Since we needed a bonus Bonus Episode and Random, Arthur, and Ford were approached by squirrels with offerings in the forest and since my brother, John, and I REALLY like telling our squirrel stories, here is an episode of squirrel stories. In the tradition of our previous Valentine's Day Bonus Episode, like The Guide, Mk. II, we have no filters and have not censored our language and the dirty jokes fly.

Hi everyone!
I can't let episode number 42 pass without recognising the number 42's significance to me and many others around the globe.
What is that significance? well I won't spoil that here, but the connection is Douglas Adams and his literacy genius...so join me while I explain why I love his writings, and listen to some quotes.
Please don't let my ramblings put you off- go and read his works!

Our journey through the vowels of fan engagement continues! We're serving up another dish in this episode, with the main entree being E for Express. How you express yourself is critically important in making sure you're unique AND that you have some overlap with previously successful work. Douglas Adams joins us from the great beyond (or rather, he won't, because he didn't believe in it) to aid us in understanding how to make sure you're being YOU when you craft content so that fans know what they're getting in for and why they should sign up.

Jeff and Bryan read Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen (so you don’t have to) and continue their discussion of the strong and weak points of a book that surely seemed like a good idea at the time. This book is a novelization of a script Douglas Adams wrote for Doctor Who that was never picked up. So, he used many of the ideas in this in the third book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, Life, the Universe, and Everything.
