Once, When I Was Cool

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.

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.

Have a listen as Dave and Wee look fondly at one of the greatest inventions of a generation.

The games we play(ed)
