Episode 087 -- 42nd anniversary of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" part 1 -- an introduction

42 years ago, a most notable and wonderful being came forth from the great radio drama producing planet of Aleric B and gave us the BBC radio series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (first episode was broadcast on Wednesday, March 8th, 1978, which is why we're book-ending that day with our episodes).  Over the next few episodes, we'll talk about HHGTTG and that human (?) being Douglas Adams.  This is just a short introduction for those who don't know what it is, because after recording two very long episodes, we realized that if you're coming into it without having heard/read/etc. it, you'd be lost. Of course, if you're not sure what 42 has to do with this, just keep listening.  So enjoy this introduction!  It just means you get an extra episode anyway. Woohoo! Coming up will be episodes on: the history and context of the first series or two; an interview or more with fans of the Manor and of HHGTTG; and our favorite bits as we fanboy about it. See you in two more days!
