About this listen

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.

    What was your go-to family holiday? And what was your most memorable break? Let us know on imsonotoverit@gmail.com.


    With summer underway and our own I'm So Not Over It roadtrip approaching, we'd love to hear your memories for a potential holiday themed episode - so do drop us a line. You can let us know your holiday memories through Instagram too - the advantage to social media being you get to see the post about this and hear the theme tune from The Holiday Programme too.


    Anyway, back to June 1993, and one group of people who had a holiday to remember would be those who planned a stay Holbeck Hall Hoel in Scarborough, only to find it had fallen into the sea. In addition to coastal erosion we discuss the storms of the 90s and the first train to travel through the channel tunnel.

    May 1978 (Unsubscribe)
    May 26 2025

    A more sensible title for this episode would have been "Spam", but I'm not going to risk it getting algorithmically marked, blocked and binned - so I've gone for something else. May 1978 saw the first ever unwanted mass-email and the first ever early May Bank Holiday in the UK which was, surprisingly, similarly poorly received - and all this happened to a backdrop of Boney M.


    There's loads of additional viewing/listening for this one, so once you've finished, feel free to get stuck-in to the following...


    * The full story of Charlie Chaplin's grave was covered in our March 1978 episode.


    * For more on Boney M check out our interview with writer and star of the Mary's Boy Child video - the very funny Anna Jordan.


    * And if you want to see people moaning about being given a day off, check out this BBC video of the first May Day Bank Holiday. The Union Jack pinny/PVC Mac combo will shortly be available in the I'm So Not Over It shop.

    May 1981 with MADELEINE BRETTINGHAM! (Live from Machynlleth Comedy Festival)
    May 20 2025

    Esyllt Sears tackles May 1981, and a good deal more, with the fantastic stand-up comedian and comedy writer MADELEINE BRETTINGHAM (Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Late Night Lycett and loads more), live at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival. The month in question brings us Vogue and Cats but we also learn about Madeleine's work on Harry Hill's TV Burp well as how she found out about the death of Diana on the way to Amsterdam and welcomed in the New Millennium on Copacobana Beach.


    Follow Madeleine on Instagram, BlueSky or sign-up for her very funny Substack.
