Engaging and conversation-starting

Instead of being a tongue-in-cheek nostalgia trip, the content is discussed and approached in a serious but entertaining way, taking in a fascinating period of mixed media and looking at the society and environment that created it and the impact it has had on subsequent generations. A great listen.

A nostalgic reopening of old wounds

Wonderful show, on the back of the amazing books that the chaps patiently and lovingly put together. Their energy and passion comes across so well. The guests are great.
If you're a child of the 70s/80s this is an absolute must. It's a lovely trip down memory lane that turns into the highway to hell as we look back at the terrifying culture of yesteryear! Do have nightmares!

A great listen and brought back some things I had wiped from my memory

The flow of conversation works really well and no podcast is the same. I’m going to buy the books now after listening to these podcasts and will probably (most likely) listen again. Perfect of you’re 40+ and want to remise about life as a child in the 80’s and 90’s when we had a lot more freedom and adventures.
