We're continuing our series of episodes on the computer games of the 90s, year-by-year, and we've landed on 1993 this time. It's early in the gaming life of young Stu, but Alex was deep in the midst of Amiga gaming and it shows in his choices. Stu and Alex each choose the three games of 1993 that meant the most to them, and why.
Tune in to find out what game was adored by Alex but challenged by the tabloids, which game has left Stu with only one memory - reading the instructions in the back of a mk2 Cavalier, and whether Alex or Stu ever actually completed any of these games.

We disappointed our listeners last time by not releasing an episode (due to perfectly valid extenuating circumstances involving Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson), so our friends Kathryn and Dan from the Now That's What I Call Bullshit podcast took pity on us and have generously offered us the opportunity to premier the episode of NTWICB we recorded with them recently. We discussed the 1999 edition NOW 43, and boy are there some good tracks on here.
Tune in to find out which song impacted a young Stu Joslin more than almost any other, which of the presenters has somehow got through their whole life without having a favourite boy-band song, which Spice Girl Kathryn rates the lowest for singing, and just how few songs Dan actually recognises, let alone likes.
Thank you so much to Kathryn and Dan for letting us release this episode and thanks to Kathryn for editing the whole thing!

As per the terms of his contract, Stu drops in to apologise for another enforced pod lay-off. But please don't worry, because we will return in August with an episode on school summer holidays! Please get your correspondence and memories in - it doesn't have to be about actually going on holiday; we're interested in the things you did to keep yourself occupied during those long free weeks across the 90s.
Thanks for bearing with us and we'll be back soon!
This time on IBAITN we're discussing the UK sitcoms which never quite lodged themselves in the public consciousness, the League 1 sitcoms if you will.

This time on IBAITN, we come close to actually doing a bit of serious journalism as we review the recent BBC documentary 'Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem'. Join us as we reflect on the documentary before discussing our own thoughts on lad culture, how we experienced it at the time, and what we believe are the component parts of the archetypal 'lad'.
'Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem' is a fascinating documentary that we highly recommend all 90s enthusiasts watch, although Stu did need to be talked into watching it after being told it contained 'upsetting scenes'. At the time of episode release, you can watch it on BBC iPlayer here:https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002389y/loaded-lads-mags-and-mayhem
