Thanks for the kind words, John! It’s lovely of you to reach out, and we’re so glad you’re enjoying the show.
If you run out of episodes of Pratchat, there are lots of other Pratchett podcasts; you can find most of them at guild.pratchatpodcast.com

Yes…that’s the reason episode 5 is no longer available on Spotify!

Welcome aboard HF! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the show.
We’re not the only or even the first show to do this, though we are the longest-running. Ben has a side project cataloguing others, in case you can’t get enough Pratchett discussion!

Ben has several, all signed during author tours to Australia, mostly in the 90s and early 2000s. A couple are first editions.
In fan circles “Pratchetting” was once used as a verb, meaning to sign copious numbers of books. Hence also the acronym RUC for “rare unsigned copy”!

Same book, same letters, same fictional source. We suspect you know, but just in case:

We did find it odd that Tansy didn’t mention witches in this context, who are far more likely to be both improving the infant mortality rate and preventing (or dealing with) unwanted pregnancies. “Pregnancy” is one of the “problems” in The Witches board game, after all!

Let’s not blame the instrument! Though we will concede there may be instruments better suited to the name…

This is so good! Thank you for sharing it. Such great detail for a relatively small piece too!
