Show overview
Jack's Throwback Attack has been publishing since 2019, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 38 episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 46 min and 1h 7m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 12 episodes published.
From the publisher
Jack's Throwback Attack is about one British nostalgia nerds mission to revisit the TV shows they remember watching during their childhood and interview the people that made those shows possible. Check out the blog page too http://jacksthrowbackattack.blogspot.com/

The podcast is taking a break until 2023. However, I am releasing a one off special with Steve Ryde which I recorded earlier this year. Steve has an amazing CV when it comes to his work in children's television. Steve started out acting in the likes of 'Your Mother Wouldn't Like It' and 'Palace Hill' in the 1980's. Between 1993-1998 Steve was the voice of the continuity links on CITV and often appeared in many of the promos too. From May 1998 Steve moved to producing CITV when it returned to in-vision pres continuity and was responsible for choosing Stephen Mulhern and Danielle Nicholls to be the new faces of the relaunch. During his CITV days he also acted in Wizadora as Tatty Bogle. Following a move to CBBC in the early 2000's he devised Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow and his voice talents were heard frequently during games of 'Bogies' as the 'Bogey-O-Meter'. His other CBBC credits include devising the likes of The Slammer, Chute, The Legend of Dick and Dom and Crackerjack.
