Matt Watts and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Written By Joe Mahoney

Re-Creative returns for a second season!

With guest Matt Watts to talk about Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Our podcast Re-creative is back!

On this, the first episode of our second season, Mark A Rayner and I join writer, comedian and actor Matt Watts to discuss the classic radio series The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTG).

That’s right, before it was a book or a movie, the Douglas Adams classic was a radio series on the BBC.

We talk about the nature of writing. What it’s like working on long-form prose after spending a career writing jokes and scripts. How fun it is to fly by the seat of your pants, and how it’s possible to get better and better at it all as you get older.

But don’t panic. Then we take a nerdy left turn and really get into Hitchhiker's Guide!
