Comedy writer Gareth Gwynn spent August 2004 mopping up melted ice cream, Esyllt Sears spent it travelling between London and Cardiff and a group of Olympic marathon runnners spent it navigating the route of the 1896 marathon - although a (since defrocked) Irish priest had other plans. The interrupted marathon is one of the topics covered in this look back at the news 20 years ago this month - and there's a brief visit to 1963 as we remember the journalist Bernard Levin and a moment he'd probably rather forget. Video of the olympic marathon incident is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iClz6fB4lo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> and the video of Bernard Levin being punched is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=4887277191321763" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Little Dome: August 2004 (Olympic Marathon, EastEnders thefts and Bernard Levin)

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.
