from Starship Podcast Warlock · host Drew Simchik & Jeff Lampert
The glorious, obnoxious, devil-may-care, outrageous, heedless hedonist we know as Zaphod Beeblebrox lends his name to an archetype Drew sees in a bunch of different TV characters. Find out what Eric Cartman, Al Bundy, Patsy Stone, Edina Monsoon, and Bender from Futurama all have in common and then look for the Zaphod in YOUR favorite TV show! Unless your favorite TV show is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which case you're done. You can kick back and just watch with us as Arthur Dent learns of the incredible purpose for which the planet Earth was literally made, two white mice strike a business deal for one of our heroes' brains, and two cops are (sensitive) bastards.
