I'm So Not Over It

We're excited to say we are joined by a BBC New Comedy Award winner, the fantastic Anna Thomas - Live from Aberystwyth Comedy Festival! Feels like another case of us having to explain to new listeners this is not a Royal Family themed podcast, despite at least one anecdote being particularly Royal-heavy (and you won't see it coming). We'll also cover Anna's experience of the 1999 e...

Tickets are now on sale for I'm So Not Over It Live at the Aberystwyth Comedy Festival on October 4th - with special guest Anna Thomas! Come along! Say hello! Bit of a delay in getting this one out, but we were determined to do so on a Fuesday. In this episode, we learn that the day of the Cadbury Fuse bar's launch was a Tuesday, dubbed Fuesday - but actually, thinking about it, maybe only the Tue...

Gareth Gwynn is at the Edinburgh Fringe until the 31st August and tickets are still available! Come along! On today's episode, Esyllt talks us through the first ever "anklet tag" - a subject Gareth knows a concerning amount about thanks to three series of the BBC Radio 4 sitcom Ankle Tag - which he co-wrote with Benjamin Partridge. As such, much of this episode is taken up by him trying to remembe...

We're going to Wembley! But not for any sporting reason. In July 2007 there were two enormous concerts just days apart, so if you avoided a trip to Wembley, well done you. Did you go to The Concert for Diana? Or what about Al Gore's Live Earth? And what were they for? Gareth and Esyllt try, and fail, to find out. Get in touch on imsonotoverit@gmail.com - whether you did or didn't go... BlueSky: @i...

(I usually set these to publish at 5am-ish but I'm going for midnight tonight to catch that "can't sleep in this heat" crowd). Have you been to a sports day this year? And if not, was that because it was too hot or too cold? Can go either way. On today's episode we talk about the era in which sports days did happen - for better or worse. Esyllt recalls her disastrous sports day of July 1990 - and...

Remember what the world smelt-like pre-2006? We do. And in an ideal world, you'd enjoy this episode about the smoking ban in a room thick with smoke, after which, you'd have the intense and urgent need to wash your clothes and hair as fast as possible. What nonchalant activity do you think could replace smoking? Let us know on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or contact us on one of the following... B...

It's St David's Day! (Or it is on March 1st, so it slightly depends when you listen to this episode). Either way, we've decided to do an episode that is unambiguously and unashamedly Welsh. I mean, they ALL are really, but this time we're going to lean into it - and who better to talk about all things Dewi Sant than the superb Welsh comedy writer SIAN HARRIES! Sian is the co-writer of the hit BBC...

Hello, can I interest you in some links? Gareth Gwynn at Leicester Comedy Festival on Wednesday! Esyllt and 8 Out Of 10 Celts at Leicester Comedy Festival this week! Esyllt's new podcast - Speaking As A Mother , forever! We're in a cafe again! But don't worry - this time, it's planned. We were on our way to record an episode with the brilliant comedy writer Sian Harries for St David's Day, but bef...

First up, some links... Gareth Gwynn at Leicester Comedy Festival Esyllt and 8 Out Of 10 Celts at Leicester Comedy Festival Esyllt's new podcast - Speaking As A Mother (I'll give you the Insta link and you can work it out from there). And then the show itself. Well, this one doesn't go to plan. We're live from a cafe in the Tate Britain so this is as much as we could record before we got thrown ou...

Not so much of a "month in history" episode this week, but a whole year as Esyllt Sears tries to sum it all up courtesy of a Guardian quiz. There's a lot more to it than that, but the explanation gets very complicated very quickly so we'll leave it to the podcast. If you like a show which sums up a whole year in one bound, I Can't Get Over 2025 is available on BBC Sounds now and there's even a vid...

Happy New Year! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! It's leftovers time! Don't worry, we've given these a sniff and they're fine . As 2025 drew to a close, the I'm So Not Over It team were busy putting together a look back at 2025 for BBC Radio Wales. I Can't Get Over 2025 is available on BBC Sounds now and there's even a video clip online , if you want to see the Oakwood Park footage for yourself. The show cove...

I Can't Get Over 2025, our review of the year for BBC Radio Wales, is available on BBC Sounds now! There's an end-of-term feel to this episode as we work our way through Marlon Brando's Superman contract and the (eventual) Christmas Day schedule of 1978. You can get in touch with the show on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or contact us on one of the following... BlueSky: @imsonotoverit Instagram: @imsono...

I Can't Get Over 2025, our review of the year for BBC Radio Wales, is available on BBC Sounds now! We are back (after a slightly longer-than-expected absence) with a look back at the winter of 1981. A particularly harsh December inspires stories of driving in the snow - and if you're wondering what sort of vehicles you might have seen on the roads, The Queen was on hand to try and sell you a parti...

We always intended to come back to October 2002 to mop-up a few loose ends, but perhaps not quite a soon as this. It's a mini leftovers episode today as one of us was incapcable of speaking properly - so here's something we'd put to one side for a future "leftovers" episode - a dash through the key points surrounding black holes. Get in touch on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or contact us on one of the...

We go back to 2002 in this episode and discuss chess, something Esyllt Sears has a new found enthusiasm for. Turns out this year was a fairly big one for the whole chess scene. Meanwhile, if you want to find out what Gareth Gwynn was up to around the same time, he's given a run-down here . Get in touch on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or contact us on one of the following...

Bit of background atmos on this one as we come to you from the bar of the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff. Last time we were here we talked board games and Loaded and this one proved to be no different - but there's an extra dollop of October 1998 thrown in the mix. We'll be asking what was Sarah Ferguson's TV show all about? What did she write after Budgie The Helicopter? And why did a fight break...
