Episode Description

Diving deep into all things ’90s… It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for. We present to you, Princess of Pop, ultimate gay icon, international treasure… Kylie. She kicked off the decade with Michael Hutchence on her arm – a masterclass in shaking off your good girl past – before diving into the world of indie via Nick Cave, the Manics, the Poetry Olympics, and a series of identity-shifting haircuts. There were highs, and there were definitely lows. Indie Kylie left the fans wanting, and the death of Michael Hutchence closed the door on one of the most important chapters of her life. But the millennium – and those gold hotpants – heralded a comeback like no other. Today we are talking ALL things Kylie, and who better to lead us than the fabulous Michael Cragg: returning Talk ’90s guest, journalist, Kylie fanatic and author of Can't Get You Out of My Head: In Search of Kylie, out on September 24th.
