Spice Invaders is an obsessive breakdown of the history of the Spice Girls and what they meant to the people who grew up with them. Join us each week as we chat through the evolution of the Spice Girls, from beginning to end.

Episode 1 coming September 20th✌️✨

We get into the very beginnings of the band we now know as The Spice Girls. Did they know each other since childhood, or were they made in a test tube? How many impromptu public performances do you need before you get a record deal? How and why were sex dolls involved? Listen and find out.

This time we talk about the girls' ascent to fame, how they got their names, and what "Girl Power" even means. This period is marked by issues long left in society's past: sexism, fatphobia, racism, and classism! Yay! Have a listen!

In this episode, we become VJs and discuss the release and videos of the singles "Wannabe", "Say You'll Be There", and "2 Become 1". We deep dive into the hidden meaning of 2 Become 1 and also talk about nipples.... a lot. Have we mentioned this podcast is for adult audiences only?

How much of a role did the media play in the Spice Girls' success? More than you might think. In this episode we talk about a series of would-be misses that turned into hits - including a declaration of affection for noted villain Margaret Thatcher, the debut of the ICONIC Union Jack dress, and more nipples.

Let's talk about scandals! We've touched on a few, but this episode hones in on the ones that made the girls especially grateful they had brought in reinforcements when it comes to the media. We also discuss the release of the singles and videos for Mama and Who Do You Think You Are.

We've been waiting to dive into this topic! As 6 girls who grew up in the 90s, Spice merch is inextricably linked to our memories of the band and our first baby steps into consumerism. We reminisce on our childhood treasures as well as discuss products we never knew existed (but wish we did!). And of course, we dig into the choice to make merch such a key part of the Spice Girls' and Fuller's strategy.

The girls start feeling the pressure as they work on their second album, film not one but TWO movies, do performances and press, and of course maintain their merch empire. In this episode we learn about the hidden meanings behind "Stop" and "Too Much" and get into the behind the scenes of this surprisingly dark period in Spice history.
