A second helping of Christmas Leftovers - this time made up from some bits and bobs we were sad to snip out of our interview series for time.
Enjoy BBC Radio 5 Live's Elis James (live in the London Welsh Centre) discussing his family's attitude to technology, his time in a band and having a decent stab at a round of Mario Kart on a screen which, we will admit, was too big.
We've also got the brilliant comedy writer and actor Gemma Arrowsmith giving us the low-down on the Voyager mission (which came up in our July 1979 episode) plus, for reasons I'm now struggling to remember, a discussion about Welsh TV star Arfon Haines Davies and how nice he is.
If you haven't caught them yet, do check-out the full episodes with Elis James and Gemma Arrowsmith.
Don't forget, Esyllt and Gareth's end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available on BBC Sounds (but will only be there till the end of the month, so do be quick!)

Our end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds.
However, if you've alright caught our look back at 2024 and want to know even more about the year we're leaving behind, then this is the episode for you! With a strict one-hour run-time on BBC Radio Wales (actually 55'47) there was loads that Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears wanted to cover but couldn't get round to - which is what appears in today's now traditional Christmas Leftovers episode. We cover the year's animal news, what we think of the Welsh FA's horn and we enter more traditional ISNOI territory with Colin Firth's wet shirt.
This is Christmas Leftovers Part 1 as next week we'll have some bits and bobs we didn't manage to squeeze into our most interview series, so do make sure you're subscribed for that as it'll be great.

Our end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds.
If you're a Xennial (or thereabouts), December 1993 was probably "peak Christmas" and amidst all the excitement, you may well have found yourself too busy to fully take in the signifcance of Nelson Mandela's Nobel Peace prize win or the absolutely batshit timing of The Queen's letter to Charles and Diana urging them to get on the divorce train. We cover both events in this show which probably isn't Classically Festive, in the truest sense of the word - but it's what happened in 1993 and there's not much we can do about it now.

Some previous Decembers covered by the podcast include December 1989, in which Pete Waterman postponed his wedding and December 1987 in which Eastenders trialled a live segment in a New Year special. Both are ridiculous in their own way. There's also the last three episodes on the feed.

How best to mark 100 episodes of the podcast? By reflecting on the other Significant Numerical Event which many of us lived through and may even remember - the build-up and fall-out of the 1st January 2000. The Millennium.
Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears look through the Radio Times for New Millennium Eve itself before watching BBC One's coverage of the night itself. And you can do the same thing! All 28 hours are on YouTube, but we join the action around 11.30pm (the link should take you to roughly the right spot although we then skip through the night itself, you can do it in real time!)

Our end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds.
Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears are gearing-up for the Millennium on the podcast this week - and you'll probably be shocked by just how little Millennium Bug based content there is (if you remember, that was an October 1999 problem).
Turns out that back in December 1999 people were more concerned with drunken firework useage and whether or not Jesus deserves a cut of Cliff Richard's latest single. Plus there's the incredible story of Tori Murden and her trip(s) across the Atlantic.
There's loads of videos to check-out off the back of this episode.
Tori Murden's story (complete with video clips) is told in a few different places but I'd check out this recent version by BBC World Service and also this 1998 report from Inside Edition.
And if you have 9 more seconds to spare, check out Emma Bunton flinging someone's drink away to make... some sort of point about fireworks?

Content Warning - Father Christmas existential chat. You don't work for years in commercial radio without flagging THAT up.
Esyllt Sears and Gareth Gwynn welcome you to either episode 98 or episode 100 of the podcast, depending on your policy regarding Best Of episodes. If you spin back to September (into the gap which separates The Xennial Dome with I'm So Not Over It) you'll find two high-quality compilations of some of our favourite moments under the old name - but Esyllt isn't quite as forgiving when other forms of media try and do the same thing (maybe that's because we're not trying to sell you them on DVD like Friends were).
Beyond that, there's discussion surrounding the 1979 Christmas RadioTimes - The YouTube video in which someone leafs through a copy against a relaxing classical music backdrop, is available here while ITV's return to the airwaves post-strike is here.
And, of course, there's our Big Episode 98 Announcement....
We have made an end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales! I Can't Get Over 2024 is an hour-long look back at the year with guests, archive and an ill-advised attempt at a political package recorded in Cardiff Bay. It's on-air in Christmas week, but you can get hold of the whole thing early by heading to BBC Sounds this weekend!

Esyllt Sears travels back to 1980, bringing us news of the first ever BBC Children In Need (although not the network's first charity appeal, leading to an Egg Week themed diversion) and the umpteenth Miss World competition - which didn't go exactly to plan. The BlueSky account mentioned in the addendum is here.
If you're a fan of November, generally, check-out our back catalogue where, last year, we covered 1987 (Mates Condoms and Miss World), 1996 (Baywatch and Bill Clinton) and 2000 (The Millennium Dome Heist and another Miss World!)

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).

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.

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.

Coming to you, once again, from Aberystwyth Comedy Festival 2024, this is a live recording with a special guest - stand-up and social media star, Eleanor Morton.
Eleanor's appearence is being split across two episodes - and this is part two. Don't worry, it's completely stand-alone so feel free to start here as Gareth Gwynn presents Eleanor and Esyllt Sears with his research into October 1996. We've got a deep-dive (too deep, if anything) into Granada Men and Motors and a specially Scottish story for Eleanor (who is Scottish and not just a big fan of the country/concept).
So... Links, eh? Well look, the Men&Motors webpage is here and the big catalogue of everything is here and that's enough to be getting on with but you can work it out. Have a click around. See what you can find. Enjoy yourself.
Check out Eleanor online on X, Instagram and YouTube - and make sure you spin back a few episodes to find her other appearence as we cover October 2007, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and her "Xennial Dome" choice.

Engineer, athlete, author, filmmaker, entrepreneur and comedian Anu Vaidyanathan joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears for a chat about cultural phenomena from the 1970s to the present day. Growing-up in India, we discuss her earliest memories, her tech-savvy family and her move to the USA - before the conversation, like her life, takes a left-turn into discussing the difference between an Ironman and Ultraman Trialthlon - and some of the characters she met along the way, while persuing both! We also discuss Clown School and Catholic School. Y'know, the two types of school.

Coming to you from Aberystwyth Comedy Festival 2024, this is a live recording with a special guest - stand-up and social media star, Eleanor Morton.
Eleanor's appearence is being split across two episodes, and in the first half Esyllt Sears is presenting Eleanor and Gareth Gwynn with her findings in-and-around October 2007. Keeping Up With The Kardashians had begun and some astronauts in space needed waking up. We also quiz Eleanor about her earliest memories and she picks and item for our regular feature, The Xennial Dome - selecting a significant TV show for the museum we're building dedicated to late 20th Century life.
Check out Eleanor online on X, Instagram and YouTube - and make sure you subscribe to the feed for another appearence later in the month as we turn our attention to October 1996.

Podcaster, YouTuber, gamer and 90s naughty boy Gav Murphy joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears in the London Welsh Centre for a chat about cultural phenomena from the 1970s to the present day.
Gav talks us through what it was like to be on the cutting-edge of naughty-boy tech in the 1990s. We're prank calling people on payphones, we're hacking mobiles, and we're downloading all-sorts of muck on 56k modems - but don't get caught, or you're going "to the homes".
Follow Gav on Instagram and X and check-out his podcast Regular Features and his YouTube channel RKG.
This show was recorded under the old name (listen carefully and you can tell!) - So why not check-out some related episodes. Other people we got to play a round of Mario Kart on-stage include Sunil Patel (who also had a run-in with printed filth in the 90s, although this time not his fault!) and Ria Lina.

We've had some incongruous pairings of stories on this show before - but this one might take some beating. The sitcom Keeping Up Appearances launched and Esyllt Sears has a pretty comprehensive run-down of the facts behind the fun. This is coupled with a rattle through the post-Cold War reunification of Germany as seen through the eyes of Margaret Thatcher - and, as if to symbolize the coming together of two countries, this episode was actually recorded in two locations and later stitched together. See if you can spot the join.

Stand-up comedian and social media star Rosie Holt joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears in a sound proof booth just days after the general election had been called to discuss the news and cultural phenomena she remembers (or doesn't remember) from the 1970s to the present day. There's revelations, a deep-dive into a single episode of Live and Kicking and long-standing mysteries solved (but all with the sound on Gareth's laptop turned-off for rights reasons). We also cover the Olympics, the dome, what's it like pretending to be a Tory MP and how many blue jackets she owns - as well as the transferrable skills you can take into comedy from estate agency.
The obituary of Teletext hero Nick Fisher is here (although this one doesn't mention Teletext directly, it was him!)
For more Saturday morning kids TV chat, do make sure to check out our interview with Live and Kicking legends Trevor and Simon, from back in 2021, as they lift-the-lid on Going Live, Live and Kicking and early-90s tours.
Rosie Holt is on X and Instagram and TikTok and her topical podcast NonCensored is back for a brand new series, so check that out. Especially this episode featuring Esyllt Sears.

We're on-location in the place which was once the epicentre of the Pony Poster scene - It's the teenage bedroom of Esyllt Sears. Gareth Gwynn has arrived in Aberystwyth with recording equipment to capture the ambience while the pair also discuss Queen's We Are The Champions and Frestonia.
Gareth Gwynn Declares Indepndence From Wales, a BBC Radio Wales show about independent towns and what independence means, is available here.
I Was There, a BBC Radio 5 Live show about Frestonia presented by Adrian Chiles, is available here.

Stand-up comedian and Podcast Polymath Elis James joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears in the London Welsh Centre for the first episode in a brand new series of interviews covering cultural phenomena from the 1970s to the present day.
And who better to kick things off than Elis? A stone-cold enthusiast of The Past, we cover his early appearences on Welsh TV, why Carmarthen became the centre of the artistic universe thanks to Jurassic Park and how Welsh football fans kept-up with the latest team news when no-one else really cared.
Despite being the first show released under the new name, it was actually recorded under the old one (listen carefully and you can tell!) - but why not check-out some episodes from our back catalogue relating to topics and people mentioned in the show...
Interviews with Nish Kumar, Steffan Garrero and Isy Suttie are all in the archive plus, if like Elis, you missed out on the Manics at the Millennium Studium, check out the emails section of this episode (July 1979) to discover why you didn't miss all that much!
Tickets for "The Xennial Dome" live at Aberyswyth Comedy Festival on Sunday 6th October are available here. (Yes, it's under the old name, but it's fine, we'll have fun).

I'm So Not Over It: A comedy history podcast about stuff you'll remember.
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. If we've set this up correctly. Let's see, eh?
