© 2026 WHO REMEMBERS? The UK Nostalgia Podcast
Description
A nostalgia trip for anyone in the UK who grew up on dial-up Internet, Findus Crispy Pancakes, and playground rumours that couldn't be fact-checked online. We're not historians — we don't do dates, and we barely do facts — this is about the moment something gets mentioned and you go "oh my god, I've not thought about that in years." Science says reminiscing gives your brain a dopamine hit, so think of us as your weekly dose of that exact feeling.
Expect hazy memories, childhood flashbacks, confidently misremembered events, and frequent arguments about who remembers things properly as we rummage through the UK's collective memory box.

It’s Halloween this week, so we are going a bit off script. We’ve already done “things that scared us as kids” TWICE, so this time we’re talking about the real-life things that creep us out.

In this Halloween special we talk about: Victorian post-mortem photography: why families posed for photos with their dead loved ones, and why the pictures are ...
This week we’re digging into the crisps of our childhoods. We cover the classic packets, the flavours that vanished and the lunchbox swaps we’ve never forgotten. This episode was inspired by the book U.K. Crisp Packets 1970–2000: The Incomplete Collection of Chris Packets. It’s a wonderfull archive of three decades of crisp packet design, and a huge thank you to Karl for buying us a copy. We debate what actually counts as a crisp (Quavers? Mini Cheddars? Pork scratchings?), tell the story of ...
Was life really better in the 90s? For once, we try to argue the opposite. In this anti-nostalgia episode, we each pick five everyday things that are better today than they were in the 90s. Things we debate: Holiday photos: online posting vs. an evening trapped looking at someone’s slidesShazam, and the lost art of humming a song at a mateGetting a taxi, from ringing a firm that never answered to tracking your driver on a mapArranging to meet people, and why plans meant more when you co...
We rank the top 10 board games we played as kids, from Snakes and Ladders to Chess, with Mo Money Meakin joining us. Which childhood classic takes number one: Cluedo? Trivial Pursuit? Or something else? We also cover the Atmosfear VHS game, the Mousetrap setup nightmare, Go For Broke, honourable mentions like Hero Quest and Key to the Kingdom, and some Monopoly house rule arguments. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you'll remember most of these.
