  • 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.

    Oct 31 2024

    Comedy writer and actor Gemma Arrowsmith (The Tracey Ullman Show, The Now Show, Doctor Who) joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears to talk about all things telly from the 80s to the present day. We cover the differences between the TV and live versions of Bottom and why you shouldn't have taken a 10 year old to see the latter. We also cover Ghostwatch, TV telethons, the increasingly baffling finales of kids TV dramas as well as the world's most frustrating computer game.


    You can find Gemma Arrowsmith at her website, on X, or check out her TV history themed Substack, Idiot Box. Her BBC Radio 4 sketch show Gemma Arrowsmith's Sketched Out is all here too. Great.


    If you're a fan of Ghostwatch, do check out our episode all about June 1977 in which we cover "Alternative Three", a Ghostwatch-esque Science Report special about a secret base on Mars which, similarly, spooked some more gullible viewers! And if you're a fan of Bottom or Rik Mayall, Gareth made a BBC Radio 4 documentary all about the man himself, which is still available here.

  • October 1996 with ELEANOR MORTON! (Live from Aberystwyth Comedy Festival)

    October 1996 with ELEANOR MORTON! (Live from Aberystwyth Comedy Festival)
    Oct 29 2024

    Coming to you, once again, from Aberystwyth Comedy Festival 2024, this is a live recording with a special guest - stand-up and social media star, Eleanor Morton.


    Eleanor's appearence is being split across two episodes - and this is part two. Don't worry, it's completely stand-alone so feel free to start here as Gareth Gwynn presents Eleanor and Esyllt Sears with his research into October 1996. We've got a deep-dive (too deep, if anything) into Granada Men and Motors and a specially Scottish story for Eleanor (who is Scottish and not just a big fan of the country/concept).


    So... Links, eh? Well look, the Men&Motors webpage is here and the big catalogue of everything is here and that's enough to be getting on with but you can work it out. Have a click around. See what you can find. Enjoy yourself.


    Check out Eleanor online on X, Instagram and YouTube - and make sure you spin back a few episodes to find her other appearence as we cover October 2007, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and her "Xennial Dome" choice.

    Oct 24 2024

    Engineer, athlete, author, filmmaker, entrepreneur and comedian Anu Vaidyanathan joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears for a chat about cultural phenomena from the 1970s to the present day. Growing-up in India, we discuss her earliest memories, her tech-savvy family and her move to the USA - before the conversation, like her life, takes a left-turn into discussing the difference between an Ironman and Ultraman Trialthlon - and some of the characters she met along the way, while persuing both! We also discuss Clown School and Catholic School. Y'know, the two types of school.


    Follow Anu on Instagram and X.


    The edition of Kiri's Comedy Club about stand-up in a second language, featuring Anu and Esyllt is here.
