Season 8: Episode 148 - THE FOLKLORE PODCAST CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, 2023
When Sir Terry Pratchett passed away in March of 2015, it was thought that this would be the end of any new writing from one of the world's most-loved fantasy authors. But this was not quite the case.
For the Christmas Special, 2023, we present an interview with Pat and Jan Harkin, the husband and wife team who were responsible for rediscovering all of the short stories written by Terry before Discworld was ever a thing, when he was a local newspaper reporter. These stories, brought together for the first time, now form the new anthology 'A Stroke of the Pen' which published in October of 2023.
As a Christmas treat, the episode closes with a reading of one of these stories by actor David Tennant.
