   Does anyone listen to any good fantasy or in particular Discworld podcasts off Itunes? I did listen to one but they haven’t updated it for ages :( thanks

   I only know of a few shortlived ones.

   Some interviews Emily (@foresthouse on Twitter) did at the UK Con last year are up at the North American Discworld Con website (scroll down a bit)

   Terry Pratchett in conversation with Jacqueline Simpson was also recorded at the convention, and is pretty good – discussions on folklore and Terry even sings a few folk songs (and he has a good voice).
   Having heard Jacqueline Simpson speak (she did a lecture on Elves: Nasty or Nice) she is full of fascinating knowledge and is a brilliant speaker & storyteller. Even if you didn’t particularly like “The Folklore of Discworld”, listen to the podcast.

   Other than that, I’ve only got a few radio interviews Terry has done in recent weeks.

   If you know of any good Discworld themed podcasts, let us know!

   Oh and a good fantasy-action-sci-fi story audio drama is The Leviathan Chronicles – The first season is 24 episodes, all available for free. I listened to them during my European trip last year. Great production values, even if sometimes the plot meanders a bit to throw in action setpieces (yes, in audio!)

   They are trying to monetise it now by selling “bonus” episodes and AFAIK the second season will be available for purchase several months before it’s released for free. But for now, download the first season and enjoy it.

   (NB: You can skip the ‘Soapbox’ episodes, they are merely the creator/writer of the show recommending stuff he likes)
