Talk ’90s to me

Tomb Raider! – Lara Croft, girl power and the game that changed everything


Listen Later

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.
