🎙️ Bring Back The 80s – The Podcast That Smells Like Atari Cartridges and School Dinners!

Join hosts Andy Jackson and James Alderson as they fire up the nostalgia machine and take you on a hilarious trip back to the days of Rubik’s Cubes, mullets, and dodgy synth music.

In this episode, they dive headfirst into the wonderful world of Fisher Price toys – from clunky plastic telephones to that garage set every kid owned (and broke). But things really go off the rails around 0:40–1:28, when they tackle the truly important questions like:

• Could Donald Trump have owned Fisher Price??

• Was Fisher Price actually better than the internet?

• What even happened to doctors?

• Why did we have to change clocks manually in the 80s (and did we even know why)?

• And why was it perfectly normal that boys had boys stuff and girls had girls stuff?

Plus:

• A look at parenting in the 80s vs now (spoiler: seatbelts were optional)

• Whatever happened to the 2.4 children family ideal?

• And of course, that age-old solution to all TV problems: “Give the telly a whack!”

It’s a joyful, slightly chaotic stroll down memory lane, full of laughs, questionable fashion choices, and enough 80s references to make a DeLorean jealous.

👾 Expect:

• Glorious tales of growing up in 80s UK

• Toy-box deep dives (and the trauma of stepping on plastic people barefoot)

• A lot of "Remember that!?" moments

• And the occasional dodgy impression of a children's TV presenter

So grab your Spangles, sit back, and press play — because it’s time to Bring Back The 80s!

Episode 11 Season 4 - Before Apple. Before Microsoft. Before sanity… there was Fisher-Price.In this barely researched exposé, James and Andy uncover the suspiciously advanced nature of 80s toys—were those plastic cash registers and beeping baby phones actually early tech prototypes? Was Fisher-Price the secret Silicon Valley of toddler Britain?This highly unreliable investigation also includes:🔍 Turtles in UK restaurants (we wish we were joking)👶 The strange phenomenon of caged children (perfectly normal at the time… apparently)💻 The first ever iPad? Possibly. Probably not.😢 James’ deeply unlucky friend (we’re sorry, mate)🧠 And the question on everyone’s mind: Was that Trump’s first computer?Prepare for nostalgia, confusion, and wild speculation that makes absolutely no sense—yet somehow feels… right.Disclaimer: Nothing in this episode should be considered accurate, except the bits that accidentally are.(Season 4 - 2025) Bring Back The 80s PODCAST .com - A new episode every Tuesday!
