🎙️ Bring Back The 80s – The Podcast That Smells Like Atari Cartridges and School Dinners!
Join hosts Andy Jackson and James Alderson as they fire up the nostalgia machine and take you on a hilarious trip back to the days of Rubik’s Cubes, mullets, and dodgy synth music.
In this episode, they dive headfirst into the wonderful world of Fisher Price toys – from clunky plastic telephones to that garage set every kid owned (and broke). But things really go off the rails around 0:40–1:28, when they tackle the truly important questions like:
Could Donald Trump have owned Fisher Price??
Was Fisher Price actually better than the internet?
What even happened to doctors?
Why did we have to change clocks manually in the 80s (and did we even know why)?
And why was it perfectly normal that boys had boys stuff and girls had girls stuff?
Plus:
A look at parenting in the 80s vs now (spoiler: seatbelts were optional)
Whatever happened to the 2.4 children family ideal?
And of course, that age-old solution to all TV problems: “Give the telly a whack!”
It’s a joyful, slightly chaotic stroll down memory lane, full of laughs, questionable fashion choices, and enough 80s references to make a DeLorean jealous.
👾 Expect:
Glorious tales of growing up in 80s UK
Toy-box deep dives (and the trauma of stepping on plastic people barefoot)
A lot of "Remember that!?" moments
And the occasional dodgy impression of a children's TV presenter
So grab your Spangles, sit back, and press play — because it’s time to Bring Back The 80s!
