About this episode

1992: The year of big-butt anthems, achy-breaky hearts, and Madonna’s Sex book. The year that Boyz II Men and Whitney Houston shattered records, while U2 and TLC confronted the AIDS crisis head-on. The year that introduced us to grunge, G-funk, and Right Said Fred. In this podcast, we look back at the massive hits, one-hit wonders, and irresistible scandals that shaped the wildest, most eclectic, most controversial 12 months of music ever. Featuring interviews with critics, chart obsessives, industry bigwigs, and the artists themselves.
