Podcasts about hitchhiker

Tread Perilously's horror month continues with a look at the anthology series The Hitchhiker via its slasher-esque episode called "The Killer." Despite Meg's protests, her family plans to leave her behind while going on a vacation. Well, her brother, Jonathan, may also be staying to do some shooting. But when most of the clan is killed via shotgun blasts, Meg must fend for herself as the killer is somewhere in the palatial home. Is Jonathan behind the deaths? And can Meg use her wheelchair to devise clever ways to avoid him? Erik discovers The Hitchhiker is not a ripoff of The Hitcher. Justin finds room to champion Mute Witness. Guest star Jenny Seagrove's CableACE Award win for the episode leads to a discussion of cable TV quality in the 1980s. Erik reveals where Justin has seen fellow guest star Lisa Foster before. The pair also discuss the qualities of a good twist. They even invent "The Beach That Makes You Old" Scale. Justin defends Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Hot Dog ... The Movie suddenly becomes important. Proper day-for-night photography is discussed, as is the unfortunate brevity of The Hitchhiker, which leads to thin characters. And on an unrelated note, Michael Winner becomes a cinematic devil.

Buckle up for another fun-filled episode of Wise_N_Nerdy with Charles and Joe as they dive into fandom, family, and fatherhood with plenty of laughs along the way. This week kicks off with the Question of the Week: “Who is the worst or best fictional character to have as a road trip guest?” The hosts play a variety of hilarious speakpipes and share their own picks, from Percy Jackson to David from Jumper—and even Pokémon like Muk and Jigglypuff.With the traditional roll of the dice guiding the show, the first stop is the Parliament of Papas segment, where Charles and Joe tackle the tricky topic of whether or not you're truly required to socialize in the workplace. From there, it's time for Daddy, Tell Me A Story, where Joe shares a surprising tale about his grandfather—who just happened to be a “hippo whisperer.” Yes, you read that right. He knew the trick to get hippos at the zoo to open their mouths so visitors could pet their tongues!Of course, no episode would be complete without some bad dad jokes—this time centered around executioners. After the laughs, the dice bring us to the How Do I...? segment, where the discussion gets real about how to handle bullies, offering advice that's practical for kids and adults alike.The hosts also share more community speakpipes, including several from listener CaseyJay, sparking fun discussions about K-Pop Demon Hunters and the funny things kids repeat that they probably shouldn't.Finally, the What Are You Nerding Out About? segment brings everything home. Charles opens up about some of the real-life stresses and guilt that come with managing income and responsibility, while Joe closes things out with a glowing recommendation of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman—describing it as Hunger Games meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the fun, chaotic mechanics of games like Diablo.If you're looking to laugh, learn, and connect, this episode is packed with stories, jokes, and nerdy goodness that prove why Wise_N_Nerdy is the place to Find your FAMdom.Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom

When does comedy become more than a laugh? Ben Mangrum of MIT joins RtB to discuss his new book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford UP, 2025), which in some ways is organized around “the intriguing idea that human knowledge work is our definitive feature and yet the machines we are ourselves made are going to replace us at it.” Comedy has provided a toolbox (Charles Tilly calls them "collective repertoires") for responding to the looming obsolescence of knowledge workers.John's interest in Menippean satire within science fiction leads him to ask about about the sliding meanings of comedy and its pachinko machine capacity; he loves the way Ben uses the word and concept of doubling,; Ben explains how the computer may either queer (in an antisocial way) or get assimilated into romantic heteronormative pairings. John asks about Donna Haraway's 1985 A Cyborg Manifesto and teh way it denaturalizes gender roles and the way new technological affordances (from the Acheulean axe that Malafouris discusses to the Apple watch) redefine human roles. Ben delves into the minstrelsy pre-history of the photo-robots going as far back as the late 19th century. They unpack the distinctively American Leo Marxian optimism of The Machine in the Garden (1964) that spreads back as far as the proto-robots like The Steam Man of the Prairies(1868) and good old Tik-Tok in the Wizard of Oz novels. John asks about double-edged nature of Ben's claim that comic “genericity provides forms for making a computationally mediated social world seem more habitable, even as it also provides Is for criticizing and objecting to that world." First you get description says Ben--and then sometimes critique. John asks about the iterability of the new: how much of what seems new actually New New (in the sense of that great 1999 Michael Lewis book, The New New Thing)? Mentioned in the episode: The Desk Set a play William Marchand and a movie starring Katherine Hepburn. How might a computer be incorporated into the sociability of a couple? Her (Spike Jonze,, 2013) computer meets human makes the rom-com into a coupling machine. WarGames (1983( ends with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy (not Ione Skye—silly John!) paired. But also with Broderick and the formerly deadly computer settling down to “how about a nice game of chess”? Black Mirror as the 2020's version of the same dark satire as the 1950's Twilight Zone. John asks about Stanislaw Lem's Cyberiad, and the comic coupling of Kirk and Spock and the death-as-computer comedy of Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979). Leo Marx, The Machine in the Garden (1964). Dave Eggers: the joke structure as critique in The Circle and The Every. John Saybrook wrote in the New Yorker about an eye-opening conversation with Bill Gates in 1994.

Political reporter Dan Jervis-Bardy speaks to executive director of Essential Media Peter Lewis about Australian voters' views on the government's climate action ambition and the immigration debate. Lewis also explains why he thinks The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a perfect analogue of the prime minister's approach to politics in the midst of global instability

In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others.

Parashat Ha'Azinu is not merely a poem; it is a shirah — a Divine song. The combination of words and music gives song the power to express simultaneously joy and sorrow, exile and redemption, judgment and compassion. That is why Moshe, on the last day of his life, chooses a song to seal the Torah's message for eternity.

It's Lauren's birthday (well, sort of), and she's diving deep — and hilariously — into what it means to turn 42. Inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, she reflects on motherhood, messy relationships, starting over, reclaiming creativity, and redefining self-worth. This isn't your average “here's what I learned” episode. It's a raw, real, and fiery manifesto for anyone tired of living on autopilot. If you've ever questioned your value, sacrificed too much, or just need a spark to reconnect with your passion — this episode is your wake-up call.  Spoiler alert: the answer isn't in a spreadsheet. It's in how you care for yourself.

A 28-minute art film mostly made of still images that went on to inspire many films as well as the 1995 12 Monkeys. The filmmaker, Chris Marker was an elusive French multimedia journalist, artist, writer, filmmaker, photographer who very rarely did interviews.

Butlers, it seems, know everything. They are privy to the goings-on above and below stairs, and, of course, they keep it  - mostly  - to themselves. Agnes van Rhijn's very British butler Bannister has become a show favorite as he manages the downstairs staff and to a certain degree life above stairs as well. Simon Jones, who plays the role of Bannister, is a veteran actor with an astonishingly impressive list of credits from stage, film and television. Jones has played roles in such productions as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Brideshead Revisited and Downton Abbey.  His past co-stars include Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Maggie Smith, Angela Lansbury, Lauren Bacall, among so many others.In this special episode, Simon Jones sits with Carl to talk about those roles, and of course that of Bannister on The Gilded Age.  This interview first ran in December of 2023.

What makes a machine human? When does an algorithm become more than just ones and zeros? In this fourth installment of our artificial intelligence in pop culture series, we tackle the profound philosophical questions raised by science fiction's most compelling AI narratives.We begin with Star Trek's Data—the "fully functional" android whose quest to understand humanity mirrors our own questions about consciousness. But our main focus turns to Ridley Scott's masterpiece Blade Runner and its central question: what distinguishes humans from the replicants they've created? We examine how the film's ambiguity about whether Deckard himself is a replicant enriches its exploration of consciousness, memory, and identity.The conversation takes us through Douglas Adams' satirical take on AI in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where a supercomputer spends millions of years calculating the answer to life's ultimate question only to deliver the infamous "42." This absurdist approach highlights our tendency to outsource complex philosophical dilemmas to technology without fully understanding what we're asking.As we consider modern AI development, we question whether the distinction between artificial and human intelligence might be more arbitrary than absolute. Are we, as humans, fundamentally different from the algorithms we create, or are we simply organic computers operating on biological programming? The way we constantly redefine sentience as we learn more about animal intelligence provides a fascinating parallel to how we might one day view artificial consciousness.The episode eventually veers off into a tangent we're famous for as we fan-cast a particular comic book property if it had been adapted to film years before it was.

And Peter would like to ask; the hijab, a sign of oppression, or something that as a society should make us think more?Elsewhere, did any government in living memory impress Peter? Don't count on it. Why did Christopher Hitchens once storm out of The Great Lives recording studio and who did our hosts choose to revere when it came to their turn in The Great Lives chair?

We chat with the hitchhiker that Taryn picked up to get his perspective!

The DMD is here! DALY MIGS DOWNLOAD! We also chat with Taryn's hitchhiker!

The late, great Terence Stamp's death at the age of 87 has left behind an incredible body of work, but what a gamble The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert was. He'd never headlined a comedy, he'd never done a musical, he wasn't keen on Australia - and yet he agreed to sign up for a low budget Australian indie that over three decades later, is still awash with stories. The second half of this episode is handed over to director Jay Roach meanwhile, who talks about his new movie, The Roses. The chat also covers bits of Recount, Meet The Parents, the big film he never made, and even a dab of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy... Learn more about your ad choices.

When you sign up for a ghost hunt, you expect the occasional flickering light or eerie whisper—but what happens when the equipment goes haywire, the rookie investigator starts looking like a haunted beanbag chair, and you catch a glimpse of something that definitely isn't human clinging to his back? In this chilling (and slightly absurd) attic encounter, seasoned investigator Jill finds herself playing paranormal bodyguard against an entity that refuses to let go. With strange readings, shadowy shapes, and a rescue mission involving an imaginary “force field egg,” this hunt proves some spirits don't just haunt buildings—they pick favorites.

Neurotic, anxious robots like C-3P0 from Star Wars' C-3P0 and Marvin from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are a staple of science fiction — but they're not as common in the real world. Most of the time, the chatbots and artificial intelligence "robots" we encounter are programmed to be extraverted, confident and cheerful. But what if that changed?NPR science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce dives into the world of robot personality research and talks to a team of researchers that are experimenting with a very different kind of robot temperament.Read more of Nell's reporting on the topic here.Interested in more science news?

His books include The Mervyn Stone Mysteries, The Fan Who Knew too Much, and its sequel, Lies and Dolls, which was released in July.

Dan begins with a story is about a woman who is dealing with a family tragedy and the paranormal. Her brother is seemingly unaware, which may make it worse.  Then, in Pennsylvania the haunted lore associated with Brownsville's Nemacolin Castle brings forth an interesting haunted house tale.Lynze brings us three stories this week. Her first takes us to Idaho Falls, a long and dark drive that includes an unwanted passenger. Then, a woman declares she is no Darren but also won't be moving despite seeing her daughter and her not-daughter in her home. Lastly, a creepy mirror hung in an Air BnB has a group of friends on edge. STDP Fan Stories Book #6: CREEPS AND PEEPERS! IF YOU CAN EVEN BELIEVE IT, WE ARE READY TO START TALKING ABOUT BOOK #6.

In the 1970s, at least seven young women and girls go missing around Santa Rosa, California. Seven are found dead, and one remains unidentified. Several killers, including the Zodiac and Ted Bundy, were known to commit crimes in Northern California. Could one of them be responsible for the unsolved Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders, or is there yet another serial killer waiting to be identified? Keep up with us on Instagram @serialkillerspodcast!
