“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.

— Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Love this! 🙌 Just started listening to the Audiobooks.

You mean the radio show, I hope?

Looks like the web archive is down for me atm. As long as you can hear multiple voice actors and sound effects, you're at the right place.

This is the one narrated by the one and only Stephen Fry <3

Well, that's good too, but if you're listening to audio, might as well listen to a full cast.

Could you link to what you're referring to?

Here: https://archive.org/details/HitchhikersGuideRadioShowLive

I believe the actual show starts from the 7th file in the list (the first ones are interviews and other such things that happened later)

Edit: The radio show is how it all started AFAIK.

Edit 2: please keep in mind that the content of the radio show isn't exactly the same as the book.
