  • Summary

  • I'm So Not Over It is a comedy history podcast about things you'll remember from the first time round.


    Each week comedy writers Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears explore a different month in history – but with a brief stretching from the mid-70s to the present day. Basically, if you could see it, it would be in colour.


    It’s politics and pop culture for the eighties, nineties, noughties and beyond, delivered in 20 minute hits because we know what your attention span is like.

    So if you remember Westlife but struggle with the Westland affair and if your favourite Aitken was a Tory MP or the one who co-wrote I Should Be So Lucky, we’ve got you covered in this ridiculous historical guide to the information age (even if that information came from a poorly recalled browse of Encarta ‘95).

    These weekly episodes are interspersed with interviews with the people who lived through this period to understand whether it has had any bearing on the lives they lead today.


    The perfect listen, whether you’re Generation X, Gen X, Xennial, Millennial, Generation Z, Gen Z or whatever Pepsi wants to call you.


    I'm So Not Over It is brought to you by the team behind the award nominated Xennial Dome Podcast - Previous guests on that show include Nish Kumar, Jess Philips MP, Trevor & Simon, Isy Suttie and many more and those episodes can be found on the same podcast feed.


    I'm So Not Over It is a Mighty Bunny Production.

    November 2008 (Woolworths)
    Nov 12 2024

    It's the autumn of 2008. The financial crisis is biting. Gareth Gwynn has already lost his job, having recently been made redundant, and the freelance work is starting to dry-up. Meanwhile, the writing is on the wall for Esyllt Sears. After all, how can you work in travel PR if there's no-one out there who wants to travel? On the high street, things are starting to unravel too with the closure of Woolworths. How many blank CDRs did YOU buy? Also, the oldest person in the world died. That's unrelated to Woolworths but is covered in the show.


    If you're a fan of November, generally, check-out our back catalogue where we covered 1987 (Mates Condoms and Miss World), 1996 (Baywatch and Bill Clinton) and 2000 (The Millennium Dome Heist).

    November 1978 (The Times stops, BBC Radio Wales starts)
    Nov 5 2024

    After a short debrief around the Independent Podcast Awards, Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears turn their attention to November 1978. BBC Radio Wales begins while The Times, The Sunday Times and the nation's bakers all take a break. Video footage of the launch of BBC Radio Wales is here complete with talking parrot. An entertaining look back at the early days of the station can be found in I Was There... When Radio Wales Began. They were there, but not all of them were happy about it.

    GEMMA ARROWSMITH
    Oct 31 2024

    Comedy writer and actor Gemma Arrowsmith (The Tracey Ullman Show, The Now Show, Doctor Who) joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears to talk about all things telly from the 80s to the present day. We cover the differences between the TV and live versions of Bottom and why you shouldn't have taken a 10 year old to see the latter. We also cover Ghostwatch, TV telethons, the increasingly baffling finales of kids TV dramas as well as the world's most frustrating computer game.


    You can find Gemma Arrowsmith at her website, on X, or check out her TV history themed Substack, Idiot Box. Her BBC Radio 4 sketch show Gemma Arrowsmith's Sketched Out is all here too. Great.


    If you're a fan of Ghostwatch, do check out our episode all about June 1977 in which we cover "Alternative Three", a Ghostwatch-esque Science Report special about a secret base on Mars which, similarly, spooked some more gullible viewers! And if you're a fan of Bottom or Rik Mayall, Gareth made a BBC Radio 4 documentary all about the man himself, which is still available here.
