Talk ’90s to me

Hosted by award-winning journalist Miranda Sawyer, this podcast is a vibrant deep dive into the decade that gave us Britpop, girl power, and the dawn of the digital age. Each episode serves as a time machine, pulling apart the cultural artifacts that defined a generation—from the subversive teen spirit of Clueless and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the high-stakes, drug-fueled excess of the music industry.
