New podcast TALK ’90S TO ME gets back to the decade of Girl Power, Britpop, Lemon Hooch and all-night raves – with the people who were REALLY there

Podmasters announces TALK ’90S TO ME, the brand new podcast with Miranda Sawyer diving deep into a wild decade of chaos, creativity and hedonism.

Presented by award-winning writer and ’90s face-about-town Miranda Sawyer (The Face, Smash Hits, The Observer)

Want to know the real story of how Oasis made Britain mad for it? How ‘Friends’ turned us on to posh coffee and the ‘Rachel’? The secrets of Nirvana, alcopops, ‘Queer As Folk’, ‘Trainspotting’, the Poll Tax riots, Diana’s revenge dress and what it was like to be a Spice Girl?

Plunge back into the decade when Cool Britannia rocked the world and Mitsubishis were the key to a good night with TALK ’90S TO ME, the brilliant new weekly podcast from Podmasters – home of hit shows Oh God, What Now?, This Is Not A Drill and Origin Story.

Every week award-winning broadcaster MIRANDA SAWYER talks to the people who were REALLY there and delves deep into a different topic from this dazzling decade. From ‘Firestarter’ to Cantona, from George Michael’s “bathroom moment” to Kate Moss’s summer of love, TALK ’90S TO ME brings back all the excitement and weirdness of a seismic time – when outsiders, beautiful losers, mis-shapes, mistakes and misfits broke out of pop culture and brought the alternative slap into the mainstream.

“The ’90s was a time of freedom,” says Miranda Sawyer. “Music, film, fashion and going out were all revolutionised by creative outsiders. Youth culture became for everyone. We delve into all the mad behaviour and the wild stories, but also the amazing characters and incredible innovation that utterly changed how we all live and what we want to do with ourselves. The ’90s might seem like a last hurrah but it was a decade that created the world of today.”

Miranda knows what she’s talking about. As a writer for Smash Hits, The Face and Select magazines she was immersed in the non-stop party that was the ’90s, interviewing everyone from The Spice Girls to Madonna, John ‘Pulp Fiction’ Travolta, Jarvis Cocker, Ewan McGregor and Kate Moss. The youngest-ever winner of the Periodical Publishers Association Magazine Writer of the Year award, she went on to present documentaries for Channel 4 and BBC Radio. Her best-selling book about the icons of the ’90s, ‘Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs’, was published last year.

Talk ’90s To Me launches on 28 July on all podcast platforms with full video episodes on Spotify.
