I definitely enjoy the podcasts that we get to listen to
because to be quite honest it’s helpful to just have to auditorily listen to
something while still being able to do other things and our time is sometimes
restricted according to everyone’s major. It was quite a refreshing comical
relief kind of podcast following the adventures of hapless Englishman Arthur Dent and his friend Ford Prefect, an alien who writes for the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, a
pan-galactic encyclopedia in comparison to some of the other novels that we’ve
read that have deeper concepts that leave you thinking way long after the story
has ended. After Earth is destroyed in
the first episode, Arthur and Ford find themselves aboard a stolen spaceship
commandeered by a motley crew including Zaphod Breeblelox the depressed robot Marvin and Trillian, the only other human survivor of Earth's
destruction. I really enjoyed the theme tune used in it so I looked it up and
found out that it is "Journey of the Sorcerer", an instrumental piece that was composed by Bernie Leadon and recorded by The Eagles on their album One of these nights. Adams chose this song
because of its futuristic-sounding nature, but also for the fact that it had a banjo in it which as Geoffrey Perkins recalls Adams said would give it an "on
the road, hitch-hiking feel". Overall I like the style of this genre it’s
a lighter load kind of feeling.
