The work of Garth Ennis comes up a scary amount of times, given I'm not a huge fan, in making the @discworldgnu.bsky.social podcast. PJ and I on 'The Last Hero' gonna face off on the Ennis and Pratchett overlap of things. Should be said mind, Battlefields is proper gold.

I can't sleep. I should be listening to Terry Pratchett on Desert Island Discs because its online. Instead I'm watching Terry Pratchett on a battered video of wobbly panel show, Space Cadets. After midnight I turn into an idiot of a sort.

Oh. I've just learned about the times Discworld advertised 5 minute soups. gmkeros.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/t...

Back in the 90s (starting with Moving Pictures) Terry Pratchett (yet to be knighted) changed his German publisher. A rather radical move in the market for someone who had been published by Heyne fo…

Thank you!
I've been taking my time with, er, Time. And it seems like a book that's best read that way. 130 pages to go. - Andy

New episode goes on Patreon today and we make a few references to this...

Reading THE TRUTH, Pratchett's Discworld book about the introduction of newspapers. It's put me in mind of this scene from Moffat's Press Gang. The first episode after the kids have left school to run their newspaper commercially.

THE TRUTH is a book that visits me where I live and I love it and I'm already doing the head casting.

Thanks everyone who showed up for Andy's first livestream the other night. Plenty of Discworld talking. PJ and I will likely do an official pod live sometime in the future.

Hmm. I suppose there's plenty of better touted side material. We'll be looking at the Guards graphic novel in a while and the Hogfather adaptation both of which I'm pumped for

I've had a few discussions with co-host @pjhart86.bsky.social lately about subjecting myself to The Watch Netflix series. He referenced his post on Reddit which I felt you might like to see, as told from his perspective as a TV industry bod www.reddit.com/r/discworld/...

IME the Discworld fandom is one the loveliest fandoms. Unfortunately there's still toxic folks calling themselves 'fans'. Drink abuser Ade who broke up my dearest relationships, and tonight a pretend-lefty racist. I know enough to know they're fakes. Thanks the rest of u for being just lovely. - AL
