122: Streetmate with Muireann O’Connell

Juvenalia

Muireann O’Connell from off the telly joins us to talk about the CLASSIC late nineties reality dating show, Streetmate hosted by Davina McCall. It is an absolute trip going back to a pre-Big Brother and social media reality show where nobody knows all the rules of how to be on TV and we had a blast exploring it. We also had lots to say about turn of the century fashion like Hobo and Nope. And if the idea of Hobo and Nope being called Turn Of The Century Fashion made you feel a little bit sick then welcome to Juvenalia! Everything you like is old now and all your favs are problematic.

You can see Muireann on The Six O’Clock Show on Virgin Media One, follow her on instagram @muireann.o and find her excellent podcast Let’s Solve Nothing in all the podcast places.

Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now.

Juvenalia is a Tall Tales podcast. Thank you Cassie.

P.S. We recorded this episode before Davina’s incredibly misjudged comments about women’s safety and men’s mental health otherwise it definitely would have been discussed.
