Powet.TV would like to remind you that May 25th is Universal Towel Day. Do you know where yours is?

If you don’t know the importance of your towel, then today is a good day to dive into the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Powetcast, our first-ever podcast that dives into the world of the original radio play, and a fan interpretation of the materials by Not Them Productions originally recorded in 1999-2000 — bringing together the disparate elements of the radio plays and the books which came later.

Also, deep in the show notes, you’ll find Mr. Adams’ links to Doctor Who, a graphic version of the H2G2 text adventure, store links to buy the all three “phases” of the radio show from “Primary” to “Quintessential”, and more!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your towel and start listening!

(I hope everyone had a happy Towel Day!)

This is it! Our last episode… of original content. The Not Them Crew provided us with their prototype version of Fit the First with just Keith, Colin, and Tom. They play drastically different roles than in the final version, but it’s a neat insight into the creative process.

This week we’re sitting down with Alice Ecker — voice of Trillian, the surprised looking sperm whale, Deep Thought programmer #1, and one of the Galgafrinchan survivors — to talk about her various roles, the role (and fate) of women in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the upcoming Towel Day on May 25th!

Check out more details about Towel Day after the jump.

Eight years in the making (sort of), Not Them Productions and Powet.TV are proud to present to you Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Fit the Fifth — The Restaurant at the end of the Universe! If you’ve listened to six amazing podcasts today, why not round it off with an aural trip to Milliways?

19:30 – Fit the Fifth Clip

What’s this, a filler week? Not exactly.

That’s not to say you’ll hear nothing from Fit the Fifth; for the first time you’ll hear from someone who isn’t Keith, Colin, or Tom talking about making this fit — Powet’s very own Phil Bond! Afterward, we’ll also share a completed clip from the fit, which will be totally completed for next week’s episode.

Look after the jump for an explanation of one of the more opaque references to a game project we worked on — including a downloadable demo of said game — and even a link to a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy game, playable online!

(Fit the Fourth starts at 07:30.)

It’s finally arrived, boys and girls — the final of the four originally-completed episodes by Not Them Productions. Our heroes make their escape from the planet of Magrathea to… where exactly? Those familiar with the original story may be surprised (but not unpleasantly so) by the answer.
