This is the last episode of Season 2 and we are going out with a banger: Britain in the 1990s. We talk about the music, films, television and sports that made this decade so special. We look into how the country earned the term 'cool Britannia' and we share our experiences of the major events like the death of Lady Diana. We are certainly not historians or experts, we simply want to share our memories and experiences with you.

The 1990s were a special time in Britain and today Annie & I share our childhood memories from the decade. From landlines and Nokia 3210s to Blockbuster video and making mixtapes, we cover the little things that made the 90s such a unique period of time. It's a light-hearted chat about that makes for great listening practice if you are learning English.
