Electric Monks: A Dirk Gently Podcast

Tv EN ↓ 56 episodes

A Podcast devoted to Douglas Adams' lesser known Dirk Gently book franchise and it's numerous different adaptations for all different forms of media. Hosted by four fans of Adams from all corners of the globe: Ed from the UK, Nemo from Australia, Dalek from the USA, and Caen from Sweden. Together, they form the Electric Monks, and they believe that their podcast is a pretty cool and froody one; stick with us for adventure, excitement and really wild things. As featured in the Acknowledgements of 42: The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams, by Kevin Jon Davies.
