Christmas is just around the corner and we need to compile our Christmas lists. What better place to look for inspiration than the trusty Argos catalogue? Stu and Alex take a different catalogue each and pick some choice selections to share. Rather than relying solely on the audio descriptions, we really recommend you read the catalogues along with the episode so you can find Alex's 1991 catalogue HERE and Stu's 1999 one HERE.

Tune in to find out what item Alex considers to be the physical representation of 12 year old Stu, which item Alex still owns to this day, and what sporting item gets Stu searching on eBay live on air.

We also welcome Jesper and Jaan from the All Design Podcast to debate what the most 90s logo is. You can find their fantastic podcast at this address: designpodcast.org

Also this time: Teresa Stenson! Listener complaints! Another update from the masonic lodge! And much, much more!

⁠My Teenage Diaries⁠ can be found at this link, and Teresa's beautiful handmade zines can be found ⁠here⁠ - we strongly recommend you check these out for more excellent 90s content!

You can find the Wendy Toms BBC Archive clip HERE.

Here at IBAITN HQ, Geoff is still refusing to pay for satellite TV in the office. It's something to do with the lodge's subscription to the fishing channel needing to take preference, apparently. Anyway, this sorry situation has at least prompted us to take a look at the last great terrestrial TV landmark of the 90s, as we investigate the genesis and launch of Channel 5 in March 1997.

Tune in to find out which former England rugby union captain Alex is personally linked with, which newsreader appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, and which Channel 5 presenter scolded a crying student live on TV after they had opened their exam results (we think)?

Also this time: Alex's new mortgage! Loads of corrections! The return of the Cadbury's Fuse! And much, much more...

You can watch the full Channel 5 launch programme, along with some more content from its debut night, here

Yes, the rumours are true - the contracts have been renewed once again and we're back, back, back! And what a way to begin the fourth season of IBAITN as we turn our attentions once again to the silver screen, and pick apart our favourite movies from 1995. Join us as Alex makes the case for the defence of one of the most well known flops of the decade, Stu goes all-action with a trio of franchise belters, and the pair watch and comment on a movie they'd never before seen...(clue - the liberal use of 'Gangsta's Paradise' is the most well known aspect)

It's been a very long time since we discussed Formula One in depth on the podcast; after we recorded our first episode on the subject way back when, we knew there was plenty more meat on this particular bone. So we've got back on the grid to further discuss the greatest decade of top-level racing there ever was, and we were absolutely delighted to be joined by the excellent F1 YouTuber Peter Brook for the ride!

Join us for a rattle through some of our favourite talking points of the 90s, as amongst many other topics we discuss the curious case of Bertrand Gachot, issue a grovelling apology to Jean-Denis Deletraz, and find out just what SASOL and UNIMAT do when they're at home? Plus there's lots of Michael Schumacher chat, and rightly so.

Also this time: Smacks! The return of the Hi-Tec Silver Shadow! Who's the most 90s Australian (as if you couldn't guess)? And much, much more...

Peter's fantastic F1 YouTube channel can be found here, and he is on X here. We strongly suggest you check out his work - as you can tell from this chat, he's the best in the West!

This one's for all the listeners who used to raid Pink Planet Games Exchange, or their local equivalent, on a Saturday morning to see what could be had for a fiver, even if it had no instructions and the case was cracked. Yes, we're looking back at some of our favourite video games of 1996.

Tune in as, amongst many other gaming highlights of the year, we discuss one of the unquestionable gaming icons of the decade at length, discover which football game began Stu's life long love of custom teams, and uncover some interesting minutiae from Alex's gaming history involving Demo One and Trade-It.
