Episode Description

Sucking non-Conformist hard boiled sweets wi’ nowt taken out, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray continue with new-ish feature Backward Glance, in which a Random Issue Generator picks out an old copy of WSC magazine from the archives for them to chat about. This time, Issue 125 from July 1997 pops up to deliver tidings of Sargeant Wilko’s reformist zeal, Bob Newton at the burger van, Channel 5’s brave new football world, Schuster to Reading, Trevor Francis’s toilet enquiry, Pontus Kåmark’s museum fakery and so much more. Plus, magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 456 and Record Breakers brings us a Bochum banger.
