This began as a podcast about BBC TV anthology show Inside No 9 by two people who just wanted to listen to one. But they couldn't. So they started one in the hope that it would inspire someone else to do something better. Five and a half years later, after 130 podcast episodes, the end of the ninth series of Inside No 9 and Stage Fright, Stephen and Andrew didn't want to drift apart with nothing to talk about, so they decided to Pod On. Every two weeks, they explore a meaningful cultural artefact, such as a TV show, film, or album, that they enjoy. They'd love you to join them. As you wouldn't expect adverts when chatting with friends in the pub, you won't find any here. You can support the show and help keep the lights on by becoming a Podding Off Patreon member. Between Podding On episodes, they are rewatching (and creating episodes about) The League of Gentlemen.

Boss Thornton Reed, played by Dean Learner, played by Richard Ayoade, wants this resolved, in a strictly orthodox manner. But Dr Rick Dagless MD, played by Garth Marenghi, played by Matthew Holness, rarely does things by the book. But fortunately his buddy, Dr Lucien Sanchez, played by Todd Rivers, played by Matt Berry, is there to offer a helping hand. Questions? Thoughts? Suggestions? We'd love to hear from you!

    Our cultural artefact for this Podding On episode is the Netflix TV phenomenon, Stranger Things. Stranger Things is an American science fiction horror drama television series created by the Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross Duffer) that premiered on Netflix on July 15, 2016, and concluded with its fifth and final season on November 28, 2025. Set primarily in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s, the series follows a group of young friends who investigate the mysterious disappearance of their friend Will Byers, uncovering a secret government laboratory, a telekinetic girl named Eleven, and a terrifying parallel dimension known as the "Upside Down" that is home to monstrous creatures, all while being pursued by supernatural forces and government agents.   Over on Patreon, we podded off about Making Of documentaries and how the one about Season 5 of Stranger Things might have revealed a little too much sausage making.

    132. "I Will Love it If We Beat Them" | Podding On

    The cultural artefact we are exploring in this Podding On episode is Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan's infamous rant about Alex Ferguson on 29th April 1996. We flick through Paul McCarthy's book, Fever Pitch: The Rise of the Premier League 1992-2004, and reflect on some of the weird, wonderful, and bizarre aspects of the early days of the Premier League. We hope that whether you love, hate, or are generally (dis)interested in football, you will find something to enjoy in our conversation about this British cultural phenomenon thirty years on. In our Patreon-only Podding Off episode, we chat about the irritating, absurd, and sometimes delightful things sports commentators say. Join us there and let us know what we should talk about next! https://patreon.com/aqnin9 Thank you to our first patrons and sponsors for this episode: Donna Lane and Skinnydecaf Support The Show We will never put adverts on this podcast.  Become our Patreon Subscriber and get access to Podding Off (private feed): https://patreon.com/aqnin9 Or drop us a one-off donation and sponsor a future episode: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/aqnin9
