Episode 142: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

About this episode

The OGs discuss the multimedia cult phenomenon 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams.

  LISTEN Don't panic! The OGs (and one young guy - Dan Schwartz) fulfill a promise made years ago when they realized they didn't do this topic for episode 42. They dive into the multimedia cult phenomenon from the late, great Douglas Adams. Also mystery bone broth, cicada pee, at bears, dirt water, the Bible should lighten up, and our new "guy in the booth", David. Pour yourself a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster, the effects of which are like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick, and enjoy! Don't forget your towel.   All Things OLD GUYS: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on our Facebook: facebook.com/oldguyswholovethings and talk to us via email: oldguyswholovethings@gmail.com Find Shawn online: https://linktr.ee/Grue_Gallery Find Eric online:  https://beacons.page/ericpschwartz (all music by Eric) Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com
