Novelist, standup comedian and Taskmaster alumnus Mark Watson visits the dome to discuss all things Xennial with Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears. How did coming of age at a time when the world moved from analogue to digital influence his life? We hear about his romantic reaction to Princess Diana's death; how the stage performances of indie superstars Super Furry Animals influenced his comedy, and how the Michael Aspel hosted ITV Telethons of the late eighties and early nineties may have subconsciously steered his groundbreaking Edinburgh shows. Unsurprisingly Mark has his own hotmail email address.

EP. 6 - MARK WATSON

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.
