7 de outubro de 2026 · 3 h 15 min

Notas do episódio

Terry Pratchett is one of the world's most beloved authors - writing humorous fantasy and science fiction including his Discworld series - but his life is just as fascinating, which is why he was voted for by the listeners to be our first topic for BLOCKtober 2026!


This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 11:29 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
