An Australian heavyweight in podcasting/broadcasting recently said he sees podcasts going to about 3 minutes in 5 years or so. I have a hard time seeing that happening, and who knows? He may have been engaging in an elaborate leg-pull. But, whether he was or not, it sounds like a fun thing to try.
Therefore we present, for your edification and amusement, short Portal episodes, or (you guessed it!) Shorttalls. (N.b. Shorttalls are a supplement to the regular Portal episodes. The are not a replacement. Some other cool things may be happening with them in future, too.
A crucial question for Pratchett fans is how to encourage Pratchett-ignorant, or even Pratchett-resistant friends or family to join the congregation. This Shorttall addresses that issue.
If you have thoughts about Shorttalls, in general or germane to this first one, please shoot me an email at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you; I will answer you; and if you are a first-time emailer I’ll include a recording of the Clacks episode with my reply. That’s the only way you can get a copy of the Clacks episode, short of using a second email addy and a fake name!
