Description

Pippa and KJ are joined by their friend Emry Sottile to discuss the 2016 TV adaptation of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books, exploring how shows can be undersold by their own networks, and asking how we should engage with our favorite media after learning upsetting things about a creator.
