  • The Definitive reviewers

    I’m from Canada so unless we bought Smash Hits or Top of the Pops magazine imported from the UK, a lot of these stories, timelines and details are brand new to me because this was a different world. I can’t get enough of this podcast, it’s like reliving this time with so much information I never knew.

  • DR. Babbington & Dave-o do it again!!

    I love the on going gags “caggy-aggy” “Jenifer Lynn lopez” (although Joel did not say “Jenifer Lynn get down here) that’s on for JLO specific episodes!! Pour the wine and get to cooking gardening or whatever chore project you have going on and play all the episodes! You will feel like David and Joel are in the room giving you a SICKENING lecture on pop culture as Harvard Professors top of their game!

    Love the podcast guys thank you and keep them coming…

    It’s all my era and takes me right back to where I was at the time! I’m loving relistening to all the albums 😜

    Just listened to the Vanessa amorosi episode it’s a shame it wasn’t all for her. Perfect was my 1st wedding dance with my husband in 2021.

    How about a rogue traders and Nat bass episode.

  • One of my all-time favourite podcasts

    I’ve been obsessed since finding the episodes they did on the Saturdays. It’s the perfect mix of nostalgia, all the music I loved growing up, and often new info that must have passed me by the first time round. The Rachel Stevens series was a new high point and I’m excited for what they’ve got planned for the future. I also have to give a shoutout to the forgotten girl bands episodes that take me right back to when I also stanned all these niche groups with only a couple of songs to their name.

Q: Was there an original brief for the album, or how did you and Jewels & Stone end up becoming part of Rachel's second album?
