The Xennial Dome Podcast (Live record)

**With special guest Sunil Patel**

Do you have a hotmail dot com account? Did you Ask Jeeves? Do you still remember your best friend’s landline number? Xennial, Gareth Gwynn and other Xennial, Esyllt Sears interview a very special Xennial guest and explore their childhood, peer influences, their politics and hobbies. Has being born between 1977 and 1985, straddling the analogue and digital worlds, truly set them aside from all other generations and does it continue to influence their life today?

Previous guests include comedians Nish Kumar, Isy Suttie, Mark Watson, Jessica Fostekew, Athena Kugblenu, Stuart Laws and the inimitable stars of 80s and 90s Saturday morning TV, Trevor & Simon.

He’s also made a documentary about Harry Secombe, meaning he can also pass for a Boomer at a push.
