Many people may remember the books, possibly the ’80s TV show, or even the more recent feature film, but as devoted Hitchhiker’s fans will remember, it started on radio.

We certainly remember that over here at Jabberwocky Audio Theater, and it definitely was something in our mind last year when we were putting together Nostromo 2: Electric Alien Boogaloo.

Well, this year, the series is 42 years old, which is a special anniversary for Hitchhiker’s — and the BBC is planning to celebrate this week. So if you have a chance to tune in, enjoy!
