Runaround!

Welcome to Repeat Our Delete — the podcast that dives headfirst into the weirdest television ever broadcast and asks the important question: should it be repeated forever… or deleted from history? This week, Joe, Planty and James enter the baffling world of Runaround (1975–1981), the children’s quiz show where: Kids sprint between answers in total confusion Wrong answers send you to “the pit” Mike Reid shouts “GO GO GO!” at terrified children Random men appear with giant bicycles and miniature fairgrounds Jonah Lewie turns up for absolutely no reason And somehow… this was peak family entertainment Along the way we discuss: 📺 Lost episodes and ITV chaos 🚲 The world’s largest tricycle 🎡 Tiny mechanised fairgrounds 🎵 “You Will Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties” 🚨 The Semaphore Public Safety Song 📼 Portable TVs, encyclopedias, and deeply confusing prizes 💀 Ask Jeeves finally dying 🎤 Malcolm McLaren telling villagers “Jesus was a sausage” …and a giant inflatable blue thing that absolutely should not have been on children’s television. Featuring: Mike Reid at maximum confusion “Two young ladies in the pit we have” “Something gone wrong again?” “No.” Mark, who likes watching TV The Tittering Chapter Bot of Transubstantiation And the terrifying reality competition “Air Castle” If you enjoyed the episode: 👍 Like 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Tell us the strangest TV show YOU remember 📩 Email us: [email protected] #Runaround #MikeReid #BritishTV #RetroTV #ComedyPodcast #RepeatOrDelete #ITV #70sTV #80sTV #CultTV #TVPodcast

On the Floor with Little Fern Little Fern Salon Step into the world of Little Fern Salon, where two hairstylists, Female co-owners, serve up behind-the-chair secrets every other week. From the chaos of running a business to heart-to-hearts with clients, nothing is off-limits in this unfiltered look at salon life. Expect juicy stories, unexpected twists, and a touch of drama, all served with a side of wit and style. Each episode is a reminder that no day—or conversation—is ever ordinary in our little corner of the world. XOXO, Fern Girlz Explicit Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
