  • S2E1 - Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being a Witch

    S2E1 - Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being a Witch
    Dec 6 2023
    Episode Notes We were so incredibly pleased to be joined by Gabrielle Kent and Rhianna Pratchett, the co-authors of this new book in the Discworld library. Tiffany's story is one of our favorites, and having both more Tiffany and more witch stuff is just the best. Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being a Witch would make a great holiday present! We're not sure yet of a US release date, so consider buying it directly from The Discworld Emporium or Discworld.com (and if other things just sort of happen to fall into your shopping basket... well, blame the Feegles). If you want to check out the Mythical Creatures series Rhianna mentioned, keep an eye on the BBC Radio Four site as well as BBC Sounds. It looks like it starts airing December 18! Gabrielle Kent is the author of the Alfie Bloom and Knights and Bikes series. She collaborated on the Rani Reports series with her husband as Gabrielle and Satish Shewhorak. Gabrielle lives in the North East of England. She grew up in the 1980’s drawing castles and dragons, reading comics, and playing videogames. In the summers, she ran wild with her brothers and cousins on her Granny’s farm in Galway. Her first job was as a video-game artist working on games for PC, Playstation and XBox. She spent sixteen years as a university lecturer teaching students how to make videogames, and ran and hosted various games and animation festivals along the way. She has always loved exploring castles and in 2006 she visited Castle Coch in Wales. As she looked at a carving of The Fates over one of the fireplaces, an idea for a story crept into her head. When she got home she started typing the story of Alfie Bloom, the boy who inherited a castle and has written many more books since. Rhianna Pratchett has been a professional writer for several years. Having written numerous features and columns on games, movies and books and originally cutting her journalistic teeth on PC Zone magazine and The Guardian newspaper, Rhianna moved into script writing and narrative design in 2002. In 2007 her work on Heavenly Sword was nominated for a BAFTA and a year later she won a Writers’ Guild of Great Britain ’Best Videogame Script’ award for Overlord. Alongside writing for videogames, she has also authored the Tomb Raider: The Beginning comics with Dark Horse and the 6-part Mirror’s Edge miniseries with DC Comics and several of her own short stories. Rhianna has contributed to various books on games narrative including Professional Techniques for Video Game Writing (Edited by: Wendy Despain) and Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames (Edited by: Chris Bateman). She also works with the IGDA Writers’ Special Interest Group, the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain and BAFTA Games to help improve games narrative and the lot of games writers everywhere. Rhianna currently lives in London, with a couple of neurotic tabbies. True to British form, she drinks a lot of tea.

  • S1E42 - The Shepherd's Crown

    S1E42 - The Shepherd's Crown
    Jun 15 2023

    We pare down to the core group for one last trip across the Disc, and Ana and Aaron finally read The Shepherd's Crown. Project wrap-up content starts at around 51:30, although it does continue to include Shepherd's Crown content.

    Thanks to our many guests, but especially to you, our listeners. We would have done it regardless, but we hope that we inspired you to read or re-read Sir Terry's works, and we hope that you thought about things from a new angle.

    We're not done quite yet, so don't delete this feed. More surprises coming soon.

    Mind how you go.

    GNU Terry Pratchett.

  • S1E41 - Raising Steam

    S1E41 - Raising Steam
    May 30 2023

    Steam power comes to the Disc, whether or not the Disc is ready for it. This book, which lays track (ha ha) for many changes in and around Ankh-Morpork, unfortunately instead became a farewell to many beloved characters. We discuss the book, the implications of the railway system, and a little bit of our wishlist for what might have happened... if...

    We are joined by RPG designer Jennifer Adcock, who is, among other things, the designer of the GMless game The Price of Coal. She can be found on twitter at @jenkatwrites. and elsewhere if you're lucky.

    Additionally, if you're not ready to read The Shepherd's Crown yet, mind how you go.
