From Kate Bush to Nicki Minaj, from Janet Jackson to TLC and Taylor Swift, pop’s greatest female pioneers are simply strange: smashing notions of taste and decorum.

Instead of rehashing biographies, author Lesley Chow dives deep into the music of these groundbreaking performers, identifying the ecstatic moments in their songs and finding out what makes them unique.

I had a chance to ask Lesley who is her favourite (strangest) woman in music?

I talk to Fiona from pr firm Piggy Goes To Market about her experiences working for Polygram in the early 90s. From an unfortunate Stranglers gig, to sharing a lift with Brian Harvey from E-17, to Take That, tune in!

In my podcast titled Back to the 90s. I will be sharing my memories of being a student music journalist during the years 1994-1997. There were a lot of gigs and a lot of fun to be had back then.
