I have a copy of this book, and have read it, but it's the least "sticky" Pratchett I've read. Why do I feel that a book about the faculty of Bugarup University playing Fourecksian Rules Football would be more memorable? Did Pterry really fail to make soccer even slightly interesting? #pratchat83

We don’t regret reading Pratchett’s work out of order, but we know many folks would like to listen to the Discworld novel episodes in publication order.

Now you can! #Pratchat83 filled in the last gap (so far; we’ve read everything up to I Shall Wear Midnight), so we created this YouTube playlist:

Pratchat United have added some real talent to the conversation by fielding @tansyrr.bsky.social.

The Listeners look set to push for extra time with a barrage of skilful questions.

Lots of excitement in this, #TerryPratchett’s 37th #Discworld match, UNSEEN ACADEMICALS! #Pratchat83

Death and Sal (the little girl Bill Door shared a life time with in Reaper Man) #pratchat83. I have no idea how they would do, but I would love to see that interaction now that Sal is an adult.

Our next episode is about a #Discworld book!

We’ll be recording a discussion with @tansyrr.bsky.social in the Hogswatch period between Christmas and the New Year about #TerryPratchett’s Unseen Academicals.

Get your questions in now! #Pratchat83

We didn’t *plan* for our discussion of the longest #Discworld novel to be our longest ever episode, way over our usual intended time limit, but, well… Let’s just say it went into extra time.

You’ll understand when #Pratchat83 comes out tomorrow.

Okay #pratchat83 what is happening at the very, very end of Unseen Academicals? This is based on a possibly False memory of the audiobook and I don’t have my own copy but I think the last line of the book is spoken by an unfamiliar voice saying something like “now it is”. #pterry

If you enjoyed #Pratchat83, where @tansyrr.bsky.social joined us to talk about Unseen Academicals, you’ll love her new essay about wizard celibacy on the #Discworld in @speculativeinsight.bsky.social!
