    When Posh married Becks – The original Beckham wedding that dazzled Britain
    Jan 26 2026
    Diving deep into all things ’90s. Brooklyn and Nicola? Pffft. In 1999 David Beckham and Victoria Adams were the two most stratospherically famous people in Britain – and their wedding blew the nation’s collective mind. How did the Posh’n’Becks nuptials change celebrity culture, the media and the minds of everyday people? Diehard Posh’n’Becks fangirl, Guardian columnist and Mirror veteran Polly Hudson joins Miranda to look at the purple outfits, the bespoke thrones, that (ahem) unusual “VD” monogram and the “private wedding alcoves” that made the People’s Royal Wedding. • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon • Go to ⁠https://surfshark.com/t9tm⁠ or use code T9TM at checkout to get 4extra months of Surfshark VPN!

  • Britney Spears – the world’s most powerful teenager

    Britney Spears – the world’s most powerful teenager
    Jan 19 2026
    Diving deep into all things ’90s. In 1999, Britney Spears exploded into pop superstardom. One song, one video, and suddenly she was everywhere with barely any build-up and no room to breathe. Was Britney’s debut a pop miracle, or the start of a life lived on other people’s terms? This week, Miranda Sawyer is joined by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, author Being Britney, to look back at culture that made her, adored her, and then watched as the consequences played out in public? • Want an extra mini-pod every two weeks, early ad free episodes and access to some mint merch? ⁠Support us on Patreon • Go to https://surfshark.com/t9tm or use code T9TM at checkout to get 4extra months of Surfshark VPN!

  • Josh Widdicombe on TFI Friday and the chaos of ’90s live TV

    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...
