Episode Six: Hitchhikers Guide and The Beeb

by PODCAST · Published February 23, 2014 · Updated February 23, 2014

Episode 6: Shiri and Luke pull up an Infinite Mprobability Drive and, armed with Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters and their towels, discuss the various incarnations of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (listen for the embedded writing segment on asides). Next, they delve into Broadchurch and the general superiority, though sometimes spectacular failure and or/lameosity, of genuine BBC television and its bastard stepchildren on BBC America. Some stuff Sucks, but a lot of things are Good. The Last Chance Salon Podcast: now with actual intros and outros! Recorded if not actually edited into the episodes…
