E9: Standing in Front of a Boy

E9.1 My Heart Will Go On

Emma and Chloe confront the ghosts of pretty boys past, in this episode where they look at white masculinity in the 1990s and its legacy. They explore the careers of Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Grant, and how their careers and reputations have survived into the present while others’ didn’t. They also consider the ‘grunge’ movement, and how claims for the dissolution of the boundaries between men and women, despite some success, also left many women behind.

Episode 8

In this episode, Emma and Chloe try to define what feminism meant in the 90s, through two of its icons: Hillary Clinton and … Jane Austen? They explore Hillary Clinton’s political career in the 1990s, and what her brand of feminism meant then, and means today. They then talk about the many, many Jane Austen adaptations made in the 90s, from Clueless to Bridget Jones’ Diary, how Class and Empire were lost from Austen, and how they might be revived today.

E7.1 Rio to Ruin

E7.2 Mr Vice President

E7.3 Captain Planet

On Valentine’s Day, 1990, we humans received a love letter from space. NASA’s Voyager 1 probe, from its position somewhere out past Neptune, turned around and took a picture of Earth, gifting us the iconic image that planetary scientist Carl Sagan would dub the ‘pale blue dot’. In this episode, Emma and Chloe ask why, when the decade opened with such promise for our little speck of dust in space, we didn’t see the progress the 1990s promised when it came to environmental protection. They discuss the failure of global negotiations, the role of Emma’s favourite almost-president and environmental activist Al Gore, and why all of us promising to be ‘Planeteers’ wasn’t ever going to be enough.

We have been captivated by Black Lives Matters protests of the past two weeks, which started in the USA and have quickly spread across the world. In this episode, Chloe and Emma talk about the toppling of statues of imperialists, slave traders and white supremacists in Britain and the USA, comparisons with German history and the remembrance of Germany’s Nazi past, and return to a question they’ve asked before on the podcast: is Trump’s America fascist?

This week, Chloe and Emma return to home shores to explore Australia in the 1990s. On the domestic front, Australia was led by three Prime Ministers: Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, and John Howard. They discuss the economic legacy of the Hawke/Keating era, and wonder if current debates about the enduring legacy of the Accords obscure the dramatic economic reforms pursued by the Howard Government. They discuss Keating’s efforts to further Aboriginal rights and the ensuing white backlash led by John Howard and Pauline Hanson.

E4.1: Killing in the Name

The end of the Cold War did not mean global peace. In this episode, Emma and Chloe talk about the US’ foreign policy, and how its interventions in foreign wars in the 1990s continue to shape the US’ global outlook today. They discuss the origins of the ideas of humanitarian warfare and liberal interventionism, and the US’ long history of foreign interventions; disasters in Somalia, Rwanda, and the former Yugoslavia; and the US ongoing debates about how, if it all, it can promote democracy outside its own borders.

3.3 Different Class

In this episode, Emma and Chloe cross the Atlantic, moving on from ‘New Democrats’ to talk about ‘New Labour’. The 90s in Britain were a time when politicians, princesses, and pop stars promised modernisation of tired, worn-out traditions. But looking back on Tony Blair’s rise and the tragic death of Princess Di suggests not all was well beneath the surface of ‘Cool Britannia’. Chloe then goes on to explain why, in her opinion, some of the best explanations of what was really happening in Britain in the 90s came, in fact, from culture.
