Standup comedian and writer Athena Kugblenu spills the beans on her upbringing as a Xennial (a member of the micro generation trapped between Gen X and Millennials) to Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears. Though best known for performing on shows like 'Mock the Week,' writing for 'Horrible Histories' and presenting Radio 4 / BBC Sounds 'Athena's Cancel Culture' it's her work as a project manager on one of the most exciting events in human history that most intrigues Gareth and Esyllt. We also get to hear how world events impacted Athena's early work delivering newspapers, her disappointment at the unambitious predictions in 'Back to the Future 2' and the one gadget she'd like to see included in the Xennial Dome.

EP. 5 - ATHENA KUGBLENU

I'm So Not Over It is a comedy history podcast about things you'll remember from the first time round.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;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).&nbsp;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 &amp; Simon, Isy Suttie and many more and those episodes can be found on the same podcast feed. I'm So Not Over It is a Mighty Bunny Production.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
