    Andrew Weatherall – From Primal Scream to Warp Records and beyond, the Guv’nor of British dance music

    28/09/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    Diving deep into all things ’90s… We celebrate Andrew Weatherall, the DJ giant who influenced every corner of electronic music across the ’90s and ’00s. Master arranger, remix royalty, father of indie dance and pioneering selector, he brought dub, rock and roll, soul, pop, punk, noise and techno from across all generations to the dancefloor. “Wevvers” kickstarted the ’90s with Primal Scream’s ‘Loaded’ and subsequent album Screamadelica, working with Happy Mondays, New Order, Beth Orton, The Manics, St Etienne and My Bloody Valentine.

    Then there’s his time on the infamous acid house fanzine Boy’s Own, his massively-influential Warp-signed band The Sabres of Paradise, right the way up to his Nine O’Clock Drop compilation which heralded the ’00s electroclash revolution. Veterans of Jockey Slut magazine (now Disco Pogo) Jim Butler and Johnno Burgess of Bugged Out! fame, join Miranda to talk about their book A Disco Pogo Tribute To Andrew Weatherall and celebrate the man known as The Guv’nor.

    Kylie! – Michael Hutchence, ‘Indie Kylie’ and those gold hotpants

    21/09/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    Diving deep into all things ’90s… It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for. We present to you, Princess of Pop, ultimate gay icon, international treasure… Kylie. She kicked off the decade with Michael Hutchence on her arm – a masterclass in shaking off your good girl past – before diving into the world of indie via Nick Cave, the Manics, the Poetry Olympics, and a series of identity-shifting haircuts. There were highs, and there were definitely lows. Indie Kylie left the fans wanting, and the death of Michael Hutchence closed the door on one of the most important chapters of her life. But the millennium – and those gold hotpants – heralded a comeback like no other. Today we are talking ALL things Kylie, and who better to lead us than the fabulous Michael Cragg: returning Talk ’90s guest, journalist, Kylie fanatic and author of Can't Get You Out of My Head: In Search of Kylie, out on September 24th.

    The Face magazine – How the Bible of the ’90s launched Kate Moss and got sued by Jason Donovan

    14/09/2026 | 59 mins.
    Diving deep into all things ’90s… From Kate Moss and Keanu Reeves to Blur, Britpop and climate change, the original style mag The Face celebrated youth culture as well as spotlighting social change. Founded by former NME editor Nick Logan in May 1980, it paved the way for titles like i-D and Dazed. When Nick fell ill in the mid-80s, Sheryl Garrett stepped up to become editor, and under her and art director Phil Bicker it became the face of everything cool in ’90s music, fashion, film and culture.

    When they put a Corrine Day shot of a fresh-faced young girl on the May 1990 cover, The Face launched Kate Moss’s career. From jungle to Britpop, Harlesden to Hollywood, the mag was there creating stories and shoots that still resonate today. Sheryl joins us to discuss life at the epicentre of Cool Britannia, how they knew Kate Moss was a star, and the infamous Jason Donovan lawsuit which nearly folded the magazine for good.

    07/09/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    Diving deep into all things ’90s… He’s Britain’s best and most admired film critic and he cut his teeth in the ’90s, but what are Mark Kermode’s favourite movie soundtracks from our favourite decade? The bequiffed star of 5Live, primetime TV and now his award-winning podcast with Simon Mayo has co-authored a book Mark Kermode's Surround Sound: The Stories of Movie Music. He joins Miranda to pin down his three most beloved soundtracks from the ’90s and declare war on infuriatingly on-the-nose musical moments in film.
