Introducing a brilliantly niche historical podcast – a retro journey back through the topical key points of our modern world, disguised as a mere celebration of simpler times, but loaded with eye-opening truths and historical reality that’s kept striking and captivating in every case.
Built from twenty-minute episodes as standard, Gone Radio 410 The Error is every bit as retro and nostalgic as its title and artwork imply, but it’s also immensely impressive in its research and intelligence as a conceptual deep-dive.
The host has done a fine job of capturing the essence of each topic and time-stamp throughout this fairly new but already well-established format, and the results are both comfortingly old-school and refreshingly committed to the cause.
Most recently, Gone 80s takes you right back to the radio days of the 1880s, with canned vocals, raw production traits, excitement and commercial-like vibrancy that genuinely turns back the clock. The episode then proceeds to dive into a discussion that openly and insightfully explores the exploitation of workers and the leveraging of government corruption that took place during the 1880s.
Created by host Nickohlessa, who self-writes and performs almost every aspect of the show, the podcast utilises a voice-changer to create a plethora of different characters and segments, and also uses the help of AI to offer up original songs and comical moments that help light up the fullness and excitement of any given episode.
Still in its infancy but already engaging for its original tone and the exploration of topics that are otherwise left to rot in the outskirts of historical knowledge, Gone Radio 410 The Error is both entertaining and informative, and provides a quick-fire run-through of a multitude of perspectives and scenes that naturally leave you keen to hear more.
The podcast began just last month, with the iconic episode Gone Millennial, and given the short but concise nature of all four episodes to date, it makes sense – and is enjoyably easy – to start here and simply make your way through the season in one go.
