Welcome back to The Giddy Carousel of Pop, a podcast about the Britain’s brightest pop mag, Smash Hits.

In this episode we go back to December 1982 with musician Miki Berenyi (Lush, Piroshka) for a slice of life as a true pop kid! Along the way we discuss Tears For Fears, Madness, Culture Club, the results of the 1982 Smash Hits poll and a whole lot more! New York looms large throughout, but did Miki ever own a pair of legwarmers? Listen and find out!
