In a very sexy episode, Mark Steadman, Danny Smith and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order.
Enid Kapelsen
Enid is an elderly resident of Boston, MA, who, while on a flight one day, flipped up the shutter to see Arthur and Fenchurch checking in on a one-way trip to bone-town, only several thousand feet in the air.
Envir-o-Form
The Envir-o-Form is a piece of Grebulon technology that we know little about, but can assume makes organic matter. Given we’re now in the age of lab-grown meat and gene-pool spelunking, we examine our potential future on Earth.
Eric Bartlett
Eric Bartlett is Tricia McMillan’s gardner. She being the Tricia who never became the Trillian we know. He’s the kind of person who “doesn’t hold” with things, like, for example, people coming in from New York first thing in the morning.
Escape-o-Buggy
The Escape-o-Buggy is a tiny cigar-shaped escape pod, used by Ford Prefect when leaving the ship orbiting Sesefras Magna.
Evening classes
Evening classes are little pills you can take, to which Lintilla introduces Arthur, in the second radio series. They’re a part of the weird lifestyle of artificial enhancement and disadvantage she’s party to. We’re all familiar with the Matrix “I know kung fu” trope - even Jon, I suspect - but this is the first time I’d ever encountered knowledge in edible form.Electronic thumb
