Our March episode has been delayed. To mark International Women’s Day 2026, here’s a bonus episode in which Ben passes on recommendations of women to read if you like Terry Pratchett – mostly from listeners like you!

You can find all the authors and podcasts mentioned in this episode below. The official home of International Women’s Day is unwomen.org – don’t let Google etc tell you otherwise.

(00:02:41) The Grab Bag – authors recommended by one listener, in alphabetical order

(00:20:05) Liz’s Picks in no particular order – and note you can also read Liz’s own writing!

(00:23:32) Pratchat Guests – also in alphabetical order

(00:25:32) Ben’s Picks – ones also recommended by listeners first

(00:31:25) The Big Ones – authors recommended by multiple listeners, in ascending order of how many recommendations we got for them

(00:44:38) Other Book Podcasts as sources of further recommendations

We’ll be back in April with #Pratchat93, our episode about The Folklore of Discworld – get your questions in now if you haven’t already!
