Who doesn't need a laugh these days, am I right?

The original radio broadcasts of "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" from 1978, which precede the books, are on Internet Archive.

The first two so-called "Phases" are the ones that come prior to the books. They're known as "Primary" and "Secondary." Each one has six episodes and each episode is called a "Fit." This is the first one: Primary Phase - "Fit the First."

There are other Phases that are based on the books. Those Phases and other content are also on the link to "Fit the First."

These BBC radio broadcasts are funny and absurd. At least I think so. Here's some additional info:
