It'll Be Alright In The Nineties

This time on IBAITN Alex and Stu plug in their Union Jack guitars, down a pint of Carling Black Label and belt out an episode on the most 90s of British music scenes - Britpop!

We discuss our 3 favourite tracks of the genre, plus a few wildcards and special mentions. This episode also includes discussion of the 'Joslin Theory' and the revelation that Alex may or may not have killed music by home-taping.

This time on IBAITN Alex and Stu welcome their first ever guest. And WHAT a guest - Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian, artist, podcaster, raconteur and barber Wil Hodgson!

We ask Wil to chose the culture, the moments and the memories which define the 90s for him, as well as enjoying one or two tangential anecdotes. Please note - the conversation flowed so freely that there will be a bonus episode with Wil coming next week!

This time on IBAITN Alex and Stu blow the dust out of the cartridge, fire up the floppy drive and get out the sacred notebook of level passwords, as they discuss their favourite computer and video games of the first half of the decade.

Come with us as we find out why Stu was wrong about the Simpsons, what the correct plural noun for a group of dolphins is (clue: it's not a fleet) and which game traumatized Alex so much as a child that he made his parents place it on the highest shelf in the house!

This time on IBAITN Alex and Stu pull on their driving gloves and fish their tax discs out of the glove box, as they discuss the cars of the 90s.

Amongst other topics we each discuss the cars our parents owned during the decade, as well as the iconic supercars that made it onto our bedroom walls, and where it's all gone wrong for modern car design (WARNING: may offend Nissan Juke owners).

This time on IBAITN (what a catchy acronym), Alex and Stu focus on one of the most exhilarating half hours of television of the entire decade - Police Camera Action's famous special 'The Liver Run'.

As well as a full length commentary of the episode itself, we'll explore the background of the series as a whole, and the somewhat unfortunate circumstances behind Alastair Stewart's enforced hiatus from presenting the show. For the full experience we strongly recommend watching along with us; the video we used is available on the link below.
