The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. This time: How did a novel about heroin, unemployment and clubbing become a cultural phenomenon? Miranda Sawyer is joined by Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting, to talk about the book’s legacy, from drug-fuelled nights to its impact on how we talk about class, masculinity, and even his plans for a brand new musical. Plus, we explore his new novel, Men in Love, which brings the Trainspotting characters into the modern day.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. This time: Oasis brought chaos, electricity and working-class swagger to a music scene dominated by po-faced grunge and indie bands in the early 1990s. How did the Gallaghers go from humble beginnings in Manchester to taking over the world? 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.
