Why Don’t You Like This?

Episode 13. Gavin and Stacy


Listen Later

In this episode, we examine the late 2000s BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacy and consider what it means to be ordinary as well as drawing a line between "populist media" and "smart people media". Topics of discussion include representation of the Welsh in media, living with your partner's parents, Simon Amstell's 2010 sitcom Grandma's House and being caught between two cultures.

We also debut a brand new feature called Seb and Molly Recommend in which we share the music and media we've been enjoying and think you should check out. This week's picks are:

Gleam by Sadurn
Young Enough by Charly Bliss
Pony by Orville Peck
Joker (the 2019 movie)
and Hiding Places by Billy Woods and Kenny Segal

As always, our wonderful opening song Bicycle Weather and closing song Even Pinker were performed by Pickle Darling whose album Bigness is available now on Z Tapes records.
