13: From dogs to Douglas Adams

Warning: This episode contains lots of swearing and sex talk. Dogs Arthur makes a passing reference to having a dog in the second radio episode, and the first book. So the panel asks “where’s Arthur’s dog?” Dolphins Dolphins are the second most intelligent species on earth, but did you know just how kinky they are? Danny reveals all. Domain of the King Is Elvis really dead, and are we forgetting him? The panel discusses Elvis in recent pop culture, and ask an academic question about the slipping of the King out of our cultural memories. Douglas Adams The panel embarks on some general appreciation of Adams’ work inside and outside of the Hitchhiker’s Guide , involving his Apple fandom and his friendship with Richard Dawkins.
