In 1993, one phone conversation rocked the entire world.

A private phonecall between a Prince and his rumoured mistress was splashed onto the pages of the world's biggest tabloid magazine. It lead to a high-profile divorce, global embarrassment and more tampons content than you can poke a stick at. 

This episode Holly unpacks Tampon-Gate, the who, the how and most importantly the why?!

One story, two generations, so much WTF.
