    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?


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

  • The Best Of The Xennial Dome (Part II)
    Sep 16 2024

    Tickets for "The Xennial Dome" live at Aberyswyth Comedy Festival on Sunday 6th October are available here.

    ==


    A Xennial is someone born between 1977 and 1985 - the tail end of Gen X and the older (or "geriatric", ugh) millennials.

    The Xennial Dome is/was the podcast which looked back at the Xennial era - Presented by comedy writer Gareth Gwynn and stand-up Esyllt Sears, the show studied the month in xennial history, as well as interviewing notable xennials about their experiences growing up alongside the internet and leaving home just in time for a global financial crisis. Other history podcasts tackle battles and empires, legendary figures and tragic antiheroes and ours does too - but in the form of Northern Rock, 20th Century Fox and Pete Waterman.

    This is the second of two Best Of episodes which draw a line under the podcast’s "Xennial Dome" era. We'll be back in October with a new name... But you'll be fine. If you coped with the Marathon, Jif and Opal Fruits rebrands, we’re more than confident you can navigate this.

    Also, since recording the links for this, we have discovered that we have been nominated in the Best Comedy category at the Independent Podcast Awards - which is very exciting indeed. Thanks so much for downloading/listening* to the show over the last three years. Hell of a time to choose to rebrand the pod, mind...
