This week on Top Year, Wilson has the unenviable task of delivering a presentation about 1851. You might think, hey Jonty, surely 1851 can't be that bad. And you're right, it was actually surprisingly ok. Or was it? Is it in fact more likely that 1851 is the most unmemorable and unremarkable year we've covered so far on the podcast? Have we even found the bottom floor of the Year Tier dungeon yet?...

Another week, another Top Year banger. Where will 1921 land on the Year Tier? Listen to find out! Contact us: topyearpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello, and welcome back to my weekly Wednesday night blog as I write the episode descriptions for Top Year before they upload. This might be a hot take, but I reckon this week's episode is one of the best episodes so far. Just how much influence does the "personal enjoyment" and "funny factor" have on a year's placement on the Year Tier? Can a fairly average year like 1977 make its way up the Year...

This week on Top Year the boys are joined by legend, special guest and friend of the show James Maleganeas to sort through the year that was 1985 and place it on the infamous, world-renowned Year Tier. Contact us: topyearpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Max. Kyle. Wilson. 2003. A match made in heaven. But will it be enough to get 2003 up onto the pointy end of the Year Tier? Listen to this week's episode of Top Year to find out. Contact us: topyearpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello again. It's your old friend, Top Year. Hope you're well. How's your week? Awesome. Ours was great too, thanks for asking. What did we get up to? Funny you ask, we actually got together and talked about all of the interesting, notable and funny things that happened in 1952. We also happened to record it. Lucky you! Here it is. Enjoy. See you next week. Love you. Send us an email: topyearpod@g...

At the turn of the century, Wilson takes Max and Kyle on a meander through the nuances and quirks of history in a way only possibly achieved by the Top Year Podcast.

On this week of the Pod, Max gives the boys a deep dive into the craziness of 1943. Where will it sit on the year tier? Is Wilson back? Did the podcast end with his lack of presence last week?

On this week's episode of Top Year, Kyle takes the boys on an odyssey through the year that was 1989. As always, he is joined by Max, but this week's recording was haunted by the mysterious absence of Wilson. What happened to him? Why has nobody heard from him in weeks? Will we ever see him again? Could it have anything to do with this week's epic solar eclipse? I guess we'll have to wait until ne...

Ayo, we're BACK, and you know what they say: new year, same bangin' history podcast, brutha. To herald Top Year's triumphant return to your podcast feed, the boys tackle the very first year within the scope of their 150(ish) year net of research - 1850. Will it be a dark horse of a year and creep its way up the Year Tier? Or will it take its rightful place at the absolute stone cold bottom of the...

The Top Year crew is back after a brief Christmas break to give you a comprehensive and exhaustive review of the year that was 2023. There was a 1kg bag of corn present for the recording of this podcast. Now that I think about it, I actually don't know why it was there if I'm completely honest. I don't think any of us knew. All I do know for sure is that it cast an unshakable aura over the room; a...

Welcome to our first annual Christmas special! We learn a bit about the history of Christmas, answer some Christmas-themed questions from our listeners, play some Christmas-themed trivia games, and even take a phone call from a very special bearded man in a red suit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You know the drill. Three cheeky boys. One year from the last 150 (ish) years of history. Arbitrary scores that don't have any real meaning. Geef. Year Tier. Podcast format. Your feed. Your ears. Right now. It's Britney, bitch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The brosephs are joined by Somerset Drayton as they take a look at 1996 and do their best to place it onto the Year Tier. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You know the drill. Three brosephs who know next to nothing about history pull out a random year between 1850 and now and talk about hyper-specific detail for an hour before arbitrarily placing it on a list that makes less and less sense ever week. God bless Top Year. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Kyle chats to the boys about 1976, and we are joined by an incredibly special guest! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After our epic two-part Halloween special, we're back into the grind of diligently going through every single year since 1850 and ranking them in a well-informed and unbiased fashion. Wilson is back in the hot seat, and this week it's his job to take all of us on a journey back in time to the year that was 1932. Can Wilson say the name of a notoriously ruthless genocidal dictator and all-round ras...

Have you listened to part one yet? It's a banger, so you definitely should. Plus, if you haven't heard that episode, quite a lot of this episode won't make much sense to you. You know - context, set-up, callbacks, running gags. All the things that make this podcast one of the greatest and most important pieces of non-fiction in the postmodern era. So just go back and listen to that one first, mkay...
