4. Connection: The Rise of Lad Culture

As Britpop and lad culture became intertwined, did this heady
relationship do a disservice to the women behind the music?


30 years on from Britpop, Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq take a trip
back to the 90s to reassess the scene’s relationship with sex and
gender. From the front covers of lads mags, to music videos, they
delve into the day to day experiences of many band members.


Featuring new and archive interviews with Louise Wener, Shirley
Manson, Miki Berenyi and Justine Frischmann, Episode 4 of The
Rise and Fall of Britpop highlights the barriers women faced and
celebrates the trails they blazed across the decade.
