Growing Up With Vince & Jeremy: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Rainbow Alley Productions
We grew up in the UK from 1970 to 1990. This show is all about the two of us looking back and putting bits of our shared past under the microscope, from the early ‘80s ‘Protect and Survive’ /Mutually Assured Destruction nuclear panic, to the theme music from The Incredible Hulk; from Wimpy Burgers to wimpy Orac from Blake’s 7; from the Falklands War to Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus. We look back with fondness and bafflement and sometimes with abject disbelief at what life was like when we were growing up.

In this spooktactular edition of what’s been called “the scariest podcast ever recorded” by bull**** ‘medium’ Derek Acorah (not really; just like him, we’re making it all up), Jeremy adopts a new non de plume for his Rock and Roll Name and accidentally insults the state of Texas; Vince solves a centuries old murder case by identifying pretenti...

Send us Fan Mail Vince puts on his blue suede shoes, curls his lip, shakes his hips and takes us back to the August of 1977, when, after years of sad decline, the incomparable Elvis Presley died, aged just 42. Was it drugs or a heart attack? Could it have been prevented if someone was actually caring for the King of Rock and Roll? And, most importantly, just how completely devastated was Vince's Elvis-loving mum? Our UK No 1 comes from 1970, when tough guy Lee Marvin growled that he was born ...
