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!
