Some of the elements that appear in the early books just didn’t work, for reasons you’ll learn when you listen to this episode. Evolution has its casualties, and this week we learn about some of the things that disappeared from the books forever, as well as considering how Sir Terry accomplished this.
Remember that we have two contests going on: The Portal Haiku Contest, and the Name That Show Contest.
The Haiku Contest is your chance to get creative, and to maybe win a custom episode of the Portal just for you. Send you haikus to me at [email protected], and I will read them on the show. I’ll also select three winners from among the entries, and those three winners will each receive their own custom episode. Deadline for entries is September 20th. You aren’t limited to one haiku—send is as many as you’d like.
The Name the Show Contest also has a deadline of September 20th, and as with the Haiku Contest you can send in as many name suggestions as you want. My decision as to the winner will be final, and alas! the winner will have to sign a legal thingie transferring rights to the name to Medieval Gnome Productions.
The goal is simple: to come up with a new name for the show which is more likely to attract Terry Pratchett/Discworld fans and readers. The name does not have to include the word portal. Check the names of other Discworld-related podcasts if you need some inspiration.
The winner of this contest will be announced on October 1st (the last episode for season 10.) The prize for this contest is a copy of the brand-new book, The Ankh-Morpork Archives. The book won’t be published until August 10th, but I have pre-ordered a copy for our lucky contest winner.
So tell me, what should the new name for this show be?
And, PLEASE send me some new questions for Granny! You can ask her anything.
You can send your emails to me at [email protected].
