Summary

For this month's first Britainology, Nate and Milo examine a BBC children's show that has been running since the 1950s, despite no one watching it. The show is called Blue Peter, it's extremely boring, it feels like it's been taken out of a different era, and yes, there are allegations of adultery and drug use (it's Britain after all!) Hope you enjoy.

that one, but I can't think of American TV shows that, like, aren't just repeated content,

like old Looney Tunes cartoons and things like that.

0:28.5

That's been going for that long.

0:31.0

I mean, Sesame Street is the first one that comes to mind.

0:34.1

I'm trying to think of anything else.

0:35.6

I mean, I consider don't have kids.

0:36.6

Like, I haven't watched a lot of kids TV programming since I was a kid.

But the news.

The news.

0:44.8

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:45.9

I'll get into that.

0:47.4

I want to talk about watching American news, which is once again, a thing that always

0:50.2

shocks me when I come back. It's just very funny because I go to the gym, for example, and they have Fox News on all the TVs because it's America. And like, it's on silent,

but it's just like, you know, shop owner told to close store because New York City doesn't grant
