2002 with Rob Mulholland - Eminem, Afghanistan, Ben Affleck, American Idol, Britney Spears splits up from Justin Timberlake & Fifa World Cup

The brilliant and very funny and tolerant, Rob Mulholland joins us for one of our funniest episodes as historian Red Richardson takes us on a tour deep dive tour of 2002, a year when Eminem releases Lose Yourself and his biopic 8 Mile is released in cinemas, Afghanistan changes its name to the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan, Ben Affleck was finally named People magazine's sexiest man alive, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake split up, Simon Cowell starts American Idol, and the Fifa World Cup kicks off. Also Red can't remember his own name as he's sweating so much, Bobby takes offence at being interrupted and Rob has just learnt his hasn't got long to live.
