SCREEEEAAM it's a Boyband Special! Obviously here at TGPL we give each girl group their own episode but for the boys, I thought we could just cover them all in one! (Sorry lads.) Longtime pop fan Helen takes me back to the 90s and 00s as she counts down her Top 10 boybands of all time, and we select our favourite members and tracks from each one. As always, we have all the usual bits, plus of course my Mam is back with her thoughts on all things boyband. Enjoy!

Grab some brown rice, vegetables and an Evian (or some Doggy Chow if you'd prefer) and settle in for a celebration of all things SHOWGIRLS. Joel from the iconic Right Back At Ya! podcast joins me to talk about his love for the film, its incomparable leading lady and his favourite quotes and moments - plus we bring up Grease 2 as much as humanly possible. But that's not all! Our Girls Aloud correspondent Cliff returns to discuss the big reunion, and Sebastian is back too for a Big Brother post-season review. It must be weird not having anyone come on your podcast, so I'm glad I have three guests this time - plus, of course, my Mam! Enjoy!

We're getting semi-festive for our Christmas Special in episode 21 as we discuss all things S Club 7, only occasionally getting derailed slightly by mine and my friend Paul's long-standing... support (?) for one member in particular. We go over the group's career and discuss our favourite singles, album tracks and b-sides - including one all-time Christmas classic. Plus as always we chat about other pop culture bits in TGPL News, give our Recommendations, and of course my Mam is back with her S Club thoughts and a festive message. Enjoy, and Happy Christmas!

It's episode TWENTY and although we don't acknowledge the passing of time, I thought we should mark this anniversary with another Mariah moment!
