Diving deep into all things ’90s. The Disney Renaissance is usually remembered for its big tunes and Broadway bombast, but one of its most long-lasting impacts is the strength of its villains. From a sea witch inspired by the most transgressive drag queen of the ’80s to a Shakespearean lion schemer voiced by Jeremy Irons, these characters defined the era. Louder, stranger and far more interesting than the nice, beige heroes they were supposed to lose to. This week on Talk ’90s To Me, we’re diving into the gay Disney villains of the ’90s with comedian and host of Welcome to Hell Dan Foxx. We explore why Disney’s baddies were allowed all the flamboyance its heroes weren’t, how queerness became shorthand for glamour, danger and excess, and why these characters have grown in popularity in the decades since. • Go to ⁠⁠https://surfshark.com/t9tm⁠⁠ or use code T9TM at checkout to get 4extra months of Surfshark VPN!⁠ • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs or Dan’s book Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Brooklyn and Nicola? Pffft. In 1999 David Beckham and Victoria Adams were the two most stratospherically famous people in Britain – and their wedding blew the nation’s collective mind. How did the Posh’n’Becks nuptials change celebrity culture, the media and the minds of everyday people? Diehard Posh’n’Becks fangirl, Guardian columnist and Mirror veteran Polly Hudson joins Miranda to look at the purple outfits, the bespoke thrones, that (ahem) unusual “VD” monogram and the “private wedding alcoves” that made the People’s Royal Wedding.  • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon • Go to ⁠https://surfshark.com/t9tm⁠ or use code T9TM at checkout to get 4extra months of Surfshark VPN!

Diving deep into all things ’90s. In 1999, Britney Spears exploded into pop superstardom. One song, one video, and suddenly she was everywhere with barely any build-up and no room to breathe. Was Britney’s debut a pop miracle, or the start of a life lived on other people’s terms? This week, Miranda Sawyer is joined by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, author Being Britney, to look back at culture that made her, adored her, and then watched as the consequences played out in public? • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon • Go to https://surfshark.com/t9tm or use code T9TM at checkout to get 4extra months of Surfshark VPN!

Diving deep into all things ’90s. This week, Miranda is joined by comedian and podcast royalty Josh Widdicombe (who loved ’90s TV so much he even wrote a book about it Watching Neighbours Twice a Day..) to talk about ’90s TV phenomenon TFI Friday hosted by the one and only Chris Evans.  Red hair, loud shirts, laddish chaos, celebrity stunts, flashes of brilliance and moments that make you ask, how did that ever get on TV? Evans wasn’t just a presenter in the ’90s, he was a sensation. TFI Friday captured the decade’s excess and bravado perfectly: thrilling, messy and slightly out of control. We’ll probably never see a TV show like it again. But maybe that isn’t a bad thing… • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs and Josh’s book Watching Neighbours Twice a Day...

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Cool. Violent. Funny. Quoted to death. Still feels modern today. This week on Talk 90s To Me, Miranda opens the briefcase on 1994’s Pulp Fiction, the film that didn’t just dominate the cinema, it rewired culture entirely. With non-linear storytelling, electric dance scenes, super cool hitmen and a soundtrack that instantly made you cooler just for owning it. This week, Miranda is joined by broadcaster, podcast pioneer and film buff Jamie East to unpack how Tarantino’s second film turned him into a household name, resurrected John Travolta’s career, launched a thousand posters, and became the film everyone pretended they understood the first time round. • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Did the Great British Christmas Number One peak in the ’90s? Miranda Sawyer sits down with comedian Marc Burrows, author of Mistletoe and Vinyl: The Story of the Christmas No. 1, to get our heads around the annual scramble to be top of the Christmas pops. It’s an epic tale featuring Michael Jackson, the Spice Girls, Queen and even Cliff Richard. Plus: we attempt to answer the most important question of all – what is Mr Blobby, and how did his Christmas Number One help usher in the downfall of the Christmas chart crown?  • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs and Marc’s book Mistletoe and Vinyl: The Story of the Christmas No.1 through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Today we unwrap one of the great Christmas gifts: how a lad from Walthamstow wrote the Crimbo anthem of the 90s. Yes, we’re talking about East 17’s Stay Another Day. Miranda sits down with Tony Mortimer to find out how he turned real heartbreak into a perennial festive classic. Plus: the highs and lows of life in a boyband, four legged bandmates, giant puffa jackets, and how the track even beat Mariah Carey to Christmas No. 1 in 1994 — even though it isn’t very Christmassy! • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on PatreonFollow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Italia ’90 wasn’t just a World Cup, it was a national mood. The summer when Gazza wept, England stumbled heroically, and football suddenly looked… different. Sleeker. Made for TV. This week on Talk ’90s to Me, Miranda Sawyer is joined by Simon Kuper, author of World Cup Fever, to dive back into the tournament that rejuvenated the sport. They talk about the drama and the daftness: Maradona’s chaos, Cameroon’s rise to cult-hero status, and Miranda’s personal choice for the best football song courtesy of New Order and a rap from John Barnes. • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs [[ https://uk.bookshop.org/a/13277/9781399816915 ]] and Simon’s book World Cup Fever: A Footballing Journey in Nine Tournaments [[https://uk.bookshop.org/a/13277/9781805224105 ]] through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. The British high street was everything in the ’90s. A place to roam, reinvent yourself and blow your wages on whatever you fancied. Fashion maven Mary “Queen of Shops” Portas, author of I Shop, Therefore I Am, joins Miranda to revisit a decade when shop floors became catwalks, window displays turned into art, and the real-life fashion of the decade helped inspire the world of Absolutely Fabulous. Mary was right there in the thick of it: transforming Harvey Nichols from dowdy to dazzling and helping set the tone for the high street’s boldest reinvention. From celebrity shoppers to the rise of fast fashion, Miranda and Mary unpack how the shops defined the decade for better or worse.

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. Seinfeld was a “show about nothing” that critics didn’t get, audiences didn’t love at first, and yet somehow became one of the biggest comedy phenomena of the decade. From Jerry’s neuroses and Elaine’s sharp tongue to Kramer’s manic energy and George’s miserable existence, we explore how a strange sitcom rewrote the rules of TV. To help make sense of its unlikely rise, Miranda is joined by Seinfeld superfans: writer Phoebe Roy and comedian Milo Edwards, hosts of Masters of Their Domain to dig into the show’s legacy, favourite episodes, and answer the all-important question: what’s the deal with Seinfeld?

The sudden death of Stone Roses bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield aged only 63 shocked music fans everywhere and led to an outpouring of love and appreciation from fans and friends including Liam Gallagher, New Order, Elbow, the Courteeners, and many more. In a special tribute edition Miranda talks to music journalist John Robb of Louder Than War about how Mani’s bass put the funk into what would become Britpop… how his personality glued the Stone Roses together… and why Mani never ever gave in to cynicism. “He was a lover not a fighter,” says John, “and that’s a pretty nice epitaph to have.” RIP Mani x  Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy John’s Live Forever: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Oasis and Miranda’s Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop.
