It'll Be Alright In The Nineties

If You Have To Ask what this episode is about, then you'll never know...don't turn over to the Otherside, because this time on IBAITN, and much to Stu's excitement, we're finally Road Trippin' (OK, that's enough of that) through the history of one of the biggest rock bands of the 90s, Red Hot Chili Peppers.Join us as we look at each classic 90s RHCP album in turn, examining the highs and lows of their decade including more on the John Frusciante redemption arc, the cursed One Hot Minute tour, and the Californication-era gigs with Stu's dream line-up of bands. Plus, your hosts rank their top three Chilis tracks from the era.Also this time: Rich meats and cheeses! A 90s care package from the non-league footballer of the pod! The most 90s stationery!

Listen up! This time we're talking about one of the purest sources of nostalgia there is - sound and TV theme tunes. It turns out there really is a wealth of 90s nostalgia in the world of audio.We've each picked 5 sounds and 3 TV theme-tunes to discuss, so tune in to find out which of Stu's choices was the subject of extensive online detective work, which form of physical media did both Stu and Alex reference, which slice of sports-based audio can Stu quote along to in real time, and which TV theme tunes almost paralyse Alex with nostalgia...Also this time: Hot air balloons!

If there's one thing that everyone at IBAITN Towers can agree on, it's that the halcyon days of collecting physical media really were the best of times, which the streaming media of today simply cannot replace. To that end, we've decided to spend some time reminiscing about our own personal favourite VHS tapes and CD singles from the decade.We've each picked one VHS and single each to discuss, so tune in to find out which video cassette Alex was given by a famous (and unnamed) neighbour to make up his collection of one (1) VHS, which phrases from the original and best football bloopers tape are still used by Stu today when he needs a haircut, and which obscure CD singles the chaps have chosen to highlight as their favourites of the 90s, one of which already has a place in podcast lore...Also this time: 90s web addresses!

It's time for another 90s Time Capsule episode on the pod, and this time we're welcoming back original member of Stiltskin, production company CEO and musician Peter Lawlor.As usual we allow our guest to pick a selection of things they'd like to bring back from the 90s, plus one thing they'd rather leave in the past. Tune in to find out which British comedy Peter is convinced by Stu and Alex to switch for an alternative, which live music-based programming Peter watched alongside someone who had appeared live on that show earlier that very day, and why Michael Carrick has rendered one of Peter's choices redundant.

We feel it in our fingers, we feel it in our toes...yes, it's Valentine's Day at IBAITN Towers (or at least it was - nearly - when this episode was recorded), and who better to help us examine romance in the 90s than our very good friend and official teenage diarist of the pod, Teresa Stenson? The pod lawyers have been all over this one and plenty of names have been redacted to protect the innocent, so tune in as we discuss the iconic couples, cultural moments and romantic gestures of the 90s, while Teresa gives us a world exclusive of some 'affecting' teenage poetry, Stu reveals his bigamist past, and a Take That episode gets planned for recording while Alex is on holiday...Also this time: Catalogue shopping!

We disappointed our listeners last time by not releasing an episode (due to perfectly valid extenuating circumstances involving Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson), so our friends Kathryn and Dan from the Now That's What I Call Bullshit podcast took pity on us and have generously offered us the opportunity to premier the episode of NTWICB we recorded with them recently. We discussed the 1999 edition NOW 43, and boy are there some good tracks on here.Tune in to find out which song impacted a young Stu Joslin more than almost any other, which of the presenters has somehow got through their whole life without having a favourite boy-band song, which Spice Girl Kathryn rates the lowest for singing, and just how few songs Dan actually recognises, let alone likes.Thank you so much to Kathryn and Dan for letting us release this episode and thanks to Kathryn for editing the whole thing!You can listen to the back catalogue of Now That's What I Call Bull$h!t ⁠here⁠.If you'd like to hear more from us, be sure to like and subscribe, and share your thoughts with us on all our social media channels, found here on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKTREE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music: Sports FM by Shane Ivers - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.silvermansound.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pod logo: Adam Greenwood Photography & Design ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.adamgreenwoodphotographer.com⁠⁠⁠

Please get your correspondence and memories in - it doesn't have to be about actually going on holiday; we're interested in the things you did to keep yourself occupied during those long free weeks across the 90s.Thanks for bearing with us and we'll be back soon!

This time on IBAITN, we come close to actually doing a bit of serious journalism as we review the recent BBC documentary 'Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem'. Join us as we reflect on the documentary before discussing our own thoughts on lad culture, how we experienced it at the time, and what we believe are the component parts of the archetypal 'lad'.'Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem' is a fascinating documentary that we highly recommend all 90s enthusiasts watch, although Stu did need to be talked into watching it after being told it contained 'upsetting scenes'.

Christmas is just around the corner and we need to compile our Christmas lists. What better place to look for inspiration than the trusty Argos catalogue? Stu and Alex take a different catalogue each and pick some choice selections to share.

Here at IBAITN HQ, Geoff is still refusing to pay for satellite TV in the office. It's something to do with the lodge's subscription to the fishing channel needing to take preference, apparently. Anyway, this sorry situation has at least prompted us to take a look at the last great terrestrial TV landmark of the 90s, as we investigate the genesis and launch of Channel 5 in March 1997. Tune in to find out which former England rugby union captain Alex is personally linked with, which newsreader appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, and which Channel 5 presenter scolded a crying student live on TV after they had opened their exam results (we think)?

It's all turned a bit sour over here at IBAITN as we've turned against the decade we once loved. That's right, we're discussing the things we didn't like about the 90s (believe it or not, such things do exist). Stu and Alex each choose 3 things they'd rather forget about an otherwise perfect decade.

We've got another fantastic guest for you on IBAITN this week, as writer Teresa Stenson joins us to take a dive into her teenage diaries! Teresa is currently serializing her journals into the fantastic My Teenage Diaries online newsletter, and we were delighted to welcome her onto the show to read a few entries especially for us, as well as answering our vital questions on the decade. Come with us as we discover which Take That member Teresa was forced to 'get real' about not marrying, as well as some on the ground reporting from Doncaster on some of the defining moments of the decade. And there's a bit on Prince Charles (as was) doing the 'Full Monty' dance which still makes us shudder a bit, if we're honest. Also this time: Quentin Willson! The big blank from Chippenham Hospital Radio! Another update from the masonic lodge! And much, much more! My Teenage Diaries can be found at this link, and Teresa's beautiful handmade zines can be found here - we strongly recommend you check these out for more excellent 90s content!
