Diving deep into all things ’90s. Not many images epitomise Britpop more than Suede’s Brett Anderson in front of a Union Jack with “Yanks go home!” emblazoned across his chest. Suede were not happy… but the readers of Select Magazine – the delinquent lovechild of Smash Hits and NME – loved it. In-your-face, colourful, and never taking itself too seriously, Select brought Oasis, Reeves & Mortimer, hip hop, The Prodigy, Blur DJ culture and crimplene trousers together an era-defining monthly celebration that was about much more than just Britpop. Former editor (and Miranda’s old boss) Andrew Harrison returns to summon up the glory days and explain how, without Select, we wouldn’t have the Glastonbury we have now. ⁠Support us on Patreon Follow us on: BlueSky Instagram TikTok Subscribe to our Spotify playlist • Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
