Mark Steadman, Jon Hickman and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order.
Fire Mountains of Frazfraga
We don’t know much about the Fire Mountains of Frazfraga, except that it’s not a hospitable location for a Silastic Armorfiend of Striterax. The panel discusses the most inhospitable places they’ve been to.
Five-D
5D TV is, we can only assume, two better than Tri-D, which we’ll no doubt cover when we get to the Ts. For now though, Jon Hickman is in charge of 5DTV sales.
Flaninian Pobble Bead
A Flaninian Pobble Bead is a form of galactic currency. It is only exchangeable with itself, and therefore isn’t really counted as money by the Guide. As Brits we have a peculiar problem accepting certain forms of currency north of the border, despite it being legal tender. Here, Bounder shares his budget for the just-about-managing species.
Flare-riding
Flare-riding is one of the most exotic and exhilarating sports in existence, and those who can dare and afford it are amongst the most lionized men in the Galaxy. It is also of course stupefyingly dangerous - those who don’t die riding invariably die of sexual exhaustion at one of the Daedalus Club’s Apres-Flare parties. The panel discusses their most hair-raising moments.
Flargathon
Flargathon is a planet with gas swamps so stinky that the Gaseans who make this world their home, hired the Magratheans to build them a better world. Here, the Jons discuss the little bits they’d like to change about their respective locales.
Flex-o-Panel
The Flex-o-Panel is a wrist panel that can show Sub-Etha TV, and probably do other stuff. Here, Jon H tries to convince Steadman he’s wrong to want one of these.

What is Beware of the Leopard: the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy podcast?
New additions to the book with the famous words "Don't Panic" on the cover. Smart and funny, fusing real-world observation with a writing style Douglas Adams fans have sorely missed.
With each topic, the panel of authors and performers present an essay in the style of a Hitchhiker's Guide entry, which is then discussed in a format that fans of BBC radio comedy know well, but with a 21st century twist.
Whether you've only read the first book, seen the film, or are completely new to the world of Arthur Dent and his friends, Beware of the Leopard will make you chuckle, and if you're a really cool frood, you'll love the team's attention to detail. And if you're new our podcast, check out our previous season in which the team discussed every known thing in Douglas Adams' sprawling universe (or the Whole Sort of General Mishmash, as it's known).
