Sing That 90's Song! - 1

DNP pal Kendra and I are now putting our questionable music skills to the test - and inviting you to join us! I name the artist, and Kendra or I will sing a snippet by that artist. It's A LOT harder than it seems...

Episode 258 - Ace of Base

Ace of Base was a smash success, and the 3rd biggest group to come from Sweden. Jenny Berggren from the group is here, and I am honoured. We talk about Christian faith, teaching, Swedish pop music, food, and ice hotels, navigating sudden meteoric fame, the American Music Awards and Billboard Awards experiences, Roxette, ABBA, touring Canada, fashion, and more.

Episode 257 - The Arsenio Hall Show

Let's get busy!

My podcast pals Milo & Jamie from "The 80's and 90's Uncensored Podcast" are back. The Arsenio Hall Show was a pop culture phenomenon that was on the air for 5 years, breaking new ground in the talk show world. We talk about top guest moments and events, The Posse, The Dogg Pound, the revival, things that make you go hmmmm..., and the trials of being a night owl. 

Episode 256 - Milli Vanilli

One of the largest controversies in the 90's was the lipsynching scandal of Milli Vanilli. Rob & Fab were hugely successful artists, until it was revealed that they didn't sing on their album. This happened 35 years ago this week!

Andrew and Matt from Top Track Podcast are here to discuss the topic I have waited to do forever! Was producer Frank Farian a villain, or a smart businessman? Who did Milli Vanilli beat for that Grammy? Would this even BE a scandal in 2025? We also share their attempts to prove themselves with their second album, and share some love and respect for Fab Morvan today, as he carries the torch with grace and class, reviving their name and image.

Episode 255 - All-4-One

Delious Kennedy, one fourth of R&B supergroup All-4-One was a blast to talk to! He shared about his talk show, "Flashback Tonight", going to The Grammys and winning Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1995, touring Asia, starring on the TV show "Family Matters", the "I Love The '90's Tour", and solo work!

Episode 254 - The 27 Club / Tribute to the 90's Toronto Blue Jays

Good friends of DNP Jo & Andrew are back with some sweet tidbits for you. Naomi has failed, and done no research for this episode!

Jo celebrates the legendary Toronto Blue Jays of 1992-1993, as we head into the World Series. Such an incredible presentation - no Powerpoint needed.

Andrew shares the list of artists lost at the age of 27. We discuss the pitfalls of fame, and whether these losses are a result of excess, drugs, suicide, or fate. Why is 27 significant?

We also have some hot, controversial takes on Metallica!

Episode 253 - Tasmin Archer

UK singer/songwriter Tasmin Archer is here! Her hit "Sleeping Satellite" gained her international recognition and a Brit Award in 1992-1993. Tasmin has new music, and dropped her new album "A Cauldron of Random Notes" in September. With her rich voice and raw talent, it's a pleasure to have her on the podcast!

Episode 252 - The Funky Bunch are BACK!

DJ-T! Hector the Booty Inspector! Scottie Gee! They are all here, the World Famous ORIGINAL Funky Bunch. Terry, Scott, and Hector are back. We talk about the origin of the group, the new book and new music, with a HUGE twist on "Good Vibrations" that will get everyone talking! Hector's visit on the game show "To Tell The Truth", Lolita Holloway, Arsenio Hall, the production of the debut album "Music For The People", and all the good things they have coming your way.

Episode 251 - Lilith Fair

In the late 90's, Sarah McLachlan was fed up with radio and promoters saying you couldn't put 2 female artists back-to-back in airplay, or together on tour. She changed all of that with the invention of Lilith Fair. 

Bree Noble, the creator of Women of Substance Radio Podcast AND Female Entrepreneur  Musician is my guest to cover the days of the all-female music festival. Was the name controversial? Notable artists who took part, The 3 stages concept, the new documentary, the naysayers, when TOOL applied to join the tour, and who would headline a modern day Lilith Fair?

The 250th Episode

To celebrate a huge milestone, Naomi gathered podcast friends Kendra, Rebecca, Jo, Greg, Andrew, Jimmy, and Niskers to share some ridiculous and fun memories from the 90's. Now we have so many questions.

Will Naomi share the lyrics to her girl group song "Jordan"?

Will Jimmy play the Dallas theme on the trumpet?

Will Rebecca get a creepy doll whose eyes don't close properly?

Will Jo go on a marathon night with the Barenaked Ladies?

Will Greg figure out "Skinamarinkydinkydink"?

Will Kendra go to a drive-in movie theatre?

Would Andrew enter a ball pit?

Plus we share our 90's photos, which you can follow along with on our Facebook and IG accounts to see while you listen, or watch the broadcast on our YouTube channel!

We start the campaign to ask Donnie Wahlberg to be a guest on the show. #DonnieOnDNP

Let us know who you think is drunk by the end of this stupidly long episode!
