Once, When I Was Cool

Animal TV Shows

There have been many television shows in which the animal was the star. Week in and week out for many seasons, these creatures taught us about friendship, understanding and how to solve mysteries. In this machine gun-fire of an episode, Wee and Dave remind each other of quite a few of these types of TV shows. Strap yourself in, it is a bumpy ride down memory lane.

Toilets

In the great toilet paper shortages of 2020, Wee and Dave take the opportunity to discuss everything toilet paper related from their past. We would love to say that this episode is something more than toilet humour and poo-jokes, but that would be a lie... We are middle-aged men after all and the COVID-19 crisis has sent us loopy...

The Circus

Many people have fond memories of visiting the circus as a part of their childhood. These travelling tents of entertainment were quite often a staple of smaller regional towns in days gone by. In this episode Wee recalls his love of all things Circus, including his desire to run away and live in one, while Dave listens patiently.

The Terrors of the Year 2000

On this episode Dave and Wee relive the fears and issues in the great panic leading into the turn of the year 2000. Rather than party like it was 1999 (which it was) millions of dollars was spent on combatting the (theoretical) Y2K bug, which was thought might reset history. Of course, it didn't. Join us this episode as we relive our perparedness for this hysterical event...

Six-Pack Recap VII

Yet another six episodes of pure adequate are out there for your ears. This bonus episode covers the topics and has some feedback from our valued listeners. We also correct a very grave omission from one of the previous episodes. Unfortunately, Dave's microphone coupled with a low ability for situational awareness mean that the sound on this one is great. Sorry for that...

Cassettes

Who remembers these beauties. The cassette revolutionised the way in which we were able to listen to albums at home or when out and about. Not able to listen to your favourite Sha Na Na or Bay City Rollers album on vinyl? Put it on a cassette. But now it has gone to history in a way like it never existed. Have a listen as Dave and Wee look fondly at one of the greatest inventions of a generation.
