  • Pretty good but…

    Josh is very good as presenter and host, but the ones with Tom Craine are ruined by having Tom Craine on them

  • Josh Widdecombe makes it!

    Great premise for a podcast, but Josh makes it! Excellent co-presenters and brilliant chemistry. I learn something and always laugh so much. Exactly my humour! Would love a deep dive on kids’ TV like Nightmare, Fun House, Round The Twist…

  • Fantastic

    So refreshing to hear a podcast with structure. Too many now are like a random phone call between two mates with nothing to say.

  • I’m crying-laughing

    No words, just laughter. I was a child or teenager when most of these episodes were set. I never knew the world of my past was so stupid! I found myself laughing so much that I felt embarrassed at myself, because I was listening at the laundrette. I can’t recommend this podcast enough. It’s absolutely genius, while being well researched and delivered with love.
