Just because one episode is never enough, we are looking at even more words and phrases that have either disappeared or changed relevance in modern times. So saddle up there, dear listener. This one is going to be rad!

Is 60 really the new 50? Is 50 the new 35? This episode we explore how our attitudes to age has changed. Is it a society thing, or are we just more accepting of aging as we rocket through the years of our lives? It's time to get out the old ear trumpet again and listen to the old boys carrying on about their age, yet again!

No, not a friend that was a pen. This episode we have a look at the pre-internet communication sensation of pen pals - friends from a different location who you had to write (or pen) a letter to. Slower than email but quite a rewarding (allegedly) way for youngsters to communicate with people they did not know and had not met.

Computers have changed our lives and nobody is denying the influences they have had. Along with computers came the need for games. From "Pong" to Nintendo and all the games in between, we discuss a few (not all of them - that would be crazy). Download and listen in because it is on like Donkey Kong!

From the time when you had to wait each week for your TV show to be on, we look at the cult classic 'Twin Peaks'. It was many things including quirky, funny, scary and downright bizarre. And when you thought it was just a remnant, it came back 25 years later. Did it stand the test of time? You be the judge.

So tired of waking up tired? Well now you have more choices of a basic drink than ever before, and it is available everywhere. This episode we are talking coffee. What it is. What we like. How it has changed. We discuss how we think coffee has changed and how it is a necessity of everyday life and functioning. We don't talk chai, though. We forgot about that. And we have a very special guest with us.
Thanks for listening in.
