It'll Be Alright In The Nineties

We're looking backwards to look forwards this time on IBAITN, as we take a look at some classic 90s clips from TV programmes such as Tomorrow's World and Blue Peter as they attempt to predict the future of technology.

Jump on to the information superhighway and watch along with us as we look at shoulder mounted laptops revolutionizing the world of car manufacture, whether or not pandas are hungry or mad, and several different presenters attempting to contact Bill Clinton with varying levels of success.

Also this time: A.I. Stu! Michael Jackson's lawyers get in touch! The Spice Bus! The most 90s sound! And much, much more...

Watch along with us using the links below:

We're discussing another random UK top 40 chart from the decade this time on the pod, and our random date generator has landed on the 11th December 1991. Who better to help us dissect this selection of tracks then our resident pop expert and returning guest, Joe Barter?

Tune in to find out which track Stu considers a stain on British culture, which band Joe thinks is one of the best to ever do it, and which former BT engineer has captured Alex and Stu's hearts.

Also this time: Track and Field athletes! Smashed plates! Toxic paint fumes! And much, much more...

Jump into your tintop and wait for the green, because we're going racing this time on IBAITN! Join us as we look at some of our favourite moments from the British Touring Car Championship in the 90s, including but not limited to: the greatest touring car entry of all time, driving a tank around Hades (trust us), the world's angriest stationary man, Murray Walker's best bits, and what noise does a racing driver make when they have a big shunt?

Also this time: motion sickness strips! A Red Nose Day quiz! The Space Jam website! And much, much more...

We strongly recommend that you watch the clips we discuss during the episode, all of which can be found at the links below:

We're bringing credit where credit has been lacking this time on the pod, as we're talking about the most underrated albums of the 90s. Stu and Alex each choose 3 underrated albums to discuss, as well as reading out all your reader correspondence on this topic. Tune in to find out which cassette was a staple of Alex's Walkman on childhood car journeys, which album inspired a limited edition Volkswagen Golf and which album Stu liked so much he accidentally taped it over his Dad's band's only album.

Also this time: 90s chocolate bars! 8 year old trapped in a Jaguar! Old Blu-Tac! And much, much more!

It's a little known fact that if this podcast ever drops below 50 listeners it will explode. We're back on the films of the decade bus and next stop is 1994, undoubtedly a big year at the movies.

We welcome back returning guest and legend of the pod, Adam Greenwood to discuss the best and most notable films from this big, mid-decade year. We each pick 3 films each, as well as running down the award winners and the box office top 10.

Tune in to find out which VHS Alex was denied in a Blue Peter competition in the most coincidental of circumstances, what theory Adam has about the suitability of grunge vs folk music in the Crow, and which massive animation-based claim Stu is making this week.

Against all odds, IBAITN has been renewed for a third season. Alex and Stu are back with brand new content, but the same old problems...

To kick off the new year, it's Alex's turn to try and convince Stu that he was wasting his time as a CITV kid, and that he should have nailed his flag to the CBBC mast throughout the decade. To try and achieve this, he's picked the schedule from Friday 2nd December 1994, which doesn't disappoint. Join us as we discover which of the listed programmes remains shrouded in mystery, which children's TV legend went on to have their own special edition resin doll, and which legendary voice artist started out on Alex's favourite cartoon, Fantastic Max! Plus, of course, there's plenty of Get Your Own Back chat. Also this time: An unfortunate admin error! A poor 90s quiz performance! The world's least impressive world record! And much, much more...

We're dusting off the trusty bleep-machine and checking with our lawyer this week on the pod, as we welcome back Kathryn and Dan from the NOW That's What I Call Bulls**t podcast to finish what we started a year ago. Last Christmas we covered the first five Christmas number ones of the 90s, and today they're back with us to discuss the next five.

Tune in to find out which songs Dan refuses to believe are actually songs, which song Stu recently recently witnessed Brian McFadden refusing to perform live on a cruise ship, which song Kathryn and Alex are 100% united on, and discover a brand new game that the whole family can enjoy this Christmas! Also this time: Barrymore! Christmas crazes! Running into plate glass windows! And much, much more...

It can't all be fun and games when it comes to nostalgia podcasting, you know. On some occasions, your fearless hosts must take it upon themselves to investigate the darker side of their chosen subject matter. But never fear, because in keeping with the spirit of the podcast, this time on IBAITN we apply a suitably light touch to some of the more notable criminal acts of the 90s.

Tune in to find out which Wiltshire football club were decades ahead of Everton when it comes to financial irregularities, which YouTube video Alex watches on a regular basis alongside Bobby Davro's stocks accident, and which famous motorway pursuit started the lads on their journey to holding a mid-table spot in the East Central Wiltshire podcast charts!

Also this time: Krooklok! The Starburst Generation! One Foot in the Groin! And much, much more...

Sometimes on IBAITN the stars really do align, and that's exactly what has happened here. We're delighted to be joined by none other than Peter Lawlor, the man responsible for one of the most recognisable rock songs of the 90s, and a UK number 1 at that - Inside by Stiltskin.

The story of the song's creation and subsequent success is really quite something, so who better to tell it than the man himself? Peter runs us through that story, along with answering all our regular interview questions about the cultural high-points of the decade.

Tune in to find out how Stiltskin eventually found their vocalist, what it's like to perform on Top of the Pops, and which other famous faces used to knock about in Primrose Hill in the late 90s.

Also this time: Our position in the regional Podcast charts! The most 90s Canadian! Small town mysteries! And lots, lots more...

IBAITN hasn't got to where it is today by jumping on any passing nostalgia bandwagons. We've always ploughed our own furrow, gone our own way and done our own thing. So it definitely isn't as a result of the success of their recent smash hit Netflix documentary series that we turn our attentions this time to the life and times of David and Victoria Beckham in the 90s. And joining us to discuss the celebrity couple of the decade is returning legend of the pod, Kate Pro! Come with us as we ruminate on how the Beckhams shaped our own lives in the fields of football, music and fashion, plus there's an in-depth examination of David's links with Chippenham!

Also this time: The glorious return of Ich Habe Ein Pony! The most 90s games console (with Dan from Odd Pod)! A near death experience on a zebra crossing! Taki Inoue goes horse racing! And lots, lots more...

We're caught between downcast and celebratory moods this time on the pod as we finally come to terms with the sad demise of Children's ITV. As he was always the CITV kid compared to the CBBC partisan Alex, Stu decides to take us all on a run through of an average CITV afternoon schedule in the mid-90s (Wednesday 12th July 1995 to be specific) in an attempt to convince Alex that CITV really was as good as, if not better than, CBBC. So tune in to find out which cartoon seemed so scary that Stu never even watched it, which theme tune crops up in Alex's brain every 48 hours and which programme both Alex and Stu consider an underrated gem.

Also this time: 90s acts of God! Cringe-inducing German lesson performances! Old receipts! Watery slapstick mishaps! The launch of yet another pod campaign! And lots, lots more...

This episode sees a very welcome return for IBAITN royalty, official barber of the pod and modern day raconteur Wil Hodgson as they join us to discuss the many highlights of soap opera in the 90s! Tune in to find out which EastEnders star was not a fan of the comedy of Daniel Kitson, which Emmerdale character Stu still likes to check on despite the fact they were killed in 1993, and which Neighbours actor (REDACTED ON LAYWER'S ADVICE).

Also this time: Cue marks (we've just looked it up)! Geoff at the Masonic Lodge! The most 90s advertising mascot! Limahl on Through the Keyhole! And lots, lots more...

It's the 2nd of our year-by-year look at the computer games of the 90s, and we've decided to go for 1998 this time. This is slap bang in the golden era of console gaming for Stu and Alex, so there's plenty to discuss. As usual, we each choose 3 of our favourite games from the year, as well as some honourable mentions, and listener choices of course.

Tune in to find out which game to this day, still inspires a dodgy impression for Stu and his dad, what game did Alex and his dad thoroughly enjoy for half an hour before giving up and just how expensive is the rarest Sega Saturn of all time?

Also this time: Quiz results! The most 90s playground game! Tamagotchis! Your correspondence! And lots, lots more...

It's time to take another look at a random chart from the 90s on IBAITN, and on this occasion the fates have deposited us at the 20th February 1999. Who better to help us review this fine chart from the end of the decade than one of our regular correspondents and fellow 90s nostalgia nerd, Neil from Channel NEM! Join us as we explore our personal stories around the songs by R&B legends, cartoons, Canadian teen rock bands, and autotuned divas which made up the 40. Plus, Stu raps, Alex has psychic powers, and Neil recounts a story from his 18th birthday, which coincidentally was in February 1999, that we really weren't prepared for.

Yes yes, we know, it's almost autumn, but it's time for our annual summer party. This year it's taking the form of a pub quiz.

It's another decade spanning interview this time on IBAITN, and we've got a very special discussion for you this time as bestselling music and sport author Nige Tassell sits down with us (well, with Stu anyway - Alex was unfortunately suspended for this one) to discuss his version of events from the 1990s. Join us as Nige discusses his rollercoaster ride from being a university entertainments officer, via a spell in Minnesota, through to gaining his breakthrough writing job on Venue magazine. Plus, discover why he's gone straight to the top of our 'coolest first car' chart, and which 90s band sent gifts to his wedding, among many other superb anecdotes from an engrossing personal story!

Also this time: Mary Earps' shirt! Cadbury's big secret! The most traumatic postbag we've ever had! And much, much more...

This time on the pod we're getting emotional and being watched very carefully by the Italian Carabinieri, by talking about Italia '90, the sweatiest World Cup ever. We're delighted to have sports journalist and Alive & Kicking podcast host Ash Rose joining us to discuss our personal connections to the tournament, our favourite kits, the best matches, and the long-term legacy. Tune in to find out how Ash impressed his girlfriend with Italia 90-inspired musical taste, which tournament-themed car does Alex pine for, and why Stu loves Costa Rica so much.

Also this time: Radio personalities! 90s blood! A requiem for the Ford Fiesta! And much, much more...

We're back from our short summer break and we've finally fulfilled Stu's long-held wish and done an episode on goalkeeping in the 90s. We're delighted to welcome as a guest Steve Hale - current goalkeeping coach of Crawley Town and previous coach at numerous Football League clubs, and a handy player in his day, not to mention the owner of Steve Hale Goalkeeping School & GK gloves. In our chat with Steve we discuss our favourite 'keepers from the decade, the stand-out saves, the kits (of course) and how the discipline differs now from back then. Yes, it may sound niche, but trust us, you don't want to drop the ball on this one.

Also this week, as it was recently the 2nd birthday of the pod, Stu and Alex carry out their customary gift exchange, and announce their birthday honours.

Tune in to find out which goalie Alex regrets not speaking to in a Travelodge foyer, which keeper Stu sent a birthday card to as a youngster and which modern goalkeeping technique does Steve lament the loss of.

Also this time: Massive posters! VHS tapes! Stu between the sticks! And much, much more...

Summer is once again upon us at IBAITN HQ, so before the lads, Geoff and Dr De'Ath lock up the office for their two week break in Torremolinos courtesy of Lunn Poly, this time we're taking a look back at some of our favourite 90s holiday memories. Join us as Alex makes the case for the bucolic British camping holiday, Stu yearns for continental carbonated iced tea, and once again we ask the big questions that other podcasts are afraid to address: for what reason are those roped off fruit machine areas in motorway service stations actually there for? Plus all of your excellent correspondence, including ruminations on holiday camp mascots, fart powder and disintegrating caravans.

Also this time: The 1993/94 Norwich City third shirt! Jim McDonald steals some Sega Saturns! Whitefang! And much, much more...

It's 50 not out for IBAITN this time, as we waft our bat towards the pavilion in recognition of a half century of episodes. And what better way to celebrate this auspicious milestone than going back to where it all started, as we reminisce about our formative 90s years in primary school. Join us as we find out about Stu's march through time to his brand new primary school, which Belgian international midfielder Alex visited on a school trip, and which schoolyard injustices still weigh heavily on both of our presenters to this very day. Plus plenty of primary school stories from our wonderful listeners!

Also this time: Heinz Beanz Pizza! Stiltskin! Clipper the Bear! An angry Australian bloke! And much, much more...

It's the start of a new series for the pod as we tackle the computer games of the decade, one year at a time. Being the mavericks we are we've decided to start in the middle of the decade with 1995. We have a look at the sales charts and the award winners before each choosing 3 of our favourite games of the year and delving into what they meant to us and why they deserve remembering. Tune in to find out which game had 'messy' and 'meaty' settings, which game still catches Stu's eye in the arcades and what console did Stu's dad decide to bank on for the 32-bit era.

Also this time: Criminal acts! Preparations for a giveaway! Awkward cinema trips! And much, much more...

We've got another exclusive interview for you this time on It'll Be Alright In The Nineties, as we have the honour of speaking to one of Britain's finest blues guitarists Innes Sibun about his 90s life and times. Along the way we discover how he joined Robert Plant's huge 'Fate of Nations' world tour in 1993, how a video game addiction almost cost him the ability to play guitar, and who really did make the BBC?

We're attempting to sell you our premium podcast this time on IBAITN, and we're doing so by taking a look at some examples of UK television adverts from the decade. There's outdated tech, classy people carriers, problematic mini-epics starring famous faces, plus a few products you probably forgot even existed.

We invite you to watch along with us using this link to the video: https://youtu.be/JCjQLrVzNp0

Tune in and watch along!

Also this time: 90s occupations! Residual school P.E. lessons bitterness! British Bulldog! Correspondence! And  much, much more...

IBAITN goes Stateside this week as our returningest guest Glyn Joslin joins us to reminisce about following American Football in the UK in the 90s. There's tales of various pilgrimages made to Wembley Stadium to witness the American Bowl pre-season matches which took place during the early half of the decade, as well as some gridiron games which took place nearer to home, at a venue very close to Stu and Alex's collective hearts. Along the way we encounter the Norton Radstock Starlette Majorettes, a moody T-shirt seller, and Bob Turner, who used to live round the back of Stu's nan. Plus, in a new and refreshed What's The Most 90s segment, our friends Roddy and Jack from the How Many Geese podcast join us for an excellent discussion to decide the identity of the most 90s animal!

Also this time: RIP Lilt! Is Goofy a cow? Hot bananas! Mick Luckhurst! And much, much more...

We have a new entry this week - coming in at number 63 in the Wessex-based nostalgia podcasts charts, it's It'll Be Alright in the 90s! That's right, we're talking about the pop charts this week. We've decided to pick a random week from the decade and have a long, hard look at the UK top 40 chart of that week. We've ended up in October 1997 and it surely is a mixed bag. As we're talking about pop music we of course called upon our resident pop expert, Joe Barter, who brings his unrivaled pop wisdom to the pod table. We all give our candid opinions on what's hot and not, and then end by picking our favourites from the chart. Tune in to find out which CD single was especially popular with our grandparents, what on-stage habit disgusts Stu's mum and how many artists we've libeled this week.

Also this time: Football transfers (featuring special guest opinions)! Loads and loads of Mr Blobby content! Correspondence! And much, much more...

Many of our listeners have been wondering when IBAITN is finally going to go highbrow. Well friends, the time is now, as a clause has been inserted into our renewal contract which states that we must at least make a passable attempt to do so (thanks for that Geoff). With that in mind, please join us as we take a look back at some our favourite books of the decade!

As usual we have each selected three weighty tomes to discuss, with some wildcards in the back pocket. Come with us as we pay tribute to the books which introduced the lads to reading as children, which rock legend wrote Alex's favourite ever memoir, and which book Stu withdrew from his local library on so many occasions that they eventually let him keep it.

Also this time: Work experience nightmares! The danger of rotary washing lines! Lulu's Birmingham accent! Ian Culverhouse's height! And much, much more...

Unbelievably we've been renewed for a second series! So we're back by little to no demand and we're carrying on right where we left off - knee deep in nostalgia. To start the new season we're taking our next foray into the films of the decade and it's the turn of 1992 to come under the microscope.

As with our two previous film episodes we run down the box office top 10 of the year, then get dolled-up for the awards season results, before each choosing 3 personal favourites to discuss. Plus we choose an extra wildcard to give a mention to. Join us to find out which film Stu watched because he wanted to be cool like Jon Amor, which film satisfies Alex's craving for slow-motion waterfall jumps, and which impression Stu will sadly never be able to perform on the pod. And of course, we read out all your lovely correspondence.

Also this time: Collectible toys! On-air workout video shopping! Foam-fingers! And much, much more...

Tonight we're gonna podcast like it's 1999! It's a special New Year edition of IBAITN, as we take a look back at the much discussed and anticipated moment we left the 90s behind and moved into the brave new era of the 2000s.

After a short and desperate plea for more listeners in 2023, the lads delve into the myriad of notable events surrounding 31st December 1999. Along the way we revisit Alex's dad's attempt to cash in on the Millennium Bug (alongside his attempt to deal with some inner city car crime), and Stu's struggles with a holiday homework project as well as an underwhelming school trip to the Millennium Dome.  Plus we take an in-depth look at the headlines, music and movie charts of the day, and consider the further cultural changes we've experienced since the turn of the Millennium.

Also this time: The toughest work out on earth! The Year 10000! Parking zone a shambles! And much, much more...

Snow is falling, all around us, so put on your parkas and join us for a festive run-through of the Christmas number ones from the first half of the 90s. We're delighted to be joined once again by our podcasting pals, Kathryn and Dan from the Now That's What I Call Bullshit podcast. We each share our thoughts and feelings for the 5 songs in question before attempting to rank them from best to worst. Tune in to find out which song makes Alex hate this country, which song gets Dan choked up just talking about it, what the connection is between Stu's penpal and East 17 and which band Kathryn has a strict 'April onwards' rule for. Also, Dan is up to his old tricks so we've blown the dust off our trusty bleep machine. 

Also: News readers vs aeroplanes! School stationary! Angry Dad-of-the-Pod! And much much more...

Christmas is on the way, so why not let us do the gift-related work for you as we take you through the highlights from a brace of classic Argos catalogues! Join us as we pick our favourite and most notable items from the 1994 and 1995 autumn/winter editions of the 'laminated book of dreams'. Along the way, we re-discover forgotten technology for both the kitchen and the lounge, mourn the loss of the novelty lighter, and get wistful about the rucksacks we used to wear to school. We end by randomly choosing a gift from each other's catalogues to take home, which turns out well for Alex, and not so well for Stu...

Also: Let your fingers do the walking! A Halloween apology! Win a small Peugeot! The world's most horrifying doll! And much much more...

Fingers on buzzers... first question: Which 90s nostalgia podcast has just released a new episode on 90s game shows? Correct, it's us! Join Stu and Alex as they choose some of their personal standouts from the game shows of the decade - from the absurd to the frenetic to the comforting, we cover some real greats. Give it a listen to find out which comedy moment Stu and his dad have been reciting for 20+ years, which gameshow-based after-school club Alex joined in year 7, which show had to resort to giving out mugs as prizes, and experience some on-the-fly gonzo podcasting as Alex encourages Stu to finally watch a bit of wince-inducing footage he had been avoiding for years!

Also: 90s Politicians! A sad update on 'Fan-man'! Ironing boards and Turkeys! And much, much more...

Grab your chamois leathers and your nodding dog toys, and join us this week as your hosts Stubaru Justy and Alex Romeo 164 discuss the cars they would like to place in their dream 90s garage. Along the way we find out which legendary estate car Alex has nominated as his daily driver, which hot hatch Stu wants to relive his younger driving days with, and which supercars they would own simply on the strength of their childhood toy memories. Also of course, there's some chat around the cars the boys would not grant access to the garage, including one of the fastest road cars ever made, alongside one of the slowest. Plus all your brilliant correspondence on the subject, which dramatically sees Daewoo draw level with Ferrari in the nominations!

Also: Violence! Live Sunkist tasting! A new legend of the pod! Ram raiding! And much, much more...

BOO! Sorry to startle you but we have a very exciting episode for you this time because it’s our first ever collaboration podcast! We’ve teamed up with the Most Millennial Podcast from the the other side of the Atlantic to bring you a special 2-parter. And before you ask, yes, this IS the first Wessex-Colorado collaboration in history, podcast or otherwise.

As we’ve teamed up with a podcast across the pond, and it’s the end of October, what better topic to cover than Halloween? We've decided to split the episode into two parts. We're hosting the first part on our feed, which is what you have here, and then the Most Millennial Podcast will be hosting the second part on their feed - links below. In our half of the double-header we discuss our personal recollections of Halloween, including Stu's family Vauxhall falling foul of an unfortunate trick, Alex choking on now-defunct Italian sweets and Reed's genuine fear of trick or treaters in the Coloradan mountains. We also debate how important it is in the UK vs. the USA, before reading out your brilliant correspondence.

Also: Halloween candy! Terrifying animal noises! Adrian Chiles confusion! and much, much more! 

We're welcoming another special guest on the pod this time as we're joined by Simon Crowson of the @CrowbysDiaries Twitter account. We discuss what inspired Simon to start revealing his 80s and 90s diaries on Twitter, before going through his life throughout the 90s. We then cover our usual interview questions; favourite music, films, TV and cars of the decade, plus a moment to consider how the period shaped who he is today, before a quick chat about his peerless covers band, Molly's Chamber.

Also: Celebrity chefs! Drastic car stereo additions! Almost-libel! And much, much more...

We're continuing our year-by-year deep(ish) dive of the films of the decade. We've done 1990 so you'll not be surprised to hear we're moving on to 1991. We start with a breakdown of the year's box office and award winners before Stu and Alex each select 3 personal highlights from the year. Stu does his best to avoid the infamous ire of Addams Family die-hard fans and does a very brief impression of Arnie, while Alex makes a bold claim about Alan Rickman, and is scandalised by one of the Golden Raspberry award winners. And needless to say, we read out all your great correspondence.

Also: 90s holiday destinations! Sunkist discoveries! Renting VHS players! And much, much more...

It's football's big 3-0 on the podcast this week as we celebrate the impending 30th anniversary of the inception of the Premier League with our special guest Rob from the excellent Premiership Years on Twitter! We look at the classified results from both the first and last game weeks of the decade, and consider such greatly missed phenomena as half-finished stadia, extremely low attendances and the usage of boot laces on shirts. We also take a look at some of the gimmicks Sky attempted to employ in order to sell their 'whole new ball game' to supporters up and down the country, and there's plenty of quizzes and trivia along the way too, as we come to the inevitable conclusion that football was just better in the nineties.

Joe and Glyn talk us through their favourite cars, games, films, TV and personal memories of the decade, before Stu, Alex and Glyn attempt to play the 1996 Question of Sport boardgame. Along the way we touch upon the surprising magazine Stu read as a pre-teen, the good and the bad of computer game remakes of 90s movies, Bon Jovi gig punters getting upset and ponder whether grunge killed hair-metal?

We’re delighted to welcome another fantastic guest to the pod as we talk to musician Jon Amor about his life through the 90s, a decade which saw him form the band the Hoax and rise to international recognition as part of one the UK’s finest blues bands of the era. We ask him about the rise and demise of that band, as well as his post-Hoax career, before running through our usual guest slot questions – what was his favourite car, film, TV show, album, computer game of the decade, and what one thing from the 90s would he most want to bring back?

Also this time: weeing in defunct DIY stores, children’s authors, Sooty scandals, your correspondence and much, much more...

Yet again we've proved the naysayers wrong, we've made it to a year! To celebrate the podcast's birthday we're talking about birthdays in the decade - what were the most popular activities to do as kids in the 90s? What party foods did we eat? And what were our personal favourite presents?

Is it worth the aggravation, to find yourself a pod when there's nothing worth listening to? This time on IBAITN we're joined by returning guest, brother of the pod Adam Greenwood for an in-depth look at the culture surrounding cigarettes and alcohol in the 90s. Come with us as we revisit Stu's time in the D.A.R.E programme, run down some of our favourite alcoholic advertisements, grieve the untimely loss of the chocolate cigarette and relive Alex's brief moment in the sun as the UK's top player of Fantasy Formula One.

IBAITN is getting serious (relatively speaking) in this episode, as we take a stroll down the corridors of power for a look at British politics in the 90s.

We discuss a few key talking points of the decade in politics, from personal recollections from Stu's school days ('fence-building diplomacy' anyone?) to more general thoughts on how popular culture and the media dealt with the goings-on at Westminster and out in the constituencies.

Also this time: standup comics, Badgerline bus sightings, school turf wars, chilli in Stu's eye, and much, much more...
