NostalgiaTron - The Podcast About Growing Up In the 80's & 90's NostalgiaTron

We solemnly swear that we were up to no good – well that’s kind of true. This week we talk about getting into trouble in our younger years. Were we saints or sinners? Find out more about the crimes and punishments from Mike and Owen’s younger years, and discover who of the pair was the rebel and who was the saintly angelic curly haired cherub.

In this episode we take our family members and immortalise them in digital form. Find out more about Mikes barking mad (literally) uncle, Owen's weird uncle Rod - and many other positive and not so positive members of our respective families. Its a little emotional, but we are sending this precious cargo into cyberspace where future generations will relive, through the medium of podcast - our memories of families growing up.

Back in the day, the high street was a different animal. Let us take you back to the time of Woolworths Pick’n’Mix and browsing the latest cassettes (or CD’s) in Our Price. We look back at some of the shops that we remember fondly and share some experiences along the way. Can you name the retailers that were around back then, but no longer exist. All this and more are discussed in this weeks episode.

In this episode we look back to secondary (high) school and consider the formative years that made us the people we are today. Were we good students? What was it like going from our quaint little village schools into the big leagues and who were the memorable teachers? Find out what was Owen’s secret weapon to enforce classroom superiority and Mike’s run in with an inappropriate teacher.

Way back before portable electronic devices, nestled amongst toys, TV and playing with friends – films played a huge part of our earlier lives. Back then watching a film was an event, both the process and the screening. In this episode we recall the sweet sweet memories – and reflect – was there really no bad films (apart from Fantasia)…?

Mike and Owen are both “computery guys” and in this episode we talk about the humble computer. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s really saw the birth of home computing and we discuss some of the classic machines and games of the time. Press play and then any key to start loading the episode.
