Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears talk taters, as 2008 marked the International Year Of The Potato. Want to know more? It's all here on The Website or in the PDF. We also discuss the career of Jeremy Beadle and 1980s TV budgets and there's a reminder to catch us in John-Luke Roberts' Sound Heap podcast, one of the episodes of which, is here.

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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!)

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?
