By the Book: Bibliography - Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams would have turned 70 on March 11 2022, which is why we're dedicating our bibliography episode in March to his life and works. Best known for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Adams was a novelist and essayist, but also wrote for radio, and both the big and small screen. We discuss the impact his work has had on us, and on humourists and science fiction authors that followed. And then in Footnotes, we discuss the many, many adaptations there have been of his works.
