Previous Episode

Little Dome: August 2004 (Olympic Marathon, EastEnders thefts and Bernard Levin)

Comedy writer Gareth Gwynn spent August 2004 mopping up melted ice cream, Esyllt Sears spent it travelling between London and Cardiff and a group of Olympic marathon runnners spent it navigating the route of the 1896 marathon - although a (since defrocked) Irish priest had other plans. The interrupted marathon is one of the topics covered in this look back at the news 20 years ago this month - and there's a brief visit to 1963 as we remember the journalist Bernard Levin and a moment he'd probably rather forget.

Video of the olympic marathon incident is here and the video of Bernard Levin being punched is here.

The Best Of The Xennial Dome (Part I)

1 Recommendations

A Xennial is someone born between 1977 and 1985 - the tail end of Gen X and the older (or "geriatric", ugh) millennials.

The Xennial Dome is/was the podcast which looked back at the Xennial era - Presented by comedy writer Gareth Gwynn and stand-up Esyllt Sears, the show studied the month in xennial history, as well as interviewing notable xennials about their experiences growing up alongside the internet and leaving home just in time for a global financial crisis. Other history podcasts tackle battles and empires, legendary figures and tragic antiheroes and ours does too - but in the form of Northern Rock, 20th Century Fox and Pete Waterman.

This is the first of two Best Of episodes which draw a line under the podcast’s "Xennial Dome" era. We'll be back in October with a new name... But you'll be fine. If you coped with the Marathon, Jif and Opal Fruits rebrands, we’re more than confident you can navigate this.
