Patreon. Chase and Sam are taking on the ultimate quest—a boomer Epic of Gilgamesh, Shahnameh, Middlemarch, or Buddenbrooks, if you will.In honour of Michael Apted's decades-long Up series (1964-2026) coming to an end this autumn, DPP thought subjecting its listeners to a mini series that works its way through English boomer history would be high entertainment, or perhaps light torture.Tracing the lives of 14 English men and women (and one semi-Scot) born in 1957 over seven-year iterations, the Up series creates a strange kind of self-anthropological study of the UK's post-war era: from social democracy to Thatcherism to Blairism through the lens of individual lives.*This week's episode takes place in 1984 - the Up participants are 28, unemployment is raging, Thatcher is dodging assassination attempts in Brighton, and Football Casuals are doing weird things with Burberry.
