A more sensible title for this episode would have been "Spam", but I'm not going to risk it getting algorithmically marked, blocked and binned - so I've gone for something else. May 1978 saw the first ever unwanted mass-email and the first ever early May Bank Holiday in the UK which was, surprisingly, similarly poorly received - and all this happened to a backdrop of Boney M.There's loads of additional viewing/listening for this one, so once you've finished, feel free to get stuck-in to the following...* The full story of Charlie Chaplin's grave was covered in our March 1978 episode.* For more on Boney M check out our interview with writer and star of the Mary's Boy Child video - the very funny Anna Jordan.* And if you want to see people moaning about being given a day off, check out this BBC video of the first May Day Bank Holiday. The Union Jack pinny/PVC Mac combo will shortly be available in the I'm So Not Over It shop.Send us spam (actually, don't do that) to imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.

May 1998 (Euro and Eurovision)
May 1998 was all about Birmingham - with the G8 and Eurovision both happening in the city in the same month - leading to resources (and, presumably, glitter) being shared. Gareth Gwynn runs through the details of both events plus the botched minting of the first euro coins, while Esyllt Sears lays down some ground rules about when you can and can't approach her on a train to talk about losing your virginity.Check out Eyllt's appearence on Crushed with Margaret Cabourn-Smith.Get in touch by email on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.

I'm So Not Over It is a comedy history podcast about things you'll remember from the first time round. Each week comedy writers Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears explore a different month in history – but with a brief stretching from the mid-70s to the present day. Basically, if you could see it, it would be in colour.It’s politics and pop culture for the eighties, nineties, noughties and beyond, delivered in 20 minute hits because we know what your attention span is like. So if you remember Westlife but struggle with the Westland affair and if your favourite Aitken was a Tory MP or the one who co-wrote I Should Be So Lucky, we’ve got you covered in this ridiculous historical guide to the information age (even if that information came from a poorly recalled browse of Encarta ‘95). These weekly episodes are interspersed with interviews with the people who lived through this period to understand whether it has had any bearing on the lives they lead today.The perfect listen, whether you’re Generation X, Gen X, Xennial, Millennial, Generation Z, Gen Z or whatever Pepsi wants to call you.I'm So Not Over It is brought to you by the team behind the award nominated Xennial Dome Podcast - Previous guests on that show include Nish Kumar, Jess Philips MP, Trevor & Simon, Isy Suttie and many more and those episodes can be found on the same podcast feed.I'm So Not Over It is a Mighty Bunny Production.
