About this listen

Ever have those conversations with a friend where a distant memory of some random film/show/game/toy is sparked & you end up doing a deep dive on it? Our goal with this podcast is to capture that. Each month we take turns to choose one of these cultural artefacts to learn of its origins, reception and legacy, discuss our memories of it, and see how it stands up today.


Toby & Alex were both born in the early '80s so topics are going to be skewed pretty heavily towards the '90s. You have been warned.

    In which one of the hosts may be excited to see deftones, Terry is now the Reform candidate for Barnet, spoilers for a 22 year old album, and maybe he shouldn't have had that 2nd one.
