Sunny days, keeping the clouds away. This episode we show you how to get, how to get to Sesame Street as we cover one of the greatest children's TV shows. From the iconic characters, introduction to muppets and concepts, songs and jingles that have lasted through our lives, to its relevance to today's children, we unpack what Sesame Street means to us almost a half a century on.

From the dawn of our lives (Dave and Wee, that is) televisions have played a role. Informative escapism to fuel our curious nature, televisions have evolved from tiny little black and white picture boxes to massive screens with images close to life. Is it the greatest invention of all time? Download and adjust the rabbit ears antennas to listen in.

Pen Pals

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!

Twin Peaks

Thursday Oct 24, 2019
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.

Movie Trilogies

A long time ago, When Wee was tall and Dave had hair, you knew a movie must be a quality franchise if it became a three-shot series. Only the best movies made it to a trilogy. Before streaming services made their own movie chains that continue regardless of ratings and reviews actors who had a trilogy under their belt seemed to be the actors to be taken seriously. Can you think of a few? Get the popcorn ready and buy some overpriced ice creams as we take another journey down the yellow brick road (oops, wrong movie)...

Cash is Dead

Remember when being flush meant cash in your wallet rather than tapping your card (or phone) for the internet to take over? This episode we take a look at a time when cash was king, and cheques were around as well. Who still has a cheque book? What businesses still accept cheques? Join us as we examine the decline in the availability and general acceptance of cash.
