    Josh Widdicombe on TFI Friday and the chaos of ’90s live TV
    Jan 12 2026
    Diving deep into all things ’90s. This week, Miranda is joined by comedian and podcast royalty Josh Widdicombe (who loved ’90s TV so much he even wrote a book about it Watching Neighbours Twice a Day..) to talk about ’90s TV phenomenon TFI Friday hosted by the one and only Chris Evans. Red hair, loud shirts, laddish chaos, celebrity stunts, flashes of brilliance and moments that make you ask, how did that ever get on TV? Evans wasn’t just a presenter in the ’90s, he was a sensation. TFI Friday captured the decade’s excess and bravado perfectly: thrilling, messy and slightly out of control. We’ll probably never see a TV show like it again. But maybe that isn’t a bad thing… • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on: BlueSky Instagram TikTok Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs and Josh’s book Watching Neighbours Twice a Day...

  • Pulp Fiction! Tarantino’s masterpiece that changed cinema forever

    Pulp Fiction! Tarantino’s masterpiece that changed cinema forever
    Jan 5 2026
    Diving deep into all things ’90s. Cool. Violent. Funny. Quoted to death. Still feels modern today. This week on Talk 90s To Me, Miranda opens the briefcase on 1994’s Pulp Fiction, the film that didn’t just dominate the cinema, it rewired culture entirely. With non-linear storytelling, electric dance scenes, super cool hitmen and a soundtrack that instantly made you cooler just for owning it. This week, Miranda is joined by broadcaster, podcast pioneer and film buff Jamie East to unpack how Tarantino’s second film turned him into a household name, resurrected John Travolta’s career, launched a thousand posters, and became the film everyone pretended they understood the first time round. • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on: BlueSky Instagram TikTok Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
