And the Winner is... (Introduction to the show)

Welcome to Pratchat! In this special 10-minute introductory episode, Liz and Ben talk about their first Pratchett experiences, introduce the Discworld, and put forward their cases for which book they should read first, Mort, or Men at Arms, before announcing the winner of the closely contested public poll. If you want to go in not knowing which one it will be, then don't look below!

Okay, I think all the spoiler-concerned have looked away now...

It was Men at Arms! So get yourself a copy and get reading, as we'll be discussing it on the very first proper episode, which will be released on November 8th. We'll probably even have art and a theme tune and everything by then! In the meantime, you can watch this site for more info about the book itself, and our plans - including some thoughts about our long-term reading order. But if you have thoughts on anything we mention in the intro, please leave a comment and let us know!
