In each episode we'll tackle two years with archive, music and guests - with the first episode featuring Josie Long and Sunil Patel as we pull apart 1999 and 1984. We're currently planning episodes later in the run so would love to know your memories of 1982, 1992, 1994 and 2005. Do drop us a line by email or on any of the socials before May 16th, and you might get a shout-out on the show later in the series.</p><p><br></p><p>Talking of email and socials, you can find us at imsonotoverit@gmail.com or one of the following...</p><p>BlueSky: <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/imsonotoverit.bsky.social\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@imsonotoverit</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/imsonotoverit/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@imsonotoverit</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@imsonotoverit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@imsonotoverit</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Other Projects</u></strong></p><p>Probably as good a time as any to remind you that Esyllt has another podcast, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/speakingasamotherpod/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Speaking As A Mother</a>, with Robin Morgan.
