It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E8 - ‘Good Wessex Eggs’ (BBC’s Driving School watch-along)

Some people accuse us of scraping the barrel when it comes to episode content, but the more discerning podcast consumers recognise us for what we really are: archaeologists of 90s social history, performing a vital service in the world of nostalgia.

Join us as we watch along with the very first episode, from 1997.

It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E5 - 'Some bloke with a double barrelled shotgun shoots a couple of holes in the footwell' (Our Favourite VHS Tapes and CD Singles)

If there's one thing that everyone at IBAITN Towers can agree on, it's that the halcyon days of collecting physical media really were the best of times, which the streaming media of today simply cannot replace. To that end, we've decided to spend some time reminiscing about our own personal favourite VHS tapes and CD singles from the decade. We've each picked one VHS and single each to discuss, so tune in to find out which video cassette Alex was given by a famous (and unnamed) neighbour to make up his collection of one (1) VHS, which phrases from the original and best football bloopers tape are still used by Stu today when he needs a haircut, and which obscure CD singles the chaps have chosen to highlight as their favourites of the 90s, one of which already has a place in podcast lore...
