About this listen

Episode 11 Season 4 - Before Apple. Before Microsoft. Before sanity… there was Fisher-Price.In this barely researched exposé, James and Andy uncover the suspiciously advanced nature of 80s toys—were those plastic cash registers and beeping baby phones actually early tech prototypes? Was Fisher-Price the secret Silicon Valley of toddler Britain?This highly unreliable investigation also includes:🔍 Turtles in UK restaurants (we wish we were joking)👶 The strange phenomenon of caged children (perfectly normal at the time… apparently)💻 The first ever iPad? Possibly. Probably not.😢 James’ deeply unlucky friend (we’re sorry, mate)🧠 And the question on everyone’s mind: Was that Trump’s first computer?Prepare for nostalgia, confusion, and wild speculation that makes absolutely no sense—yet somehow feels… right.Disclaimer: Nothing in this episode should be considered accurate, except the bits that accidentally are.(Season 4 - 2025) Bring Back The 80s PODCAST .com - A new episode every Tuesday!
