Mark Steadman, Jon Hickman and Jon Bounds embark on a mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order.

A device you can add to your spaceship, “that only wimps go for”. It might also be prime fodder for a Top Gear discussion.

The creature with the sprained mind, who constructed the Cathedral of Hate in Arthur’s name, after believing him to be the cause of his many deaths. Here we share some confessions and decide if Agrajag was right to accuse Arthur of killing him several times.

A colourless, volatile liquid formed from the fermentation of sugars.

A giant orange star about 65 light years from our sun, and the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus. It is a real thing, Jon. 

A star in the Perseus constellation, and is home to the Algolian Suntiger. It is also a real thing (the star, not the tiger). 

A world of stunning natural beauty. It only gets one mention, in Life, the Universe and Everything , as the place Trillian flies the Heart of Gold to. In this episode, we also find out that Jon Hickman names his running shoes after his favourite sci-fi spaceships. 

The god whose existence is probably the most spurious, as he was likely invented by Old Thrashbarg. Here we share our favourite, possibly-offensive religious epithet and find out that Almighty Bob is a way for the people of Lamuella to exercise care in the community.
