What Really Happened in the Nineties?

Omnibus 2

Duration: 57 minutes

Here we are in 2022 navigating cancel culture, Brexit, identity politics, war in Europe.

How did we get here? Did we miss something? Robert Carlyle is here to show us that we did. That the world we live in was shaped by the forgotten decade: the 1990s.

From Hong Kong to Iraq, Cool Britannia to 'No Frills' flights, we travel back in time to key moments in the '90s that reverberate today in unexpected ways.

In this Omnibus edition we hear a selection of this week's episodes
