This week on the Generation Gapcast, we’re diving under the duvet to explore one of the biggest issues affecting every generation — sleep.

Joined by sleep expert Louise Berger and autism and anxiety sleep specialist Kelly-anne Riley-Smith, we unpack common sleep myths, teenage night owl habits, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, screen time, health trackers, and why we might actually be sabotaging our own ...

This week on the Generation GapCast, we put nostalgia to the test. Literally.

As GCSE exam mock season hits, Yoni challenges his dad to sit  'basic' foundation exam questions in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Maths… live, with no Googling and no mercy!

From bacterial cells to bus-stop division, with self-heating tea mugs and thermal conductivity, the episode turns into a hilarious and sur...

From doomscrolling and viral hoaxes to comparison culture, peer pressure, and screen-time boundaries, the trio explore how social media really affects young people’s mental health, and when it doesn’t.

With plenty of laug...

New year, fresh promises, and absolutely no intention of keeping them.

In the first Generation GapCast episode of the year, Rick and Yoni tackle New Year’s resolutions through two very different generational lenses. From Christmas mishaps and Secret Santa confusion (yes, including unwanted vegan chocolate) to whether anyone actually sticks to their goals past January, the pair unpack health, fitness, men...

Reindeer antlers, jingling bells, and one very patient dad.

This festive episode of The Generation Gapcast descends into chaos almost immediately.

Rick and Yoni head to London to buy a guitar, argue about the ’80s, Stranger Things, and whether life was better before Wi-Fi, all while dodging Christmas crowds and dad complaints.

There’s nostalgia, teenage philosophy, musical amb...

We dive into the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully spooky.

We talk to a psychic medium who claims she died, toured the afterlife, and came back with receipts (and always get a parking space at the mall), a teacher who walked into a living room and found a Victorian ghost relaxing in an armchair, and a Floridian ghost hunter who’s seen shadow-children creeping across lighthouse floors.

The holidays are coming! It's the first Generation GapCast’s festive special. An episode that starts with a failed trailer, descends into a five-minute laughing fit, and somehow gets worse from there.

 

Rick opens by flooding the house during a DIY plumbing attempt (shocking no one), while Yoni provides live commentary on why his dad should legally be banned from touching tools. The pair di...

Buckle up! Rick and Yoni take The Generation GapCast on the road for a full-throttle day of chaos, carbs, and questionable life choices.

It all kicks off in on their way to a demolished shopping centre.

From there, it’s a downhill grease slide to a burger joint that are a little on the oily side, milkshakes thicker than mud, a Wingstop review leaving Rick with blue cheese sauce over his fac...

Rick (proudly bald) swears life was tougher when “streaming” meant rain down a drainpipe, whilst Yoni (Wi-Fi native) argues modern kids have it harder because Snapchat might delete them any second.

Between arguments about slippers-as-weapons, Nanny Plum, and existential panic at 3% battery, the Generation Gap has never been this entertaining—or this chaotic. They battle it out to see which generation rea...

Rick (the dad who still burns CDs) and Yoni (the teen who thinks Wenzels is “posh Greggs”) Turn to the age old debate - does the North or South of England reign supreme? Rick waxes poetic about chip butties and Vimto while Yoni defends Tottenham cake like it’s a national treasure. They argue about accents (“bath” vs “baaaath”), football (“the North wins because banter”) and after multiple failed sound checks, fizzy...

Recorded on the eve of Rick’s 51st and Yoni's 16th, this episode is a wild ride through teenage lingo that leaves Rick utterly baffled. There's More nostalgic tangents, a secret playground language in the 1980's called Argy Bargy, Yoni's Oasis obsession (because, naturally, he’s got concert merch pre-bought), and  a father-son chat that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilariously unhinged.  HG one (whatever that means)! 🎉

What was “cool” back then? Fuzzy-Felt, Care Bears, Speak & Spell, and cassette tapes. What’s “cool” now? TikTok trends, peer-pressured haircuts, and pretending Manchester is the new Malta.

In this episode, Rick and Yoni go head-to-head in the ultimate battle of old school vs. new cool.

Expect dad catchphrases, surprise Alexa interruptions, a deep dive into questionable retro toys, and p...

We’ve taken the studio up North into a living room in Manchester where we meet  the  grandparents/parents.

They think TikTok is an alarm clock, Snapstreaks are pointless, and ‘leng’ is just nonsense. We debate the profound meaning of 'Skibidi toilet,' and question why anyone would ever need to know where their friends are at all times.

From Arby’s nostalgia to baffling social media trends, it’s a family clash of the generations. eq...

We dip our toes into exploring how micro-transactions, cosmetic upgrades, and virtual events shape modern play. Mixing humour with genuine concern, and a dash of mild despair. We compare today’s digital spending habits to old-school collectibles, touch on the risks of addictive purchase...

In the debut episode of The Generation GapCast, a grumpy dad and his TikTok-savvy teen son go head-to-head over the viral insanity of “TikTok food.”

From battling crowds for underwhelming chicken at Raising Cane’s to nearly selling their souls for a Magnolia Bakery banana pudding, they eat their way through America’s most overhyped snacks—so you don’t have to.

Along the way, dad reminisces about catchy 80s TV jingles while his son ...
