HMM, I know I'm technically 4 days late. But considering the general weather conditions around here right now, I believe it's the perfect time to start reading "hogfather" for the first time. 🎅 #discworld #pratchat

Two bits of news this morning folks. The first is that #Pratchat is now on #YouTube!

It’s turned into a major #podcast platform, especially now Google Podcasts is shutting down.

If that’s how you like to listen to audio, every episode is up there now:

Hello there! #Introduction time.

We are #Pratchat, a #TerryPratchett #book club #podcast. Each month we* discuss one of Pratchett’s books, short stories or other works with a special guest - and we aim to cover all of them, not just the #Discworld ones!

We’re new to Mastodon, but chatting with our listeners has been a big part of the show since we started back in 2017.

Find us in all the pod places, or at https://pratchatpodcast.com

* Hosts @elizabethflux & @McKenzie_Ben.

Pratchat*

Writer Elizabeth Flux and comedian Ben McKenzie are on a six(ish) year mission to read and discuss every Terry Pratchett book, one a month, with special guests.

The latest episode of #Pratchat, my #TerryPratchett book club podcast, discusses the thirty-fourth #Discworld book, Thud! It's a big book with a lot of plot, and we try to cover a lot of ground. We didn't get to everything we wanted, so we're planning to revisit it in the near future.

I mentioned I make a Terry Pratchett book club podcast, #Pratchat - and we released a new episode yesterday! Still feeling out the etiquette here so this is behind a CW.
In this bonus ep I play and discuss the first #Discworld board game, Thud, with guest academic and professional nerd, @melissainau.
We have a unique hashtag for each episode for@discussions; this one is #PratchatPlaysThud.

We're sixty! Sixty episodes, that is. So we're once again skipping the reading part of the book club to answer a tonne of your questions. We talk everything from villains to birds to poking corpses, making our own dresses and owning a living bicycle. And of course: books.

I just realised I’ve not done a proper #introduction - or a “things I’m interested in” post!
So: I’m Ben. I’m an actor, writer, game designer, educator, nerd and ginger based in Melbourne, Australia.
You might know me from such things as the live D&D impro show #DungeonCrawl, the time travel radio comedy #NightTerrace, or the podcasts #Pratchat (a Terry Pratchett book club) and #SplendidChaps (a live 50th anniversary celebration of #DoctorWho).
I’m not the Ben McKenzie you might know from the TV show Gotham; he’s the one writing a book about celebrity and cryptocurrency.
