Episodes

12. HHGttG | No Tea 17.10.2024

No Tea (noun) The absence of tea, universally referred to as "No Tea," is a situation so dire that it has caused widespread panic, existential dread, and more than one interstellar conflict. Though not classified as a "civilization-ending" event, the lack of tea has been known to significantly reduce the productivity of humans, Vogons, and particularly perturbed Viltvodle VI philosophers.

11. HHGttG | Ford 10.10.2024

Ford Prefect (proper noun) A roguishly charming, if somewhat erratic, galactic hitchhiker and field researcher for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

He has a remarkable knack for surviving improbable situations, a profound disdain for Vogon poetry, an...

10. HHGttG | Marvin 03.10.2024

Marvin (proper noun) Also known as Marvin the Paranoid Android, Marvin is a highly intelligent, exceedingly depressed, and chronically underappreciated robot designed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

9. HHGttG | Whale 26.09.2024

8. HHGttG | Fluff 19.09.2024

Fluff (noun) A light, airy, and seemingly inconsequential substance that can be found just about anywhere in the galaxy.

7. HHGttG | Islington 12.09.2024

6. HHGttG | Tea 05.09.2024

Tea (noun) A simple, yet profoundly significant beverage made by infusing dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant in hot water. Revered across the galaxy, tea is particularly important to humans from Earth, who often use it to achieve a sense of calm in the face of overwhelming improbability.

5. HHGttG | Improbability Drive 29.08.2024

Infinite Improbability Drive (noun) A groundbreaking propulsion system that allows a spacecraft to traverse vast interstellar distances instantaneously by generating a field of infinite improbability.

4. HHGttG | Heart of Gold 22.08.2024

Heart of Gold (proper noun) A one-of-a-kind spacecraft that holds the distinction of being the first to be equipped with the revolutionary Infinite Improbability Drive.

3. HHGttG | Babel Fish 15.08.2024

Babel Fish (noun) A small, leech-like fish that, when inserted into the ear, allows the host to instantly understand any spoken language. The Babel Fish is one of the most remarkable (and suspiciously convenient) creatures in the galaxy.
