One of the many major problems with producing podcasts is that of who you get to do it, or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarise: it is a well-known and much limited fact that those people who most want to produce podcasts are ipso facto those lists duty to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made a podcast producer should a no account be allowed to do the job. To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
And so this is the situation we find: a succession of podcast producers who so much enjoy the fun and palavra of being in power that they never really noticed that they're not. And somewhere in the shadows behind them, who? Who can possibly rule, if no one who wants to can be allowed to?

To commemorate Towel Day 2021, Mark, Danny, and the Jons present the worst bits of Beware of the Leopard. These are all the bits that are normally cut from the main body of the episode and shoved to the back, to sit in shame and think about what they did. Now we're bringing them out into the light for you to judge, share, and hopefully on some level, enjoy.
New episode coming in the next couple of weeks, promise.Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join Mark and the Jons as they finish up the last of the Zs in the Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy.
Zaphod Beeblebrox
Zaphod Beeblebrox is â or was â President of the Imperial Galactic Government. His favourite mother is Alice Beeblebrox, of 108 Astral Cresent, Zoofroozelchester, Betelgeuse V.
Zaphodâs great grandfather is Zaphod Beeblebrox the Fourth. He grew an extra arm for Trillian, which took him six months.
Zarniwoop
Hidden away in a pocket universe, and played by Jonathan Price, Zarniwoop is the guy who concocted the plan, with Zaphod, to steel the Heart of Gold, in order to find out who really rules the universe.
Zarquon
The second coming of the great prophet Zarquon is highly anticipated, and finally happens at Milliways, just before the universe goes down the plug hole.
âHoly Zarquonâs singing fish!â is an expression of surprise and alarm Zaphod uses when he falls out of the giant cup on Brontitall.
Zentalquabula
On Zentalquabula are found ancient alabastrum quarries. An elegant terrace on one of the planets that was home to the Guide, was carved from this stone.

Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they saunter into the Z section of the Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy.
Wormhole Disco
The place Zaphod and Roosta transport themselves to is the Wormhole Disco, which might as well have been called the Placeholder Club. In this disco there are nozels on the wall that spray the smell of hot sweat over everything, and the place is packed with dancing robots.
Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged
Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged was â indeed, is â one of the Universeâs very small number of immortal beings.
Heâd had his immortality thrust upon him by an unfortunate accident with an irrational particle accelerator, a liquid lunch and a pair of rubber bands. The precise details of the accident are not important because no one has ever managed to duplicate the exact circumstances under which it happened, and many people have ended up looking very silly, or dead, or both, trying.
He was played by Toby Longworth in the radio series, and heâs made it his mission to insult every little being in the universe, just for something to do.
Xanthic Re-Structron Destabilised Zenon Emitters
The Xanthic Re-Structron Destabilised Zenon Emitter is just one of those throwaway lines Adams tossed in to a conversation between two robots. But if you put that combination of words into the Internet, you get this interesting question, which Iâm going to pose to Danny:
If there was a drone in the sky directing some type of microwave energy into your house, would you report it to the officials or not?Ysllodins
Ysllodins is the star around which most of the Galaxyâs major insurance underwriters live, or rather lived. As far as I can tell, this one isnât real.
Zamphuor
Zamphuor is an unknown ingredient to add when mixing a pangalactic gargleblaster.
Zansellquasure Flamarion Bridge Club from beyond the Vortvoid of Qvarne
The Zansellquasure Flamarion Bridge Club from beyond the Vortvoid of Qvarne is a party that dines at Miliways, the restaurant at the end of the universe.

Wave harmonic theory of historical perception
Reason not withstanding, the universe continues unabated. Its history is terribly long and awfully difficult to understand, even in its simpler moments which are, roughly speaking, the beginning and the end. The wave harmonic theory of historical perception, in its simplest form, states that history is an illusion caused by the passage of time, and that time is an illusion caused by the passage of history. It also states that oneâs perception of these illusions is conditioned by three important factors: who you are; where you are; and when you last had lunch with Zaphod Beeblebrox.
Whales
A short-lived sperm whale was brought about by the Improbability Drive on one of its first hops along the probability access.
/Where God Went Wrong/ and /Who is this God Person Anyway?/
Where God Went Wrong is, presumably, Oolon Colluphidâs first blockbuster heretical hit, and part of a trilogy that comprises this, Some More of Godâs Greatest Mistakes â which you can hear about us talk in season 4, episode 2 â and Who is this God Person Anyway?.
William Franklyn
William Franklyn played the Guide in the remaining three radio series, after the death of the original voice, Peter Jones.
Wise Old Bird
The Wise Old Bird was pllayed by John le Mesurier in the second radio series. Arthur meets him on Brontital where he explains the history of the bird people, who fled the shoe event horizon, shunning their shoes and taking to the skies, vowing never to set foot on the ground again.

Vogon constructor fleets
Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the Galaxy â not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldnât even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat and recycled as firelighters.
The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick your finger down his throat, and the best way to irritate him is to feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
Vogon poetry
Vogon poetry is the third worst poetry in the universe.
Vogsphere
Many, many light years from earth lies the grim and long abandoned planet, Vogsphere. Somewhere on a fetid, fog-bound mud bank on this planet there stands, surrounded by the dirty, broken and empty carapaces of the last few jeweled scuttling crabs, a small stone monument which marks the place, where it is thought, the species Vogon Vogonblurtus first arose. On the monument there is carved an arrow which points away into the fog, under which are inscribed in plain, simple letters the words âThe buck stops there.â
Volluing
For the meaning of the word âvollueâ, buy a copy of Squornshellous Swamptalk at any remaindered bookshop, or alternatively buy The Ultra-Complete Maximegalon Dictionary, as the University will be very glad to get it off their hands and regain some valuable parking lots.
Vroomfondel
Vroomfondel is a philosopher from Cruxwan University. In the radio series he was played by Jim Broadbent.
Walkmen
For some reason, Ford throws a bunch of Walkmens out to the crowds thronging around the ship that lands on Earth, in Mostly Harmless.
