    It's the time of year when our thoughts turn to things festive, to the sharing of love, the sharing of joy, of light and happiness. But this doesn't happen without a bit of effort from all of us. Not least the jolliest of the jolly. In a world exclusive, guest presenter Vic Hyland (and long-time friend of The Bearded Wit) manages to track down and grab a few minutes of very precious time to talk with the big guy himself during a quick coffee break. Vic learns a little about what it really takes to make the festive season happen, how long it's actually been happening, and in this social-media-driven world, what hashtag Santa thinks best describes the true nature of the season. Once you've had a listen, don't forget to give Vic your support by following his podcast, and doing the same for the Big Beardy Guy himself…Vic's details:https://www.patreon.com/vichylandwww.vichyland.comwww.Ikaromusic.comThe Big Guy's details:www.patreon.com/thebeardedwithttps://shows.acast.com/611d11033142190013721b36https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/creative/id1481493729?i=1000535001649Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit.

Finally, we get to join our intrepid galactic hitchhiking heroes as they attempt to make sense of anything at all. We're about a third of the way into the sixth book "And Another Thing"...Zaphod has promised to kill Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, a promise Wowbagger is VERY keen to see fulfilled. The only problem is that they're on their way, at Zaphod's suggestion, to Asgard. What Zaphod does not know, however, is that the beasts guarding Asgard have been given Zaphod's scent... Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in the meantime has got a whiff of the fact that a small colony of homo sapiens escaped the multidimensional destruction of (all the) Earth(s) and is now on his way to obliterate them in order to complete his paperwork.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit.

    And Another Thing... We dive into the sixth book of three - the final instalment in the Hitchhiker's saga - this time penned by Eoin Colfer of "Artemis Fowl" fame. Sanctioned by Adams' widow, Jane Belson, this is the book that he had intended to write before his all-too-early passing. After writing five Hitchhiker books, Adams had felt the need to continue the story: "I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book...", and "People have said, quite rightly, that Mostly Harmless is a very bleak book. I would love to finish Hitchhiker on a slightly more upbeat note, so five seems to be a wrong kind of number; six is a better kind of number."
