Category: Vintage IYH

Vintage era episodes of Into Your Head podcast. Please beware – Into Your Head has evolved over two decades and 850+ episodes. The vintage era is preserved for a handful of listeners who claim to have found it listenable, thus enabling me in this ludicrous endeavour for longer than most serial killers.

Original description: “This is an odd one. More of a “non show” than a show. A bit like Show 77, which explains why was able to just copy and paste this paragraph. Thanks for listening.
We’ll skip the “Tonight’s Topics” listings, seeing as how I have to get up in about five minutes”
