About this episode
We welcome our wonderfully funny friend Helen Bauer to the pod studio who arrived prepared already wearing a jumper commemorating Princess Diana for our venture into the forgotten world of 1997. Royal conspiracies abound about the fateful crash but was a young 6 year old Helen Bauer who was also in Paris at the time somehow responsible? 1997 also sees Kylie Jenner being born, the Heavens Gate cult commits mass suicide, President Bill Clinton makes it illegal to clone human beings, Pokemons cause a lot of stir in Japan, Mattel tries to be woke with a disabled Barbie but then locks her out of her Dream House. Also Bobby learns how to pronounce ciabatta and who wants to be a Redophile?
