The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. Boy bands were a big deal in the ‘90s, with Take That paving the way for what feels like hundreds of different groups. From Westlife, to 5ive to East 17 to plenty you haven’t heard of or whose songs are forgettable, sorry Boyzone. Miranda discusses this phenomenon with Michael Cragg, author of Reach for the Stars: 1996–2006: Fame, Fallout and Pop’s Final Party.

Back us on Patreon and get a special extra podcast like this every two weeks. On our first mini-pod, the story of Unfinished Sympathy. Back in 1991, a mystery trio from Bristol were mixing hip hop, soul, dancehall and house into a potent, bass-driven and very danceable sound that would reshape ’90s music. Stand-up comic and fan Carl Donnelly tells Miranda how Massive Attack inspired everyone from Portishead, Mo’Wax, The Chemical Brothers big beat to Björk and U2. Just don’t call it “trip-hop”…

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty didn’t just make pop music in the 90s. They abducted it, held it to ransom, then gleefully set it on fire. From their acid-house days to a feud with ABBA and eventually a million-quid bonfire, The KLF combined pop with art and the final result was chaos. This week, Miranda Sawyer talks to Joe Muggs about how two pop pranksters built a cult out of rave culture, Doctor Who mashups and why people are still searching for the road to Mu Mu Land.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. For our special Halloween episode, we’re looking back at the film that defined ‘90s horror. When Scream slashed into cinemas in 1996, Wes Craven’s meta-masterpiece tore up the rulebook and rewrote the genre for a new generation. Miranda Sawyer is joined by Clark Collis, author of Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie to find out why Scream is still the sharpest horror satire and asking the question: “What’s your favourite scary movie?”

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. Before YouTube, before TikTok, Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish were ahead of the curve: parodying Hollywood blockbusters with toys, pranking shopkeepers with the direction of Louis Theroux and doing it all on a shoestring budget. This week, Miranda Sawyer is joined by Adam Buxton, podcaster, national treasure and author of I Love You, Byeee, to look back at the cult brilliance of Channel 4’s The Adam and Joe Show.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. The world met Lara Croft in 1996 and video games were never the same again. The decade’s most iconic heroine wasn’t just raiding tombs; she was breaking boundaries, redefining gaming, and accidentally becoming a global sex symbol in the process. This week, Miranda’s joined by tech expert and OG gamer girl Aleks Krotoski, host of Radio 4’s The Digital Human and author of The Immortalists, to talk polygons, power fantasies, and why Miranda herself might be partly responsible for Lara’s leap into the mainstream.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. In May, 1992, Fifty thousand people descended on Castlemorton Common for a week-long party that scandalized Middle England and rewrote the rules of British nightlife. This week, Miranda Sawyer sits down with filmmaker Aaron Trinder, director of Free Party: A Folk History, to dig into the delirious mayhem of Castlemorton, the legal fallout and the cultural shift away from raves and how the fallout changed nightlife culture to this day.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. In 1997, Mark and Lard landed the biggest job in British radio: hosting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Nine months later, ratings had plummeted and the two were sacked. On this week’s Talk 90s To Me, Miranda Sawyer sits down with Mark Radcliffe, one half of the comedy duo, to look back at the short, chaotic stint that nearly broke the station, from surrealist humour, clashes with management and the surprising support from pop megastars like Kylie Minogue and David Bowie.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. From cone bras to the sexist coffee table book of all time, Madonna ruled the early 90s like no one else. In the wake of record breaking Blonde Ambition tour, she became both the decade’s biggest pop icon and public enemy number one. Provocative videos, banned shows, and revealing documentaries the erotic era was worshipped by fans and condemned by the Catholic church. This week on Talk 90s To Me, Miranda Sawyer is joined by John Sizzle to ask: was Madonna simply pushing buttons, or was she rewriting the rules of pop stardom forever?
