A history themed show, that aimed to contextualise historical events with the music from that year.

It started with the year 1963 (the founding of the university) originally hosted by Dee Wright. In the 6th episode, focusing on 1968 they were joined by Liz Slater, having met the week earlier at the Fresher's OB. This made the show much better, and moved it away from a historical ramble to entertaining radio. Highlights include discussing of the potential affair between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.

The show ran from 15/10/2024 to 27/05/2025, and was nominated at the 2025 Student Radio Awards for Best Entertainment Programming.
