~1 minute readInfocom Brings Hitchhiker's Back to Public Radio
We are proud to announce that Infocom has now made it possible for all radio listeners to pick up Hitchhiker's! Before it was an interactive story, before it was a TV show, before it was converted into four phenomenal best-selling books, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy™ was a twelve-part radio serial on Britain's BBC. Now Infocom is sponsoring a rebroadcast of the entire serial on National Public Radio (NPR).
This is radio as you've never heard it before. Conceived and written by Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide radio serial is hilarious and contains some of the best sound effects ever produced. Before the interactive story came out, many considered this radio serial the best rendition of The Hitchhiker's Guide. If you have never heard it, you will find it funny, outrageous, mind-boggling, and well worth listening to.
Beginning in January 1985, episodes will be made available to public radio stations across the country for inclusion in their schedules. Check local program listings for times — each station puts together its own schedule independently. If your local public radio station is not carrying the show, call to point out that it is available and that you are interested in it (phone calls are surprisingly effective). So tell your friends ... and don't forget your towel.
