Talk ’90s to me

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Stuffed with high-glam, sex-soaked shots featuring the likes of Kylie, Johnny Depp, Madonna, Ewan McGregor and Uma Thurman, Sky Magazine was the glossiest badge of adulthood you could possibly leave on the coffee table. In an age when satellite TV was booming and the remote was king, it catapulted suburban Britain to the heart of Hollywood.   

Sky Magazine’s editor Simon Mills joins Miranda to revisit the glory days of the mag that turned TV listings into a lifestyle.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. “The Judge won’t budge!” DJ Julius O'Riordan AKA Judge Jules was at the centre of the ’90s dance music boom that took the scene from pirate radio and illegal raves to Radio 1, superclubs and Ibiza at its most ’avin it. The law student turned DJ became one of the defining figures of the decade.

Miranda sits down with Jules to talk about how dance music changed across the ’90s, what Ibiza was really like before it went mainstream, and the tracks that defined the era. It turned out that his law degree helped Jules put on raves and led to a career as a music lawyer. So how does he balance that with life as a touring DJ, playing more than 100 gigs a year?

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Cigs for breakfast! Oral sex in the kitchen! Wobbly cameras! E binges! Egg! Milly! Miles! Anna! Warren! And “the punch”. It’s 30 years since the groundbreaking houseshare drama This Life exploded onto our screens and gave us a candid look into the lives of young lawyers living together in London. What made this ramshackle saga work? And what made the characters so believable? Miranda talks over the tears, the tantrums and the fridge arguments with entertainment journalist, podcast host and Sir! Magazine writer Boyd Hilton.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. What happens when you grow up on the most famous square in Britain? Natalie Cassidy was barely a teenager when she became Sonia Fowler and suddenly the nation was watching her first kisses, first heartbreaks and, yes, her many trumpet solos.

In this episode of Talk ’90s To Me, Natalie looks back on life as a child star at the heart of EastEnders at its peak: the pressure, the pace, and the peculiar reality of growing up in public. From her love of Britpop to some of the most gloriously barmy storylines of the decade, it’s a journey that turned her into a bona fide national treasure.

Diving deep into all things ’90s. In 1994, a 19-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio received his first Academy Award nomination for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. It proved he was the real deal  and set him on course to become more than just an actor. Within a few short years he’d become the ultimate poster boy, with bedroom walls across the globe filling up with Leo pictures carefully snipped from teen mags.

This week on Talk 90s To Me, Miranda is joined by journalist and author of the upcoming newsletter Celebrity Intelligence , Dan Wakeford  to revisit the hysteria the tabloids dubbed “Leomania”. From teen magazines and paparazzi economics to Leo’s infamous ‘Pussy Posse’ and the boom years of celebrity gossip, they unpack how the 90s media machine built the cult of Leo.
