  • 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.

  • January 1978 (Otters and Space)

    January 1978 (Otters and Space)
    Jan 21 2025

    Esyllt and Gareth's end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds (but there's only a week to go, so be quick!)


    Esyllt Sears looks back at 1978 and the ban on otter hunting - which is probably the reason, 47 years later, you're trying to listen to this over the deafening sound of countless otters. We also discuss Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, and Gareth uses the phrase "but Russia..." about six million times in under ten minutes.

  • January 1997 (Swampy and Landmine Diana)

    January 1997 (Swampy and Landmine Diana)
    Jan 14 2025

    Esyllt and Gareth's end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds (but will only be there till the end of the month, so do be quick!)


    Gareth Gwynn has spent the Christmas break listening to an audiobook all about Diana (Tina Brown's The Diana Chronicles, if you're interested) and Esyllt Sears is initially concerned this is going to become his entire personality - before becoming equally engrossed in the book, herself. It's all relevant to this week's episode as January 1997 marked the beginning of Diana's landmine campaign with the Red Cross. It was also the month in which Swampy the eco-warrior (do we still use that term?) called it a day and returned to the surface.
