by Niall Bakewell
We all have an idea of what the fashion, art, music, cinema and TV of different decades was like, but what about those awkward years that end in zero?

This podcast series takes a deep dive into the popular culture of the 20th and 21st Centuries through the lens of the years that kick off the decades, or as we call them, The Zeroes. Hosted on Acast.
