Welcome to the Old Mates, New Laughs Podcast page – a place for those of us who grew up in the 80s, survived the 90s, and are now wondering how the hell we got to middle age so fast!
We’ve been mates for 40 years, which means we’ve seen it all – from dodgy 80s haircuts and 90s Britpop, to the joys (and struggles) of being responsible adults (sort of). Our podcast is all about looking back, laughing at ourselves, and figuring out how we got here. Expect nostalgia, bad jokes, and a healthy dose of sarcasm!
We know that our podcast is nothing without it's listeners, and this is where you come in:
Reminisce – Share your favourite memories from growing up in the best decades. What were your favourite kids TV shows? What toys did you play with?
Debate – Whether Blur or Oasis was better (or if you were too cool for both)
Laugh – At the stuff we all thought was normal back then
Relate – To the joys and disasters of hitting middle age
So, if you remember life before the internet, still miss Woolworths, and wonder how we’re now old enough for back pain… you’re in the right place!

This week the lads strap on their parka jackets, lace up their Adidas Gazelles, and head straight into the noisy, swaggering world of 90s Britpop.
From the Blur vs Oasis war that split families down the middle, to the rise of Pulp, Suede, Elastica and the indie boom that made every teenager think they needed a guitar… we’re digging into the decade that defined a generation.
Brendan, Andy & Mike relive the soundtracks of their youth — the festival anthems, the late-night MTV sessions, the singles that lived forever on mixtapes, and the albums that absolutely were not as deep as we pretended they were.
Plus:
🎸 Who actually won the Britpop war?
🥊 Which bands aged like wine… and which aged like warm milk?
🇬🇧 Why Britpop captured the UK so completely (and whether it still holds up today).
It’s loud, it’s nostalgic, and it’s full of 90s swagger — jump in and relive the Britpop era!
