Each of the topics is a point in time in the 90s which had a cultural impact. There is a retrospective review with contemporary sources. My only issue with this format is that each week the guest tells how it impacted them and was a major event…only to discover the guest was only 9-14 years old at the time. This undermines the genuine reaction and passion the guest shows. Maybe get some guests who were late teens to 21 at the time.
Miranda’s Mutley Chuckle Kills It In A Good Way 🤣🤫, loved it all first time round, we all did- M gets it done without the @rz platery and ring craft evident on other cheap imitations.
Would benefit from tighter editing. Miranda’s stream of consciousness style is ok on a subject she knows well, but annoying the rest of the time. A lot of shows ramble endlessly- I rarely get to the end of an episode, despite enjoying many of the subjects.
I refused to listen originally despite liking Miranda’s work as I tend to resist nostalgia. However I’m a solid punter for this pod and it’s slowly won me over. The 90s was the best decade and culturally fascinating.
Love this pod and love Miranda (who’d undoubtedly be one of my sleb dinner party guests coz she’s so knowledgeable, wise and fun!) This pod takes me right back to the best decade yet where fashion, music and politics all coalesced into a perfect set of conditions for being a teenager. Highly recommended discussion for such a phenomenal time in our cultural history. Great guests too!
