Here's a mail just got in from Dirk Maggs, director of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy radio show continuum:

Quote:
Hi! Please forgive round robin ... but here's a ray of sunshine for
you ...

Every year at this time the US Audio Audio Publishers Association
holds its annual Audie Awards.

Unlike the Sony Awards in the UK, the APA benchmark is about the
production, pure and simple; its innate quality & commercial staying
power.

Last night, in Washington DC, The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy
Tertiary Phase won the 'biggie' - Audie Of The Year.

Congratulations team - and thank you friends for your support.

warmest regards

d

Yes, I saw one briefly when I was at the dealer's last month getting a new battery...though the one I saw was not at quite the same angle.

So does that make the other phases unavailable for a win next year?
