About this episode
Angela Barnes and Adam Pennington discuss nostalgia and medieval history with comedic flair.
In this week’s episode of the Podscarf we welcome English stand-up comedian Angela Barnes and Tudor historian Adam Pennington to the studio for an hour of pure, unadulterated high-street nostalgia and medieval gore. Angela reveals how she used to operate as a suitcase-wielding, bootleg DVD library out of her dad's Great Yarmouth sex shop, and find out why the internal gases of King Henry VIII caused him to literally pop inside his own coffin. --- 00:00 – Gary's Basement Eggs and the Over-Tight Costume Crisis 00:19 – Formulating a £30 "Corned Beef Spam Nut" Kit for Nostalgic Pensioners 03:30 – Licky the Mascot Gives an Extravagant Face-Licking to a Married Woman 05:11 – Turning 50: The 1970s Nuclear Survival Kit Tobacco Tin Lore 06:39 – Waking Up to the Casualty Theme Tune 08:12 – Phoning in the "Angst" Tour and Saving a Life with The Archers 09:51 – Podcasting for "Young" Pensioners and Failing to Sing Like Jeremy Hardy 10:33 – Outsourcing Our Brains to Siri until We Become Sofa Blobs 11:43 – Sarah the AI Bot Summons the Medway Posse and Bigs up Chatham 13:20 – The Maidstone Anthem: Sex Shops, Golden Boots, and Prison Walls 14:40 – High Street Slander 15:22 – Checkers Model Shops…
