  • Like a pint with old friends

    My favourite listen every week. Miranda recounts all the brilliant and wild best bits of the 90’s with the curiosity of someone who wasn’t there, but with the knowledge of someone who was smack bang in the middle of it. I love the laughs and lauding all in one! LISTEN TO THIS, IT’S ACE

  • Miranda knows her stuff! Love!

    A really GOOD podcast. No waffle, no meandering, just great production with properly interesting and well researched topics. A genuine love for the era and a great choice of interviewees has me hooked. Shame about the Diana episode though, I did feel Plum Sykes kind of missed the gist of what was going on…Miranda did well to gently steer her back onto topic! Excellent all round and really look forward to every new episode!
