And will Zaphod's trick of (no-hands) catching Thor's helmet on his head be the Sub-Etha hit he hopes?I'm not sure. But I do think, that this will be it. The final episode in the readings...Ermahgerd... #dontpandemic #dontpanic #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hhgttg #hitchhikersguide #douglasadams #fortytwo #lifetheuniverseandeverything #arthurdent #fordprefect #zaphodbeeblebrox #trillian #marvin #paranoidandroid #thehitchhikersguide #thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #hg2g

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 #hg2g

    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 #hg2g

    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 #hg2g

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!
  • The Santa Special - with The Bearded Wit & Vic Hyland

    36:48
    It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to things festive, to the sharing of love, the sharing of joy, of light and happiness. But this doesn’t happen without a bit of effort from all of us. Not least the jolliest of the jolly. In a world exclusive, guest presenter Vic Hyland (and long-time friend of The Bearded Wit) manages to track down and grab a few minutes of very precious time to talk with the big guy himself during a quick coffee break. Vic learns a little about what it really takes to make the festive season happen, how long it’s actually been happening, and in this social-media-driven world, what hashtag Santa thinks best describes the true nature of the season. Once you’ve had a listen, don’t forget to give Vic your support by following his podcast, and doing the same for the Big Beardy Guy himself…Vic's details:https://www.patreon.com/vichylandwww.vichyland.comwww.Ikaromusic.comThe Big Guy's details:www.patreon.com/thebeardedwithttps://shows.acast.com/611d11033142190013721b36https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/creative/id1481493729?i=1000535001649
