Apologies for the delay, but we are back for PART 2 of 3 (yep, it’s our first 3 parter) of our Spice Girls “Spiceworld” journey. In this episode, Angie and Steffi break down the era!
To begin the episode, we read through some of our listener feedback. Again, thanks so much for sending in your thoughts!
In our Era Breakdown episodes, we touch on so many topics like career context, controversies/scandals of the era, marketing, music videos, live performances, album stats, and the album & era’s ultimate impact and legacy. For this episode, we talk about Spicemania and go through ALL the tea. Including: the Spice Girls being overworked, media/general public backlash, the firing of their manager Simon Fuller, Geri leaving, the aftermath of Geri leaving, and mental health/eating disorders. We also discuss the many theories as to why Geri TRULY left the Spice Girls (duh, duh, DUHHHHH). Grab your tea and hold onto your knickers, girls. This episode is SPICE-Y.
Again, this is part 2 of the conversation! So make sure you listen to part 1 where we discussed the album track by track. And stay tuned for the conclusion of our Spice Girls’ Spiceworld discussion in part 3.
