About this listen

 The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. In 1997, Mark and Lard landed the biggest job in British radio: hosting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Nine months later, ratings had plummeted and the two were sacked. On this week’s Talk 90s To Me, Miranda Sawyer sits down with Mark Radcliffe, one half of the comedy duo, to look back at the short, chaotic stint that nearly broke the station, from surrealist humour, clashes with management and the surprising support from pop megastars like Kylie Minogue and David Bowie.
