It'll Be Alright In The Nineties

Can a stomach rumble with nostalgia? We're talking food and drink this time on the pod. We welcome back returning guest Adam Greenwood to join us on an imaginary journey through 24 hours of our favourite food and drink of the 90s. We'll each be picking something to eat and drink for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus some snacks of course. What happens when you combine a sugar rush with a nostalgia rush? Join us to find that out, plus, what the key ingredient in Stu's homemade cocktail was, what is getting Alex worked-up about breakfast cereals and what Adam says to win the episode outright.

ALSO this time: 90s sports brands! The return of Top Deck and Reef! Playground roundabouts! And much, much more!

Next time: Alex has been left the keys to the pod and he's doing Dawson's Creek with Keith from the Dawsons Black podcast and Kathryn from the Dawson's Weakly pod!

Tune in to find out why Stu will always associate the tournament with a 90s travel agent, what the last full-kit that Ash wore was, and

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.

We're back in Springfield this time on pod, discussing maybe the two greatest seasons of the greatest comedy series ever made, seasons 3 and 4 of the Simpsons. We're joined by a returning guest who is quickly becoming our official Simpsons correspondent; the world's greatest bassist, Max Goff.

We each pick 3 favourite episodes each, break them down and discuss just why these two seasons really are the golden age for the series.

Tune in to find out which episode is Stu's favourite of all time, which episode Max can quote almost verbatim due to a childhood VHS and which infamous episode contains what Alex thinks should be THE official birthday song of the globe.

Also this episode: Pencil cases! Tip-run VHSs! BBC idents! And much, much more!

It's all turned a bit sour over here at IBAITN as we've turned against the decade we once loved. That's right, we're discussing the things we didn't like about the 90s (believe it or not, such things do exist). Stu and Alex each choose 3 things they'd rather forget about an otherwise perfect decade. Tune in to find out how Stu fell foul of a ruthless PE teacher, what negative musical impact does Alex blame on the end of the Cold War, and which sports team got both Alex and Stu's goats throughout the decade.

Also this time, we welcome back diarist and zine-maker Theresa Stenson* for a reading from her 90s teenage diaries.

Also: Tattoos! Selection Boxes! Quentin Wilson!

We've got another fantastic guest for you on IBAITN this week, as writer Teresa Stenson joins us to take a dive into her teenage diaries! Teresa is currently serializing her journals into the fantastic My Teenage Diaries online newsletter, and we were delighted to welcome her onto the show to read a few entries especially for us, as well as answering our vital questions on the decade. Come with us as we discover which Take That member Teresa was forced to 'get real' about not marrying, as well as some on the ground reporting from Doncaster on some of the defining moments of the decade. And there's a bit on Prince Charles (as was) doing the 'Full Monty' dance which still makes us shudder a bit, if we're honest.

Also this time: Quentin Willson! The big blank from Chippenham Hospital Radio! 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!
