whY2k - the noughties podcast Joshua T. Davis

Joshua returns to talk about our new King, Charles, who as a child flushed his pet toad down the toilet starting a chain reaction that lead to the events depicted in 2006's 'Flushed Away'.

Joined by Jacob Simmons (@JacobWritesIt), we discuss Ardman's under-appreciated classic, and try not to let technical difficulties get the better of us.

Joshua is joined by his old friend and former student-radio co-host, Chris Hambling to talk about a masterpiece of early noughties cinema, 'National Treasure'. Possibly one of the most 'post 9/11' films ever made.

The late 90s were all about boybands, and the early 2000s were about boyband breakups. Joshua is joined by *NSYNC visual archivist, Nicole Raposo to talk about the rise and fall of the band, the strange post-band activities of the members and how fandom culture has changed since the early noughties.

Joshua is joined once again by Georgia Francis to talk about something that Joshua knows very little about because they were very uncool: indie music. Using the soundtracks to two tentpole movies from the 2000s, Joshua and Georgia break down the trends, sounds and predjudices in the noughties indie scene, and wrap up by taking a look at a seminal alt blog, Hipster Runoff.
