Were you a CBBC/CITV kid or Disney/Nickelodeon kid? It seems that this debate circulates the pubs 20 years later after circulating the playground in the early 2000s/2010s.

We deep dive into the history, controversies and core memories of Kids TV and debate whether the battle over which Kids TV channel was best was harmless fun or an underlying class war.

As always, thank you for being here. We are grateful that you are.

Hey you lot! This week it's just me, myself and I (Meg) as George is feeling under the weather. It's a shorter episode this week - a shallow-dive into the world of fangirls, boybands and growing up in the 2010s boyband era.

As always, thank you all for being here - we're grateful that you are.

This week we're deep diving like a cotton swab into all thinks lockdown, COVID and 2020. Although the trends were fun, strange and sometimes leave us strangely nostalgic, we also feel a battle with time since the pandemic.

Join us weekly for episodes every Friday. We're grateful that you're here.

Love,

Ok, football... now we know this can seem like a very niche, targeted episode. However, we're looking at it from the angle that is true to Clear History - deep diving into the darker side of 'The Beautiful Game'.

Is football really, truly, simply 'just a game?' or is there more behind the fact that everything is more than it seems behind the 'scenes'...

Meg's a surface level football fan, and she was blown away by what George had to tell her - so listen along and see if you feel the same.

...ok, and Meg's obsession too.

Reality TV has dominated the broadcasting scene for decades, and we can't help but wonder why it's so fixating. This week, we explore some old classics and controversies, what it means to be a contestant on Reality TV now and iconic moments from British Reality TV that we'll never forget.

Think of this episode like a conversation round a cosy pub table - we've got a bit of comic relief this week as well as dipping our toes into a deep-dive.

Thank you for being here, always. Love,

Meg and George x

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard was released from prison on 28th December 2023, after serving 8 of her 10 year second-degree murder charge. Gypsy was subject to horrific manipulation and abuse from her mother, who had Munchausen-by-Proxy syndrome, and ultimately played a part in the planning and act of her mother's murder.

We cover the case of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn, whilst looking at how the world - well, the social media world in particular - has taken Gypsy's release from prison and created a wave of trends, debates, memes and commentary.

Is it really fair to thrust Gypsy into the limelight after everything she has been through? Or is Gypsy ready for a career in the spotlight?

Thank you for listening to the first episode of Clear History. We really hope you enjoyed it.
