I'm So Not Over It
ELIS JAMES - LIVE!
•
Stand-up comedian and Podcast Polymath Elis James joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears in the London Welsh Centre for the first episode in a brand new series of interviews covering cultural phenomena from the 1970s to the present day.
And who better to kick things off than Elis? A stone-cold enthusiast of The Past, we cover his early appearences on Welsh TV, why Carmarthen became the centre of the artistic universe thanks to Jurassic Park and how Welsh football fans kept-up with the latest team news when no-one else really cared.
Despite being the first show released under the new name, it was actually recorded under the old one (listen carefully and you can tell!) - but why not check-out some episodes from our back catalogue relating to topics and people mentioned in the show...
Interviews with Nish Kumar, Steffan Garrero and Isy Suttie are all in the archive plus, if like Elis, you missed out on the Manics at the Millennium Studium, check out the emails section of this episode (July 1979) to discover why you didn't miss all that much!
Tickets for "The Xennial Dome" live at Aberyswyth Comedy Festival on Sunday 6th October are available here. (Yes, it's under the old name, but it's fine, we'll have fun).

Esyllt In Paris (and The March 1980 Syndrome)
26:55|After you've taken-in this French-themed episode, in all its Parisian glory, you're almost certainly going to want to spin-back and check-out our edition all about July 1983 (CAT Scans) - in which we discuss Esyllt's previous visit to Paris. It's safe to say that in today's episode, Esyllt does not succumb to the dreaded Paris Syndrome - her expectations being so low, the only way was up.And if you're keen to dig through the archive for further French content, the Channel Tunnel is dealt with as part of July 1987 (with Dan Thomas).We do have time to tackle a month in history too - with Gareth Gwynn presenting his favourite moments from March 1980. If you want to hear a "young" Tony Blackburn "on" "Radio Caroline", the 1977 K-Tel record is here.(Also, sorry this episode is out a little late but, on the plus side, it's going to give us a chance to see what happens to the numbers when we release one on a Saturday!)Go on, tell us about your awful teenage work experience stories on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
March 1995 (Ooh, Aargh! Cantona!)
22:41|Looking at our episode title now, I refuse to believe we are the first people to use that pun. After all, Eric Cantona kicked that Crystal Palace fan during the glory days of the tabloid press - back when you could write a pun like that, go home and enjoy your six figure salary (I expect). Anyway, while the infamous Cantona fly-kick happened in January, the court case took place in March, as did the Academy Awards - so we mention that too.Tell us your goody-bag related stories on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
March 2017 (£1)
21:43|We've checked and, yes, this is our most modern episode to-date, so you're forgiven for thinking the new £1 coin only appeared recently, or for not realizing that you've already seen your final Crimewatch. Esyllt Sears has the lowdown on both of these things, as well as making her pitch to join the police force.Get in touch on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
February 2004 (Yes, February 2004. Again)
26:09|What happened immediately after the Super Bowl half-time show?How much money do you get for whipping your clothes off at a major sporting event?And how DO you pronounce "Houston"? It turns out there were a lot of unanswered questions after last week's show. A whole episode's worth, in fact. As such, Esyllt Sears is tackling February 2004 all over again. Yes, it's another wardrobe malfunction at Super Bowl XXXVIII - but not the one you're thinking of. Get set for another 20+ minutes about February 2004 (and, once again, Gareth Gwynn has cut out all the bits about WMDs).

February 2004 (Schrodinger's Bra and Super Bowl XXXVIII)
27:18|How many times is too many times to see Mama Mia? Can you touch a lamb? And what on earth actually happened in the half-time show of Super Bowl XXXVIII? These are some of the questions posed in this week's podcast as Esyllt Sears reminisces about her earliest days in PR and Gareth Gwynn tries to find a mathematical formula to assess who came off worse following the infamous Wardrobe Malfunction.Farmers can get in touch on imsonotoverit@gmail.com with a well informed opinion about lamb rearing, or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
February 1982 (3DTV, the Hyundai Pony and the corporal punishment ban)
27:22|Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears cover a lot of ground in today's episode - the earliest days of Hyundai, the final days of corporal punishment in schools and the handful of days in which commercial TV thought 3DTV might be a thing. There's some really fun links to check-out on the 3DTV topic... I recommend them all.The Real World 3D TV (Episode 1 - February 1982)The Real World 3D TV (Episode 2 - December 1982) or, if you want to go straight to the moment with the bull, Click Here.Fort Ti trailer (December 1982)Otter Chat etc. always welcome by email on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
February 1995 (Nick Leeson and KV5)
25:58|It's a stressful one this week as we recall the misadventures of Rogue Trader, Nick Leeson. We'll do a leftovers episode at one point, with the reminiscences of our own mistakes at work - but rest assured none of them total 1.4 Billion. We also discuss the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, the findings at KV5 and where to have a poo in a desert. Looking at my notes, it would appear at this point in last week's bumph I wrote "What's the most expensive prank you've been involved with?" and while Nick's tale isn't a prank, the question still seems oddly relevant.

We also discuss the career of Jeremy Beadle and 1980s TV budgets and there's a reminder to catch us in John-Luke Roberts' Sound Heap podcast, one of the episodes of which, is here.What's the most expensive prank you've been involved with?

January 1978 (Otters and Space)
24:08|Esyllt and Gareth's end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds (but there's only a week to go, so be quick!)Esyllt Sears looks back at 1978 and the ban on otter hunting - which is probably the reason, 47 years later, you're trying to listen to this over the deafening sound of countless otters. We also discuss Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, and Gareth uses the phrase "but Russia..." about six million times in under ten minutes.Have you ever seen an otter or used 100 tampons in six days?
