The continuing reading of Hitchhicker's guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - read by me, Simon Anthony, Here we find out why Arthur was insulted and discover he is by far not the only one. We shall meet the insulter, Wowbagger again, but not yet. We have a game of cricket to play - until the players from Kricket arrive. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

Trillian and Wowbagger have, figuratively speaking, now ridden off into a beautiful romantic sunset.Zaphod and Thor in the meantime are on Nano, living it up at a banquet in Thor's honour, totally oblivious to the fact that the Vogons are in orbit, and preparing the obliterate the planetoid with an experimental weapon, a SECRET experimental weapon.Onboard the Vogon ship, The Business End, Prostetnic Jeltz is eager to see what this weapon is capable of doing, whilst his grovelling son, Constant Mown, is doing what he can to stop his father. Because, unlike most Vogons, he is not into the whole bureaucratic shindig, and would really like to discuss Country music with somebody...#dontpandemic #dontpanic #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hhgttg #hitchhikersguide #douglasadams #fortytwo #lifetheuniverseandeverything #arthurdent #fordprefect #zaphodbeeblebrox #trillian #marvin #paranoidandroid #thehitchhikersguide #thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hg2gSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit.

Thor and Wowbagger have had their epic showdown, which has left Wowbagger soaring up into the stratosphere of Nano after a spectacular uppercut from Mjölnir.However, it rather seems that Bowerick Wowbagger was having serious second thoughts about ending his immortality, as he and Trillian have very deeply fallen in love. It would seem.Arthur meanwhile is trying his very best to not be quite so damnably gauche and, well, English about everything.Things DO seem to be a bit of a pickle, eh?Show your love and keep this podcast alive - and get access to patron-only and ad-free content - become a patron on https://patreon.com/thebeardedwitAlternatively, you can make a one-off donation on https://supporter.acast.com/the-gigglefix-podcast#dontpandemic #dontpanic #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hhgttg #hitchhikersguide #douglasadams #fortytwo #lifetheuniverseandeverything #arthurdent #fordprefect #zaphodbeeblebrox #trillian #marvin #paranoidandroid #thehitchhikersguide #thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hg2gSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit.

A long period in dark space has massively amplified feelings amongst the passengers of the Tanngrísnir, love seems to be in the air, and hate, or are they?Wowbagger and Thor look set for a bit of a smack-down, but does Wowbagger still want to die? We know all the cows do, daft buggers.But most importantly, will Arthur ever get his wine, and will Ford get some sauce for all the recently lightning-fried steak lying around?Show your love and keep this podcast alive - and get access to patron-only and ad-free content - become a patron on https://patreon.com/thebeardedwitAlternatively, you can make a one-off donation on https://supporter.acast.com/the-gigglefix-podcast#dontpandemic #dontpanic #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hhgttg #hitchhikersguide #douglasadams #fortytwo #lifetheuniverseandeverything #arthurdent #fordprefect #zaphodbeeblebrox #trillian #marvin #paranoidandroid #thehitchhikersguide #thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hg2gSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit.

It seems he is in the process of brokering a fairly impressive knock-down-drag-out fight between the god and Wowbagger the infinitely prolonged.But what's all this stuff about Nano? And where does Zaphod fit in?Listen in and find out!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit. Support the creation of this content.

Zaphod, having learned Heimdall's real name (and the ability to compel the god into doing what he wants), has now FINALLY managed to get into Asgard.Onboard the Tanngrísnir, Ford, Arthur, and Fenchurch are busy ignoring the "boom-chicka-wow-wow" going on between Trillian and Wowbagger.But will Zaphod be able to persuade Thor to kill Wowbagger? And perhaps slightly more important than this, will he be able to persuade Thor NOT to kill HIM before he gets to ask about killing Wowbagger?Support this podcast and gain access to subscriber-only content on https://patreon.com/thebeardedwitSupport 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.

Wowbagger the infinitely prolonged is very busy trying to ensure his own demise, everyone else is just trying to stay alive. Will any of them succeed?

The gang are apparently safe and secure having found themselves first being "saved" by Zaphod - and then being REALLY saved by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged. But is this all really helping?

Beware of the Leopard: the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy podcast
Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they saunter into the Z section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Wormhole Disco The place Zaphod and Roosta transport themselves to is the Wormhole Disco, which might as well have been called the Placeholder Club. In this disco there are nozels on the wall that spray the smell of hot sweat over everything, and the place is packed with dancing robots. Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged was – indeed, is – one of the Universe's very small number of immortal beings. He'd had his immortality thrust upon him by an unfortunate accident with an irrational particle accelerator, a liquid lunch and a pair of rubber bands. The precise details of the accident are not important because no one has ever managed to duplicate the exact circumstances under which it happened, and many people have ended up looking very silly, or dead, or both, trying. He was played by Toby Longworth in the radio series, and he's made it his mission to insult every little being in the universe, just for something to do. Xanthic Re-Structron Destabilised Zenon Emitters The Xanthic Re-Structron Destabilised Zenon Emitter is just one of those throwaway lines Adams tossed in to a conversation between two robots. But if you put that combination of words into the Internet, you get this interesting question, which I'm going to pose to Danny: If there was a drone in the sky directing some type of microwave energy into your house, would you report it to the officials or not? Ysllodins Ysllodins is the star around which most of the Galaxy's major insurance underwriters live, or rather lived. As far as I can tell, this one isn't real. Zamphuor Zamphuor is an unknown ingredient to add when mixing a pangalactic gargleblaster. Zansellquasure Flamarion Bridge Club from beyond the Vortvoid of Qvarne The Zansellquasure Flamarion Bridge Club from beyond the Vortvoid of Qvarne is a party that dines at Miliways, the restaurant at the end of the universe.

Saudaçõeeeeees novamente, e aqui estamos nós com mais uma encheção de linguiça, digo, um episódio do podcast! No meio de tantas idas e vindas, estamos de volta, enquanto retrabalhamos os últimos episódios para solucionar problemas técnicos e de qualidade de pauta, com um episódio especial, com os extras dos nossos bastidores. Então, aqui estamos nós com nosso retardo de sempre conversando sobre algumas aleatoriedades. AH! Antes que esqueçamos: Estamos com um Padrim no ar! Por enquanto não temos tanto pra oferecer, mas como necessitamos de muito incentivo pra continuarmos com essa budega, pra quem acreditar que possa valer a pena nos ajudar com qualquer apoio que seja, só acessar o link: http://www.padrim.com.br/wowbaggers Sigam nossas redes sociais, assinem nosso feed e fiquem de olho, em breve teremos muitas novidades, e nesse ano de 2018 (o ano do podcast no Brasil, onde a internet mostrou que veio pra ficar) a nave de Matéria Escura do Wowbagger vai finalmente alçar voo! Até mais e obrigado pelos peixes!
Saudaçõõõõõõõeeeeeeeeens Infinitamente Prolongadaaaaaaas! Mais um longo inverno, mais outro longo período ruim,... mas AINDA ESTAMOS AQUI!!!! Nesse momento, continuamos falar sobre a jornada do herói, especificando onde o Wowbagger se encaixa, falamos sobre a jornada da heroína, e também incorporamos a parte mais "mística" da coisa do storytelling, quando colocamos a Cabala, Árvore da Vida e o Tarot para descrever e exemplificar a jornada inteira através de um ponto de vista. Até mais e obrigado pelos peixes! Fontes: “A Jornada do Herói” apareceu primeiro em Wowbaggers. A arte de capa com o Wowbagger putasso como supervilão meio megamente foi elaborada pelo aLison Belo, o nosso Bah. E pauta, edição, efeitos e tudo mais, feita por Luke. Host, rosto e voz do podcast e completando o time, Léo.
Beware of the Leopard: the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy podcast
Mark Steadman, Danny Smith and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. Flollop Flolloping is a way of moving that only a matress can do. In a sort-of Meaning of Liff kind of way, I wondered if you two had any similarly onomatopoeic terms for movement. The panel shares their favourite onomatopoeic words. Flying There is an art, the guide says, or rather a knack to flying, which lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Danny discusses whether this activity belongs in legitimate sci-fi. Folfanga On the fourth world of the Folfanga system can be found a slug of the genus A Urth Urp-hill Ip-dennoo, which Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolongued made it part of his mission to insult. Wowbagger had planned to call one of the creatures a brainless prat, which is frankly a bit derivative, so Jon is in charge of workshopping new insults for slugs. Foot Warriors The foot warriors are robots intent on keeping all bipedal life from the ground. They're all dressed in expensive shoes that don't fit them, so they constantly limp or fall over. We meet them in the second radio series, and they're pretty ineffective, so the panel embarks on a discussion about robots that are actually useful within the H2G2 universe. Ford Prefect Ford Prefect is Arthur's best friend. His original name is only pronounceable in an obscure Betelgeusian dialect, now virtually extinct since the Great Collapsing Hrung Disaster which wiped out all the old Praxibetel communities on Betelgeuse Seven. He's loyal to his friends, doesn't have much of a backbone but does fight to protect the things he loves, and to annoy or destroy the things he doesn't. Here, the panel share their favourite Ford things. Get in touch Follow @ iamsteadman, @ bounder and @ probablydrunk on Twitter.

Saaaaaaaudaçõõõõõõõeeeeeeeeens Infinitamente Prolongadas! E depois de certo tempo sombrio de algumas corridas contra o tempo e contra interferências de forças do mal através de ruídos nos equipamentos de terceira mão comprados de uma navezinha esférica com o nome “Coração de Ouro” entalhada na lataria, conseguimos voltar com o episódio 2 do nosso estimado podcast. Aqui falamos mais sobre as jornadas que todos enfrentam em histórias contadas as mais diversas formas, desde os tempos da antiga Grécia. Homens e mulheres que vão desde semideuses, sobreviventes de perigosos acidentes, escolhidos por profecias ou lendas, sortudos sem papel higiênico ou simplesmente idiotas tentando fazer algo certo, são os nossos mais valorosos Heróis! Nessa primeira parte, comentamos sobre os estilos de jornadas e tipos de heróis, além de, por via de Joseph Campbell adaptado por Christopher Vogler, definir os passos da tão citada Jornada do Herói, presente em quase tudo feito por Hollywood, por exemplo, seja em sua estrutura clássica ou por meio de algumas reconstruções. E NÃO SE ESQUEÇAM! Esta é a Parte 1! Em breve, continuação da Jornada do Herói, com uma parte mais… hm… misteriosa hehehe Até mais e obrigado pelos peixes!

Saaaaudaaaaçõõõões infinitamente prolongadas! Estamos aqui finalmente com o primeiro episódio OFICIAL dessa coisa toda. Então, vamos parar de viajar no que poderíamos fazer com isso, e começar a finalmente fazer. E qual tema melhor começar do que o próprio ser que nos inspirou a construir esse site/podcast? Sim, falamos sobre o Wowbagger. O classificamos como personagem (onde a explicação está nesse post), revisamos o existencialismo, e a filosofia por trás desse E.T. distímico (nesse outro post aqui) e fomos longe tentando definir sarcasmo, humor e imortalidade. Até mais, e obrigado pelos peixes! Fontes: "Infinitamente prolongando o existencialismo Wowbaggeriano" apareceu primeiro em Wowbaggers.

Beware of the Leopard: the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy podcast
Mark Steadman, Jon Hickman and Danny Smith continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. Alpha Centuri A real star system that might've put paid to the Vogons' plan to destroy earth. Otherwise known as an intergalactic Slough. Altarian Dollar A now defunct currency that probably doesn't go as far as it used to. Amalgamated Union of Philosophers, Sages, Luminaries and Other Thinking Persons The organisation to which Vroomfondel and Majikthise belong. We discuss whether they're any good at the thing they purport to protect. American Express A small credit card from Earth, and the subject of some pretty nasty bar disputes. Angst in Space A film Wowbagger watches, deftly summarised in Netflix synopsis style by Jon. Antarean mosaic lizard A teeny-tiny lizard whose skin adorns a marble-topped bar in Milliways. Antarean parakeet glands Revolting little cocktail garnishes, but the inspiration for a few confessions from our team. Anthony Sharp The voice of the Milliways waiter and of the great prophet Zarquon. Here we discuss what we'd like to be remembered for. Apple The people who make computers, one of which was purchased by Arthur when he tried to find his old cave on prehistoric Earth.

Mais um Papo Vogon NO AAAARRRRR! E nesse episódio, tentem não se irritarem com um dos personagens mais “queridos” do Guia: Wowbagger! Para quem não está familiarizado, Wowbagger é um ser imortal que xinga todos os seres do universo, e ele tem uma lista em ordem alfabética para fazer isso. E nesse episódio, você vai saber dos gostos pessoais de...
Jonas and Phil talk about Steam and Futurama... Bob talks about stuff too, for a short while.
