Eeek Club 2024 (subscriber questions)

Pratchat - a Terry Pratchett and Discworld book club

It’s the 25th of May, which can only mean one thing: Geek Pride Day! Or Towel Day. Or the Glorious 25th of May and the Battle of Treacle Mine Road…okay, that’s three things. Why not add one more? This is the Pratchat Eeek Club: a bonus episode discussing Terry Pratchett-related topics selected by our “Eeek” tier subscribers.

This year, the topics are:

• So it’s been a few years of the Podcast. How are you guys holding up?
• How could one Discworld character use their skills and influence to change the patriarchal nature of the Disc?
• What is an unwritten Discworld story for you, e.g. maybe a head canon of a specific character, or a general arc of how things came into being or changed on the Disc?
• Why no gays? (On the Discworld.)
• Like learning how to not use magic is the whole point of magic, what have you had to learn not to do to make your life easier/better?
• What other storylines – other than The Watch – would you like to see turned into a television show?

A big thank you to all our subscribers for making Pratchat possible, but especially to this year’s Eeek Club contributors: Graham, Karl, Jing, the Caths, Jess and Ellie, Stephanie, Nathan and those we didn’t hear from.

You’ll find notes and errata for this episode on our website.
