Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they traverse the S section of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Strag

A strag is a non-hitchhiker. Given that we’ve discussed the idea of the hitchhiker as a class of person,

Strangulous Stilettans of Jajazikstak

The Strangulous Stilettans of Jajazikstak are mortal enemies of the Silastic Armourfiends of Striterax.

Strateej-o-Mat

The Strateej-o-Mat is a strategy aparatus on the Grebulon ship, that will only follow the commnads of the Chief Strategic Officer.

Strenuous Garfighters of Stug

The Strenuous Garfighters of Stug are mortal enemies of the Silastic Armourfiends of Striterax.

Sub-Cyclic Normality Assert-i-Tron

A Sub-Cyclic Normality Assert-i-Tron is a marvellous device for counteracting the effects of the Infinite Improbability Drive.

Sub-Etha Net

The Sub-Etha Net is basically the galactic Internet. Given that the sub-eta radio band existed first, I think this is a pretty good name, considering ethernet is already a thing.

Sub-Etha News-Matics

The Sub-Etha News-Matic is a kind of space Twitter.

Sub-Etha Sens-o-Matic

The Sub-Etha Sens-o-Matic is a device that scans for signals from spacecraft. On prehistoric Earth, Ford detects eddies in the spacetime continuum and with Arthur, catches a lift through time on a Chesterfield sofa.

Christmas in the Shack

One of the many major problems with producing podcasts is that of who you get to do it, or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarise: it is a well-known and much limited fact that those people who most want to produce podcasts are ipso facto those lists duty to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made a podcast producer should a no account be allowed to do the job. To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

And so this is the situation we find: a succession of podcast producers who so much enjoy the fun and palavra of being in power that they never really noticed that they're not. And somewhere in the shadows behind them, who? Who can possibly rule, if no one who wants to can be allowed to?
