Talk ’90s to me

A special preview of the kind of thing we're doing over on our Patreon to tide you over the new year! Suede, slim and quietly confident, Gazelles could improve almost any outfit. Worn by everyone from indie kids to people who definitely weren’t trying, they went to gigs, clubs, school and back again without fuss. This week on our Patreon pod shot, Miranda is joined by DJ, journalist and man with some of the best shoes in England, Anthony Teasdale, to find out how, 30 years on, Gazelles are still everywhere. • 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. Bookshop.org’s fees help support independent bookshops too. Written and presented by Miranda Sawyer.

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.
