Jen O’Dwyer is one of the co-hosts of Mother Of Pod and The Creep Dive. She joined Alan and Sarah to talk about the lost world of the internet in the late 90s/early 00s. We talked about MSN messenger, when Yahoo was the only game in town, the rise of MySpace and Bebo, rotten.com, and eBaum’s World. That last sentence either flooded you with memories or was complete nonsense. If it was the former, join us.

Niamh Farrell from Ham Sandwich returned to Juvenalia to talk to Alan and guest co-host Cassie Delaney about cult classic Empire Records. We talked about music shops, how the film misleads young teens about what being an older teen is like, the soundtrack, how Ham Sandwich is a great band name, about how Empire Records is bad in a lot of ways but still very, very good, and how you should never google Rex Manning’s age.

Sarah Corcoran from Pillow Queens joined us to talk about the sexiest trash monster of 1999, Cruel Intentions. We had a great chat about Ryan Philippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair, and all the gang; Sarah told us about being a film student whose favourite film is Cruel Intentions, and we talked about the amazing soundtrack. It was fun, you’ll like it.

Ber Quinn is a sound engineer and producer who has worked with the likes of The Divine Comedy, Villagers, John Grant, and Lisa Hannigan. He joined Alan and Sarah to talk about Disney’s Aladdin...
Bosco’s friend and puppeteer Paula Lambert joined Alan and Sarah for a very special chat. We talked about what it was like making Bosco in the 80s, Bosco’s friends, how Paula developed the character of Bosco after she took over the role from her sister, the experience of the Bosco live show, and how Bosco chooses when to engage with topics like marriage equality. It was an absolute dream to talk to Paula and she couldn’t have been more welcoming to us. Thank you Paula...
Filmmaker Paul Duane joins Alan and guest co-host Andrea Cleary to talk about the NME in the 80s. We talk about how to find good music in pre-internet Ireland, political music writing, working class autodidacts, owning music vs streaming it, whether boxset rarities are ever worth it, and Paul’s current work with Bill Drummond. It’s a wide-ranging and it was a delight to record.

(Note: there are some sound issues with this episode. It gets better after a couple of minutes so you should stick with it. Sorry about that, it's all Alan's fault)
Author and podcaster Lucy Vine joins Alan and guest co-host Andrea Cleary to talk about Star Trek: The Original Series. We talk about Tribbles, Joan Collins, Spock, and wonder if maybe Captain Kirk has gotten an unfair rep from pop culture history.
