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.

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