This episode takes a different approach.
No edits. No theme music. No carefully placed clips.
Just a conversation between Paul and Nick—two longtime Britpop obsessives—looking back on the scene that shaped them. Using The Birth and Impact of Britpop as a springboard, we reflect on our personal connections to the music, the myths that fuelled the era, and how our views have evolved over time.
We talk about:
-
What we still love (and what we don’t)
-
The bands that meant the most
-
How Britpop feels now, decades later
-
Why some things are best left messy
It’s raw, nostalgic, sometimes critical—but always honest.
If Britpop ever meant something to you, this one’s for you.
