Our Monstrous Regiment episode won’t be ready until later in the month, but we didn’t want to let International Women’s Day (www.unwomen.or...) pass without some kind of comment. So here’s a mini episode in your feed recommending some other Pratchett and Discworld podcasts hosted by women and non-binary folks.
Here’s a list of the Discworld podcasts Ben mentioned:
• The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret (thetruthshallm...) , hosted by Francine Carrel and Joanna Hagan. They covered Monstrous Regiment over three episodes in April 2023: “[REDACTED] (thetruthshallm...) ”, “The Implication of Hippo (thetruthshallm...) ” and “Gender is a Fake Drug (thetruthshallm...) ”. You can support them on Patreon ( / thetruthshallmakeyefret ) .
• Disc Coverers (podcasters.spo...) , hosted by Iris Jay, Grace Lovelace, Balina Mahigan, and Juniper Theory.
• Nanny Ogg’s Book Club (nannyoggsbookc...) , hosted by Tessa Swelha and Nigel. Their Monstrous Regiment episode (nannyoggsbookc...) was in September 2023.

Our April episode, #Pratchat77, will be with guest Laura Jean McKay, author of The Animals in That Country. We’ll be discussing the short stories “Hollywood Chickens” from A Blink of the Screen, and “From the Horse’s Mouth” from A Stroke of the Pen. An earlier version of “From the Horse’s Mouth” is “Johnno, the Talking Horse”, which was collected in The Time-Travelling Caveman and Other Stories, and in deluxe editions of The Witch’s Vacuum Cleaner and Other Stories.
