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.

Well dear listener, it had to happen. After appearing with us separately on various podcasts, a long-time and genuine friend of the podcast - Too Hot for TV's Dylan Rees - joins BOTH of us to discuss the BBC television adaptation of Douglas Adams' THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY on tonight's episode of ALTERNATE GALAXIES. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy aired between 5 January and 9 February 1981 on BBC2 in the United Kingdom. The adaptation follows the original radio series in 1978 and 1980, the first novel and double LP, in 1979, and the stage shows, in 1979 and 1980, making it the fifth iteration of the guide. The series stars Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, David Dixon as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Sandra Dickinson as Trillian and Stephen Moore as the voice of Marvin. The voice of the guide is by Peter Jones.  Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Moore and Wing-Davey reprised their roles from the original radio series in 1978/80, as did supporting actors Richard Vernon and David Tate. In addition, the series features a number of notable cameo roles, including Adams himself on several occasions.

For our 2024 Holiday special, Julie's taking over the show, and we're joined by our favourite regular guest R. Alan Siler, as choose not do something seasonal, but to do something very much related to Doctor Who that we've really wanted to do for a while now… and so, we're heading into the world of Douglas Adams, as we discuss the 1981 TV version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!   Join us as we learn about Julie's bedtime, discuss the animation style, the comparison between this in different media, the unexpected similarities between Gene Roddenberry and Douglas Adams, the works of Oolon Caloophid, just how uncool Zaphod Beeblebrox secretly is, and how amazing David Dixon is as Ford Prefect (and what a great Doctor he would've been!). We also have a great discussion about casting in the TV show vs the movie   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available to stream on Britbox in the US (https://www.britbox.com), and on Blu Ray from Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3G6YCoH)  and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3m0qOSc).   Other media mentioned in this episode*: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio version) (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4aqrRR1 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3WI44sP) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3G6YCoH | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3m0qOSc) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film) (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4iGTc77 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3PatMRI) Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3ptuM83 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3BSULsQ) Good Omens (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3n5DA0M | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3ARTLUe) 30 Rock (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/43NZCKp | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4aEHzIM) Family Guy (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3AtKMuf | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3pLwxMz) Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2VNSNKA | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/37JfHoE) Monty Python's Life of Brian (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3OrjEm5 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3EEb6nr) Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3n4P30y | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3n5ong6) Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2Z49NxL | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3jl68Cn) Alien (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3nbhOZt | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3BX7I4X) Downton Abbey (film) (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3VNBDby | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DuijKf) The Gilded Age: The First Season (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3P8dTeE | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4fvLUA0) The Kids in the Hall – The Complete Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2YYVH0B | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2Z132fs) Community – The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2ZczFaG | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3C1UTpM) Blackadder: The Ultimate Edition (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/30sMUnN | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3BU2WoN) Rick and Morty – Seasons 1-4 (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3lAWSLv | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/31pNymB) The Behavioural Aspects of Marketing, by Dr Keith C.

Sam Harris is the subject today and a man who needs no introduction. Although he's come up and he's come on, we've never actually (technically) decoded him. There is no Gurometer score! A glaring omission and one that needs correcting. It would have been easy for us to cherry-pick Sam being extremely good on conspiracy theories, or extremely controversial on politics, but we felt that neither would be fair. So we opted for a general and broad-ranging recent interview he did with Chris Williamson. Love him or loathe him, it's a representative piece of Sam Harris content, and therefore good material for us.Sam talks about leaving Twitter, and how transformative that was for his life, then gets into his favourite topic: Buddhism, consciousness, and living in the moment. That's the kind of spiritual kumbaya topics that Sam reports causing him little pain online but Chris and Matt- the soulless physicalists and p-zombies that they are- seek to destroy even that refuge. On the other hand, they find themselves determined by the very forces of the universe to nod their meat puppet heads in furious agreement as Sam discusses the problems with free speech absolutism and reactionary conspiracism. That's just a taste of what's to come in this extra-ordinarily long episode to finish off the year. What's the DTG take? You'll have to listen to find out all the details, but we do think there is some selective interpretation of religions at hand and some gut reactions to wokeness that leads to some significant blindspots. So is Sam Harris an enlightened genius, a neo-conservative warmonger, a manipulative secular guru? Or is he, in the immortal words of Gag Halfrunt, Zaphod Beeblebrox's head specialist, "just zis guy, you know?".Sam was DTG's white whale of 2023, but we'll let you be the judge as to whether or not we harpooned him, or whether he's swimming off contentedly, unscathed, into the open ocean.LinksSam Harris - Take Back Control Of Your Mind (4K) | Modern Wisdom 661DTG Special Episode: Sam Harris & Meditation is all you needDTG Special: Interview with Sam Harris on Gurus, Tribalism & the Culture WarDTG Special Episode: Interview with Evan Thompson on Buddhist ExceptionalismDTG Interview with Worobey, Andersen & Holmes: The Lab LeakMaking Sense 311: Did SARS-CoV-2 Escape from a Lab?

Don't Panic“Hitchhiker's by its very nature has always been twisty and turny, and going off into every direction. A film demands a certain shape and discipline that the material just isn't inclined to fit into.”This is a quote by Douglas Adams, creator and writer of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Despite his (and many others') opinion that the material was mostly harmless (and unfilmable!), Adams was adamant for the big screen adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian and Marvin, after successful BBC radio and TV series, and stage shows.A movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was originally mooted in 1982, which would never materialise, but it led to Adams' relaxation of the idea that all his characters must be British, and Adams was fully involved throughout writing the screenplay. The project was resurrected in early 2001 by director Jay Roach, and once again Douglas Adams would write the screenplay, adding new material and insisting only Arthur needed to be British... Adams' sudden death in May 2001 left the producers with two options: say "So long, and thanks for all the fish", or "Don't panic" and carry on with the movie Douglas Adams so desperately wanted to see...I would love to hear your thoughts on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) !CONTACT....

“The universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing big breath.” Jude Currivan, today's guest on Quantum Revolution We have been conditioned to believe that the Universe began with a big bang - an explosion that initiated chaos, disruption and, ultimately, lined up a series of random, chaotic events that eventually led to the creation of life on Earth. This assumption forces us to believe that not only is life a serendipitous and random event resulting from the birth of the Universe, we ourselves are simply accidental aspects of this cosmic event. In her new book, The Story of Gaia, Dr. Currivan shares scientific breakthroughs which detail the 13.8-billion-year story of our universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations, but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided. The universe is created from meaningful information, which accumulates to form our reality. To learn more about Dr. Jude Currivan and her work, please visit https://www.wholeworld-view.org/ To purchase Dr. Currivan's latest book, The Story of Gaia, you can find it at all major retailers and on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Story-Gaia-Evolutionary-Journey-Conscious/dp/164411531X/ If you'd like to learn how you can take back control over the story you tell about who you are and remember your unique, vital and irreplaceable role in the Cosmic Plan, please visit https://www.quantumalignmentsystem.com/ Thank you for joining us for Quantum Revolution.

DON'T PANIC! This week we're covering The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the spirit of absurdism and wild-ass tangents, we briefly become a John Oliver Fan Podcast, then go on a quick rant about deconstructing the capitalist Girlboss hellscape before reboarding the Heart of Gold with Arthur, Ford, Trillion, and Zaphod Beeblebrox. Grab your towel and hang out with us while we search for the answer (or maybe the question?) to life, the universe, and everything.
