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?
Do these years belong to the decade to come - or the one just gone?
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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How did Cheers become Frasier? How did Stavros give birth to The Fast Show? How hot was Jerry Seinfeld? And who the fuck was Stretchy McGillicuddy?
Most importantly, how did Twin Peaks change television forever?
