It’s the Disc, Kin, but not as we know it! There’s a giant turtle, but no giant elephants. There’s a Broken Drum, but it’s in a space station. And there’s something wrong with the sky - but that’s partly our fault, we crashed our spaceship into it... EJ Mann joins Liz and Ben to talk all about Terry Pratchett’s third novel, 1981’s Strata.

Historical superheroes! Explicit Jesus allegories! Big Dumb Objects! Yes, it’s another typical adventure in the Long Earth. Isn’t it? Find out as Deanne Sheldon-Collins joins Liz and Ben for a long chat about the penultimate Long Earth novel, 2015’s The Long Utopia.

Ben fills in the Gap to our delayed Long Utopia episode with a quick recap of the previous three books in the series.

Due to an Act of Glod, we've had to delay our Strata episode to later in the month. To get us there, Ben has engaged the Matrix drive and headed...Elsewhere. Specifically, into two areas Pratchat has never gone: current news from the world of Pratchett, and an interview with Danny Sag from the Australian Discworld Convention!

If you don't know why we're making this Bonus Episode of Pratchat, then you weren't there at Treacle Mine Road...but that's okay!

You can still join us for our third annual discussion of topics chosen by our Eeek tier subscribers, in celebration of the Glorious 25th of May.

How do you solve a problem like a sick pig? Or a death? Or an invasion of elves? Send in the trainee witches! Steve Lamattina joins us to play and talk Martin Wallace’s second official Discworld board game, The Witches from 2013.

What do you call a witch finder with no eyes? You don’t call him - he calls you. And it’s not pleasant...

Tiffany Aching is back, and this time, the whole world might just turn against her...except of course for Elizabeth Flux, Ben McKenzie and guest author Amie Kaufman, as they discuss I SHALL WEAR MIDNIGHT.

You can take the author out of the newspaper, but you can't take the nonfiction writer out of the journalist... Which is to say, in this first foray into his 2014 nonfiction collection A Slip of the Keyboard, author and publisher Peter M Ball joins us to talk about four pieces about fandom and genre from the book’s first section, “A Scribbling Intruder” - as well Plus we look at what Terry and his mate Neil Gaiman had to say about each other in print!

March, 1973. Pink Floyd release Dark Side of the Moon. The first computer with a graphical user interface and mouse, the Xerox Alpha, goes on sale. Andre the Giant wrestles in his first match in America. And in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, the Bucks Free Press publishes the first parts of "Rincemangle, the Gnome of Even Moor”... Now, fifty years later, we discuss one of those events with guest comedy writer, podcaster and author, Andy Matthews!

Order, order! We call this 63rd monthly meeting of the Committee for Discussing Every Terry Pratchett Novel to order! Present are Elizabeth Flux, Ben McKenzie, and Matt Roden. On the agenda: the 2005 short story "A Collegiate Casting-Out of Devlish Devices", and some carry-over items deferred from our 61st meeting, consisting of more questions about the novel Thud! Now where are those biscuits...
