I'm So Not Over It

By: Gareth Gwynn & Esyllt Sears
  • 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.

  • December 1999 (Rowing Boat Records and Cliff Richard's Return)
    Dec 10 2024

    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?


    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.

  • December 1979 (An Exciting Episode 98 Announcement!)
    Dec 4 2024

    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!
