Gareth and Esyllt's Scrapbook is available NOW on BBC Sounds! Each episode tackles two years in recent history with archive, music and guests. There are three episodes available now featuring Sunil Patel, Claudine Boulstridge of Healthy Family Food Ideas, Miles Jupp and my (Gareth's) mum. Oh and there's clips appearing on Instagram and TikTok too in which my (Gareth's) face is almost permanently obscured. Check it out!
The World Cup, OJ Simpson, Diana's Revenge Dress and all that surrounds it - it turns out June 1994 was a Big Month, but there's plenty of details we'd never come across before. Yes, Diana Ross missed the penalty which was meant to kick-off the 1994 World Cup, but that was probably the least shambolic moment in their wildly chaotic opening ceremony. Similarly, outside the Serpentine Gallery, Lady Diana is pulling focus away from Prince Charles' 2 hour TV documentary, by turning up to dinner in her famous Revenge Dress, but have you ever stopped to wonder who the bloke she shakes hands with is? All will be revealed.
The opening ceremony of the 1994 FIFA World Cup is available here.

Probably as good a time as any to remind you that Esyllt has another podcast, Speaking As A Mother, with Robin Morgan. Gareth (me) doesn't have another podcast, but would like you to come and see his show Cyril in Edinburgh if you're about and he's (me, still) also doing Work In Progresses on 8 July in London, 14 July in Cardiff and one in Bath but details for that aren't available yet. But soon!
