Hello there, I'm Ben. I write things, produce audio and chuckle at old pop culture ephemera with my friend John. You can find links to all of the above here: linktr.ee/BenBakerBooks @thehouseofsplain.bsky.social @alfsplaining.bsky.social @pantosplaining.bsky.social @noiseboxradio.com
THE LAST LAUGH BEFORE TV-am (Channel 4, 1985) pod.link/1569929507 Ben Baker @benbaker.bsky.social discusses Spike Milligan’s foray onto early C4 with assistance from Chris Langham & Mark Steel. A good excuse to look at the telly landscape at the time (Bob Carolgees & “Don’t Wake Up” anybody?)
As someone that can’t sleep without noise I am a big night time podcast listener. Realised that it was beneficial for me to listen to light things because I was having weird history/politics dreams. Got way too into @pantosplaining.bsky.social

Fringe 1990: From Stage to Superstar

In our look at the Edinburgh Fringe of 1990 we draw a direct line from Jools accidentally swearing on TV to the Hootenanny ruining everybody's new year. Full episode: youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM Anyway, we get a chance to bring Squeeze into the equation so that's alright.
If you love reminiscences about BSB and their square aerials (or "squaraerials") you'll love our look back at - of all things - the 1990 Edinburgh Fringe. No seriously. It's all here: youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM
Victoria Coren's thankfully brief stand up career, happened across by chance in the all new House Of Splain at the #EdinburghFringe in 1990. @edfringe.bsky.social Full episode youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM
The sponsors of the Edinburgh Fringe in 1990 were Kwik Fit, so obviously we spent a good chunk of the podcast looking into that company's history rather than the fringe itself. Full #EdinburghFringe episode - youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM
Whilst flicking through the 1990 Edinburgh Fringe programme we happened across Denis Leary and were SHOCKED by how DANGEROUS and CONTROVERSIAL he was. Full Fringe episode out now: youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM #WatchItOnTheBigTelly
It's happening! The first episode proper of the House Of Splain coming in your ears from 8am, Saturday. The perfect fizzy kick start to your weekend! youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM?...

The House Of Splain@thehouseofsplain.bsky.social · last mo.Thanks to cooking shows Saturday mornings have been rubbish for ages. Well, we're bringing *back* that Saturday Morning excitement by launching the HOUSE OF SPLAIN this Saturday at 8am! We could have done it about Swap Shop or Tiswas but you're smarter than that, so it's about the Edinburgh Fringe!
In the first House Of Splain we're examining the household names at the 1990 Edinburgh Fringe, when the only households they were names in were their own households. And also Hickish & Ball. It's all here! youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM
Many absolute legends, then unknowns, were at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1990 but surely the best value would have been seeing Frank Skinner and Steve Coogan for four quid! It's all at youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM
🏮OUT NOW🏮 The first edition of the all-new House Of Splain looks at the future stars performing at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1990. You'll be *amazed* who we find there! youtu.be/YIbx4HbYseM?... The House Of Splain - your new Saturday morning fun factory.

Today's unrequested Last Of The Summer Wine rewatch opinion: I like Russ Abbot a lot (see the recent @pantosplaining.bsky.social) but his character doesnt work. It's like Foggy with a head injury. Shame because Brian Murphy and Frank Thornton's Alvin and Truly were really good additions to the cast.
There is a new sinister umbrella organisation @thehouseofsplain.bsky.social in charge of your favourite podcasts. Give them a follow.

Oct 28, 1989 - hanging about Harlow waiting for a gig, I stumbled on the local hospital radio doing a roadshow from the town centre. The presenter was so short of things to talk about he did a couple of minutes reading out the offers from the Gas Board shop window.
