Martin Deeson Unloaded is the new podcast from Loaded founding team member and star writer Martin Deeson, interviewing the characters who made the 1990s the unforgettable decade it was. Deeson sits down with the musicians, comedians, photographers, models, DJ's, actors and mischief-makers who lived through the decade that forgot to say: “No thank you, I think I’ll have a quiet night in.” These are stories from the last great pre-social-media era — when what happened on tour stayed on tour.

Irvine Welsh: Trainspotting, Oasis & the 90s Greatest Party

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

vendredi 13 mars 2026 • Durée 01:02:16

What really happened when Trainspotting exploded and suddenly the author was partying with Oasis at the height of Britpop?

Irvine Welsh joins Martin Deeson to talk about fame, the chaos of the 1990s, and the single greatest party he ever witnessed.

Episode Summary

When Trainspotting became the defining novel and film of a generation, Irvine Welsh found himself at the centre of the cultural storm that was the 1990s.

In this episode of Martin Deeson Unloaded, Irvine looks back on the era when literature, music and nightlife collided - from the rise of Oasis and the Britpop explosion to the surreal experience of sudden global fame.

Along the way he tells the story of the Trainspotting launch party at the Cannes Film Festival – and reflects on how that decade shaped, and continues to shape, the people who lived through it.

In this episode we talk about:

What it felt like when Trainspotting suddenly became a cultural phenomenon
The 1990s party culture that surrounded Britpop and Oasis
Irvine’s memory of the most epic party he ever attended
How the wild energy of the 90s still echoes through culture today
How taking DMT live on camera turned him from an atheist into… something more mysterious.

If you lived through the decade – or wish you had – this conversation captures the madness, creativity and excess of the 1990s from someone who was right in the middle of it.

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 2 avril 2026 • Durée 45:47

In the 1990s, Kathy Lloyd was everywhere.

As three time Page Three Model of the Year she was one of the most recognisable faces in Britain - appearing in the country’s biggest newspaper and Loaded magazine.

Then she disappeared from the media spotlight for twenty years.

Until now.

Episode Summary

In this rare interview, Martin Deeson talks to Kathy Lloyd about fame, media culture and the surreal world surrounding the rise of Loaded magazine in the 1990s.

Kathy recalls what it was like becoming a national sex symbol almost overnight, the strange experiences that came with Page Three fame, and the madness of touring with Loaded magazine - with Bez from the Happy Mondays.

But the conversation also looks beyond the headlines.

Kathy reflects on the reality behind the glamour, how that era shaped her life, and how she views the culture of the 1990s today.

It’s a funny, honest and occasionally revealing conversation about one of the most extraordinary periods in British media history.

Kathy Lloyd discusses:

What life was really like as a Page Three star in the 1990s

Brandon Block: From Ibiza Chaos to Recovery

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 54:38

He was the wildest man in 90s club culture - and by his own admission, probably would’ve “won the World Cup of caning.

"I realised I was more scared of living without drugs than I was of dying with them.”

In this raw, funny and unexpectedly moving conversation, Martin Deeson sits down with legendary DJ Brandon Block - the man synonymous with Ibiza, excess, and one of the most extreme lifestyles of the 1990s.

But this isn’t just a chance to tell war stories.

It’s a deep dive into addiction, recovery, dopamine, modern anxiety - and what happens when the party stops.

How Brandon went from Ibiza icon to 28 grams of cocaine a day
The moment he realised: “I can’t live like this anymore”
Why addiction isn’t about substances — it’s about behaviour and dopamine
The truth about anxiety: “It won’t kill you — but it will test you”
The power of empathy — and how it shaped both his DJ career and his recovery work
Why Gen X might be uniquely struggling in the modern world

Ibiza, spirituality, and the strange magic of that era

Jenny Eclair: The Original 90s Ladette Looks Back

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 42:39

When people talk about 90s ladettes, they usually think of Sara Cox, Denise Van Outen or Zoe Ball. But before them came Jenny Eclair: PVC-clad, vodka in one hand and fag in the other.

Before Jenny Eclair became a beloved comedy veteran, novelist, podcaster, artist and national treasure, she was one of the defining women of the 1990s: loud, filthy, funny, fearless, and right there at the start of the ladette era.

In this episode, she joins Martin Deeson to look back at when she was guest editor of Loaded, on winning the Perrier Award, on fame, hangovers, reinvention and the complicated legacy of a decade that was enormous fun – until it wasn’t.

Jenny Eclair is one of Britain’s most distinctive comic voices: the first woman to win the Perrier Award, star of Grumpy Old Women, author of novels and memoirs, podcaster, performer, and one of the few people who can talk about shame, sex, ageing, ambition. dog castration adverts and blow jobs in the same breath.

In this funny, filthy, sharp and surprisingly revealing conversation, Martin and Jenny revisit the 1990s from the inside: the Loaded years, the ladette label, the pressure to be outrageous, and the emotional bill that went with it.

In this episode:

Jenny remembers winning the Perrier Award – and why the morning after was anything but glamorous.
Martin and Jenny revisit her infamous guest-edit of Loaded magazine, including the bondage photo shoot in which she trussed him up like a chicken.
They discuss the original ladette era, why the word was both powerful and a millstone, and how much of it was performance.
Jenny reflects on being clever, funny, reckless, ambitious and sometimes deeply uncomfortable in the persona she had created.
Martin and Jenny talk about the Loaded live tour, lad culture, the BBC documentary, and where the magazine’s legacy became more complicated.
Jenny explains how she moved from PVC trousers and filthy stage persona to novels, Radio 4 monologues, Grumpy Old Women, podcasting and later-life reinvention.
They discuss ageing, family, work ethic, addiction, anxiety, writing, performance, and whether it is ever too late to do your best work.

Maria McErlane: The Fast Show, Eurotrash & Graham Norton

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 47:38

She narrated Eurotrash, starred in The Fast Show, and has spent thirty years sitting at the next table to everyone - Nigella, Graham Norton, Cilla Black, Salman Rushdie.

But Maria McErlane didn’t come on to drop celebrity names; she came on to talk about how to actually live, and somehow we ended up discussing the two bottles of morphine in her fridge.

Episode Summary:

Martin Deeson sits down with Maria McErlane - Fast Show star, the unmistakable voice of Eurotrash, actress, journalist, Agony Aunt, and Graham Norton’s comedy partner on Radio 2, Virgin Radio and their hit podcast Wanging On.

What starts as a tour through 90s comedy turns into one of the most quietly profound conversations of the series - on fame, mortality, ageing without bitterness, and finding the joy anyway.

Three things you’ll take from it: how to develop a thick skin in an age that’s lost the knack; why “death is not a life ended, it’s a life completed” might be the most useful thing you hear all year; and how the people who treat fame as a licence to be horrible (yes, that story) always end up the loneliest in the room.

In this episode:

How Maria landed The Fast Show - replacing Caroline Aherne, recruited by Mark Williams
“I’m Not Pissed,” “Suits you sir,” and the secret-alcoholic sketch
The voice of Eurotrash - 16 seasons of Jean-Paul Gaultier, Antoine de Caunes and refusing to be cruel about Lolo Ferrari
Why the women of 90s comedy were genuinely frightened of Loaded and James Brown’s mob
Being a woman on the 90s circuit alongside Jenny Eclair, Jo Brand and Hattie Hayridge
Her book Bumps in the Road - and why it’s a book of philosophy disguised as a showbiz memoir

John Niven: Oasis v Blur, Coldplay and Kill Your Friends

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 49:05

In 1997 a young A&R man at London Records opened the post and found demos from two unsigned bands called Coldplay and Muse. He listened, shrugged, and decided Britain did not need another Radiohead.

Episode Summary:

John Niven spent the 1990s inside the record industry at London Records and Independiente, and then turned all of it into Kill Your Friends, the novel that caught the decade's greed, cocaine and moral collapse better than anything else written about it.

In this episode he tells Martin Deeson about the demos he waved away, the American visitors his label laughed out of the building who turned out to be setting up Yahoo, the five broke years it took to become a novelist, the memoir he wrote about his brother's suicide, and why Oasis stitched themselves into the soul of the British people in a way Blur never could.

John Niven is the author of eleven novels including Kill Your Friends, The Second Coming, Straight White Male and The Fathers, and the memoir O Brother. His first stage play, The Battle, is about the 1995 Blur and Oasis chart war.

Three things you will get from this episode:

The best explanation you will hear of why Oasis became bigger than Blur, from the man who has written a play about that summer.

What it actually felt like inside a major record label at the peak of the money, from a man who was paid a fortune to be there and freely admits he was terrible at the job.

A working writer's account of how you get there: the discipline, the poverty, the seventeen rejections, and why the first draft of Kill Your Friends had to be thrown away.
