Ep20: Weddings and Marriage - Part 1

To some, like Griff, a Wedding happens once, some years ago. To others, like Rick, a Wedding is a regular occurrence.  If you’ve ever had a wedding stuck in a toilet, or ever tried the ‘working honeymoon’, or find yourself tight rope walking, well, this is the episode for you. You may kiss the bride.  Be part of the podcast, email Rick & Griff here… Questions@SOTSYO.co.uk ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep19 - Phones - Part 2

Seemingly pleased with the sheer quantity of anger and distrust of the modern phone, celebrity neighbours Rick Wakeman and Griff Rhys Jones felt compelled to continue their assault on the devices which live in our pocket, but seemingly listen to us and try and influence what we buy online.  Expective Hawaiian Punch, AI Generated Shark incidents and Predicative Text fails.  Be part of the podcast, email Rick & Griff here… Questions@SOTSYO.co.uk ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep18: Phones - Part 1

In 1876, the phone was invented and at a stroke we could speak to people who were many miles away from us, many of whom we’d deliberately moved away from so as not to be able to speak with them.  In 1973, the Mobile phone was invented and now the people we didn’t want to hear from could contact us in anywhere in the world, at any time.  Perhaps that’s why Rick and Griff hate them so much.  In this episode we’ll hear about the genesis of the phone from Bakelite monsters to Carphones and pointless Apps.  Be part of the podcast, email Rick & Griff here… Questions@SOTSYO.co.uk ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep17: Comics - Part 2

Rick & Griff head back into Comics, and into the unruly world of the Marvel comics, those heady American publications that had Griff dribbling at the shop window. For Rick though, the transition to New Musical Express and Melody Maker were a major draw.  Not much beats a comic though, as we shall hear…..

Ep16: Comics - Part 1

Yes, whether you were a Beano or a Dandy, this first part of a two part chat about these paper wonders, will be sure to spark a few memories.  Just watch out for Gnasher!
