Today I discuss the interconnectedness of all things and how often it keeps happening along with a revelation that Adams may have answered 42 but we will never know.

*

In the special episode I speak to two people forever intertwined with the towering genius that was Douglas Adams.

*

John Lloyd who, among other things, got Douglas his pilot for the Hitchhiker's TV series (and is now the powerhouse behind QI), and

*

Kevin Jon Davies who helped created the TV series animation and is, again among other things, editor of the '42' tome of work.

*

We discuss all things Douglas Adams and beyond and I certainly learn new things about him.

So sit back and bathe your ears in conversation about the reality of this genius and the people who helped make his ideas come to life.
