Send us a textA local theater company in the Chicagoland suburbs is performing Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, the Play. Once I knew it existed I had to see it. Though the play itself has its disconnects, the performance of the cast was outstanding. Any fan of Douglas Adams needs to see this and should start following a random stranger because you just might end up there.This has been a Froods for Thought production.
Just over 2 hours because once again, there is not only way too much happening but also Vero has all the predictions, Lina has all the leading and non-leading questions and both of us just love to drive the other insane.

Just squeezing today's episode under 90 minutes, but it is BURSTING with information and entertainment! Vero is probably still running victory laps around her house, because a complete random and a very specific prediction came true, and Lina is never going to stop chuckling about some other wild guesses, that came out of this recording. Mostly you'll learn what is the difference between a whoosh-whoosh and pew-pew gun, and how we feel about Ken's current relationship with Friedkin. So enjoy, we certainly did.

There seem to be no short recordings this season, because why would there? Vero continues making predictions left and right, some come true, all are entertaining (if you know you know) and Lina tries her best to not spoiler anything (which is getting harder by the episode because ISN'T IT OBVIOUS BY NOW?)

In this chunk of an episode, Vero's predictions keep coming, and you better believe, that Lina made sure to extract as many as humanly possible. We debate Alan Tudyk being a part of this tv show, Lina melts over Amanda's haircut and Vero falls into conspiracy spirals, while Lina hides behind her microphone. AKA all the good stuff!

WE ARE BACK! The absolute wreck of life has crashed into us in full force, but we have finally sat down to talk about season 1 of Dirk Gently. As per usual, this is a chunky episode, with all our classics (favourite/least favourite character), and new things (predictions, predictions), and at one point we watch some bonus materials, discovered on YouTube, so there are some silences there, if you want to watch along, links to those are below. Overall, this was a very fun episode to record, tho it lacked the usual descend into alcohol haze, as Vero was on medication and wasn't allowed to drink.

Action-packed episode brings disagreements apparently! Though we both had a great time watching the episode itself, it turned out, we have watched a sligtly different thing. Lina focused on new information, while Vero reveled in trying to read old scenes through new eyes. But it wouldn't be us, if we didn't make the best of it, and Lina didn't grill Vero on some fun predictions, so have fun, and don't forget, if you ever have anything to add, please reach out to us at dirkgently@taot-podcast.com.

This is a junky one because for the first time this season, we are actually disagreeing on things! And if you listened to our older stuff, you know what that means - lengthy debates... But also there is a lot happening in this episode, many questions are raised, Vero draws some curious conclusions that Lina tries very hard to not comment too obviously on, and a lot of direct lines are quoted because awesomeness. The end of the season (and the year) is approaching, so if you want to give us some commentary, feedback, thoughts, anything, send your emails to dirkgently@taot-podcast.com .

In episode 5, we get to at least briefly hang out with all of our characters, and especially Amanda with the Rowdy 3 are making Lina very happy. There is some general disagreement about Friedkin, but mostly this was a very chill and fun episode. Disclaimer, we are convinced, that this tv show is happening in California, so please don't yell at us for being so shocked, that Bart is in Seattle.

WE ARE BACK! After some much needed rest, we are back with vengance AND a new show. We are diving into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, produced by Netflix in 2016! And because we are still us, this episode will be extremely chunky, because there is much to be discused and introduced.

The Salmon of Doubt is the title of the unfinished third Dirk Gently novel or the Sixth Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel depending on who you talk to and when you talk to them. It is also the title of a curated collection of writings published after the death of Douglas Adams. The aforementioned Salmon of Doubt is contained in this volume. We will not be discussing it. We are going to talk about most everything else in the book except it. But do not fear. We will circle back to it in a few episodes.This has been a Froods for Thought production.
Richard Macduff is not himself Everything is connected! Before Netflix adapted Douglas Adams' beloved Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, there were two BBC Radio series featuring Harry Enfield as the oddball detective. Dirk Gently is a detective with a difference. Based on his belief in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, he investigates mysterious circumstances through a holistic approach – if everything is connected then he might just ask you to buy him pizza so he can glean clues from that pizza through holistic techniques. Or maybe this just started as a scam to get free pizza – but his encounters with the bizarre and occult, and his outcomes speak for themselves

This week, a bone Vervoid joins in the fun as we travel back in time to Wales in 2015 pretending to be Scotland in 1980 pretending to be somewhere in the Soviet Union. And it's hard to say which time paradox is the most annoying, the bootstrap one or the predestination one. Thank goodness Frazer Gregory is here to help us sort it all out — it's Before the Flood. Notes and links Like Steven B in our episode on Flatline, Frazer uses the Christopher Nolan film The Prestige (2006) as a way of understanding what Toby Whithouse is doing by setting up the bootstrap paradox at the start of this episode — it's a magic trick. Likewise, Frazer compares this story's unresolved conclusion with the way that the Season 9 episode of The Simpsons Das Bus throws its ending away with a hilarious voiceover from James Earl Jones. El Sandifer refers to the Fisher King as a Bone Vervoid in her TARDIS Eruditorum essay on this story. Bone Vervoid. Warning: she is considerably less kind to these two episodes than we have been. Of course, A Long Tradition of Doctor Who Monsters That in Some Way Resemble Human Genitalia is the title of Flight Through Entirety Episode 168, and it refers to Human Dalek Sec in Evolution of the Daleks. It is currently the record-holder as the longest title of any episode of Flight Through Entirety. We refer to some of Peter Serafinowicz's earlier work, including his role as the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace (1999), In 2002, he appeared in Look Around You, a spoof of educational science programmes for schoolchildren. And in 2007, he appeared in his own sketch comedy show on BBC Two, The Peter Serafinowicz Show, which introduced his character Brian Butterfield, who he continues to play on tour this year. The Butterfield Diet Plan is a must see. Picks of the week James Fans of weird time paradoxes will also enjoy Douglas Adams's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987), which, through a time paradox of its own, was the inspiration for Adams's own Doctor Who stories, City of Death (1979) and Shada (1979, but in a nearby parallel universe). Peter Fans of weird time paradoxes will also enjoy the Sex in the City sequel TV series And Just Like That. Nathan Nathan picks the podcast Strong Songs, where enthusiastic and talented musician Kirk Hamilton analyses the music that he loves, in order to discover what it is that makes it great. Highly recommended. Frazer Like Nathan two weeks ago, Frazer recommends that you watch the wonderful new Star Trek series Strange New Worlds, which finished its second series earlier this year. Follow us Nathan is on ex-Twitter as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood,and Frazer is @FelixFrazer. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on X at @FTEpodcast. We're also on Facebook, Mastodon, and Bluesky, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll turn up at your place in the middle of the night with a Fender Stratocaster to explain the paradox of entailment. And more Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on every episode of the Whittaker era, recorded just a couple of days after the broadcast of the episode. Bondfinger is our James Bond commentary podcast, which also covers some of our favourite spy-fi TV shows of the sixties and seventies. Maximum Power is a podcast about Blakes 7, a co-production with the Trap One Podcast. It's on hiatus right now, but it will be returning with our coverage of Series C some time next month, we think. And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watch a credible and highly-regarded episode of The Original Series with a monster in it that makes that hydra thing in Time-Flight look horrifyingly realistic.

Originally a 1978 BBC radio comedy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy developed into a "trilogy" of five books that sold more than 15 million copies in his lifetime. It was further developed into a television series, several stage plays, comics, a video game, and a 2005 feature film. Adams's contribution to UK radio is commemorated in The Radio Academy's Hall of Fame. Adams also wrote Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987) and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (1988), and co-wrote The Meaning of Liff (1983), The Deeper Meaning of Liff (1990), and Last Chance to See (1990). He wrote two stories for the television series Doctor Who, co-wrote City of Death (1979), and served as script editor for its seventeenth season. He co-wrote the sketch "Patient Abuse" for the final episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. A posthumous collection of his selected works, including the first publication of his final (unfinished) novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002. Adams was a self-proclaimed "radical atheist", an advocate for environmentalism and conservation, and a lover of fast cars, technological innovation and the Apple Macintosh.

Over the course of his 20+ years as an actor, today's guest has reinvented himself, pushing beyond Hollywood typecasting into roles that have allowed him to reach new heights as both an artist, and as a person. Tyler Labine's long list of credits include Hulu's, “Deadbeat”, The WB's “Dead Last”, NBC's “Animal Practice”, CBS's “Mad Love”, FX's “Sons of Tucson” and he can currently be seen on the new season of BBC's “Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency” and the NBC hit series, “New Amsterdam” as Dr. Iggy Frome. Born in Canada, Tyler discusses what it was like growing up as one of three artistically inclined siblings. He shares his experience of getting started in the film and television industry, and how his desire for more opportunities ultimately landed him in Los Angeles with roommate Ryan Gosling. Early on in his career, Tyler experienced being typecast in predominantly comedic roles. Often playing the goofy character type for a number of years, Tyler shares how he was able to shift casting's view of him and the kinds of projects he began to take on in order to do so. Now playing a wide range of roles across the comedy to drama spectrum, today's episode is full of insight and tips for actors at all levels. From discussing the ins-and-outs of actor finances, to character building technique, to his audition story opposite Aaron Sorkin that you'll have to hear to believe, Tyler is an example of what it means to grow as a person, and as a result, grow as an artist.

Actor Osric Chau is equally adept at comedy and drama, and at being a supportive member of an ensemble while still shining on his own. Osric played Kevin Tran, a high school student turned ghost turned prophet, on Supernatural, and Vogel, a member of the quartet known as the Rowdy Three, on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. He won a Leo Award for Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series for portrayal of Charles in Blood and Water, the first television drama series produced for a Chinese Canadian audience that mixed dialogue in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, and he's had great roles in Star Trek Discovery, Nancy Drew, Christmas at the Golden Dragon, and The Flash. Osric is also a producer. He's a writer and director. He's been a restaurateur. He's spoken out about acts of hatred against Asian Canadians and Asian Americans. In this compelling and at times soul-stirring episode, Osric talks genre-hopping, navigating the industry as an Asian actor, how Supernatural's Kevin Tran changed his life, and the deeply moving story behind his stunning look for the 2016 Leo Awards.
