The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. On April 7, 1998, George Michael was arrested for “lewd conduct” in a Beverly Hills public toilet. But instead of shrinking away in shame, he flipped the script. What followed rewrote the rulebook on how celebrities came out, and shifted the way we talked about sexuality. This week, Jack Guinness, curator of The Queer Bible , joins Miranda Sawyer to revisit the scandal that swept the nation. We dive into George Michael’s unapologetic wit, the activism that defined him, and the secret loves that shaped some of pop’s most romantic songs.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by Ted Kessler, co-author of A Sound So Very Loud which covers every single song the band ever made, to discuss their journey – from the ’90s origins to their current mega-selling stadium tour.
