    Seinfeld – The best sitcom of the ’90s?
    Nov 24 2025
    The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. Seinfeld was a “show about nothing” that critics didn’t get, audiences didn’t love at first, and yet somehow became one of the biggest comedy phenomena of the decade. From Jerry’s neuroses and Elaine’s sharp tongue to Kramer’s manic energy and George’s miserable existence, we explore how a strange sitcom rewrote the rules of TV. To help make sense of its unlikely rise, Miranda is joined by Seinfeld superfans: writer Phoebe Roy and comedian Milo Edwards, hosts of Masters of Their Domain to dig into the show’s legacy, favourite episodes, and answer the all-important question: what’s the deal with Seinfeld?

  • RIP Mani – Why the Stone Roses bass genius was universally loved

    RIP Mani – Why the Stone Roses bass genius was universally loved
    Nov 21 2025
    The sudden death of Stone Roses bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield aged only 63 shocked music fans everywhere and led to an outpouring of love and appreciation from fans and friends including Liam Gallagher, New Order, Elbow, the Courteeners, and many more. In a special tribute edition Miranda talks to music journalist John Robb of Louder Than War about how Mani’s bass put the funk into what would become Britpop… how his personality glued the Stone Roses together… and why Mani never ever gave in to cynicism. “He was a lover not a fighter,” says John, “and that’s a pretty nice epitaph to have.” RIP Mani x Follow us on: BlueSky Instagram TikTok Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy John’s Live Forever: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Oasis and Miranda’s Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop.

    The KLF! The real story of the band that burnt one million quid
    Nov 3 2025
    The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty didn’t just make pop music in the 90s. They abducted it, held it to ransom, then gleefully set it on fire. From their acid-house days to a feud with ABBA and eventually a million-quid bonfire, The KLF combined pop with art and the final result was chaos. This week, Miranda Sawyer talks to Joe Muggs about how two pop pranksters built a cult out of rave culture, Doctor Who mashups and why people are still searching for the road to Mu Mu Land.

    Oct 27 2025
    The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. For our special Halloween episode, we’re looking back at the film that defined ‘90s horror. When Scream slashed into cinemas in 1996, Wes Craven’s meta-masterpiece tore up the rulebook and rewrote the genre for a new generation. Miranda Sawyer is joined by Clark Collis, author of Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie to find out why Scream is still the sharpest horror satire and asking the question: “What’s your favourite scary movie?” Follow us on: BlueSky Instagram TikTok Subscribe to our Spotify playlist Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs and Clark’s book Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
