    The Hit Factory: Stock, Aitken and Waterman Episode 1: From Coventry schoolboy to the King of Disco In the first episode of this four part series, Josh Widdicombe and comedian and friend Matthew Crosby discuss the amazing story of Stock, Aitken and Waterman's 'Hit Factory' record label... Join them on a journey from the over crowded post war class rooms of Coventry to the top of the British pop charts (via a few scenic detours to New York and the infamous Studio 54, a very brief spell as a grave-digger, and a run of chart topping hits that included making a superstar of Kylie, Jason, and their office tea boy - Rick Astley) It's a spectacular rags to riches story - and we've barely scratched the surface of it yet. Enjoy!! Episode 2 is available on all podcast platfroms on the 14th January. If you want to get in touch with the show...

    The Rise and Fall of Mr Blobby (and Noel Edmonds) Episode 4: To Blob, or not to Blob... And so we reach the final chapter of the Rise and Fall of Mr Blobby and Noel Edmonds… The former is now firmly in the rear view mirror, although like all great legends - they never truly die and I have a feeling we may see him again… And the latter is about to experience a late career renaissance in the form of a Dutch quiz show format which ruled the airwaves largely due to his broadcasting brilliance… And then, unsurprisingly, things take an even more bizarre turn… Thanks for joining us on this journey xxx Please subscribe, leave a review, and spread the word if nostalgic pop culture is your cup of tea!!

    The Rise and Fall of Mr Blobby (and Noel Edmonds) Episode 3: Done Blobbin' - Mr Blobby's Downfall In the penultimate episode of the series, Josh Widdicombe and comedian Tom Craine explore the incredible rise and fall of Mr Blobby and Noel Edmonds. When we left him at the end of episode 3, Mr Blobby's fame and notoriety had hit giddy stratospheres… He topped the music charts with a Christmas #1 single... His face was on countless lunchboxes, pencil cases, and allegedly - lampshades all across the nation… But his giant rubber reach was about to exceed his grasp, and as Blobby fatigue set in across the nation his fall from grace was imminent… We also take a lovely nostalgic detour through the archives of iconic British TV puppets via everyone's favourite rodent, Roland Rat. And we discuss the birth of breakfast television on BBC and ITV. Enjoy!! If you want to get in touch with the show...
