We grew up in the UK from 1970 to 1990. This show is all about the two of us looking back and putting bits of our shared past under the microscope, from the early ‘80s ‘Protect and Survive’ /Mutually Assured Destruction nuclear panic, to the theme music from The Incredible Hulk; from Wimpy Burgers to wimpy Orac from Blake’s 7; from the Falklands War to Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus. We look back with fondness and bafflement and sometimes with abject disbelief at what life was like when we were gro ...

Sleep Stories with a twist. Intended to send you to sleep with a chuckle. I've had many sleep problems over my life, but I've often found laughs can (perhaps counterintuitively) help. Going back to the BBC radio comedies from the 60s and 70s I used to listen to growing up (in the 80s!), I find 'deliberate' comedy content can be a bit too intense for sleep. On this podcast I want to play with the medium, try and get a few gentle laughs into otherwise hypnotic, sleepy content. As we start out ...
