Speaker 1: Pushkin culture is moving fast, but its foundations are deep.
Speaker 1: I believe that to understand today, you need to understand
Speaker 1: the icons who built it. I'm Kyrie and.
Speaker 2: I'm a Manuel Jochi, and we're super excited to bring
Speaker 2: you big lives from BBC Studios and Pushkin Industries.
Speaker 1: Each week, we take one cultural icon and dive into
Speaker 1: the BBC's century deep vault of interviews, performances and forgotten
Speaker 1: tapes to rediscover the legends buried beneath the headlines.
Speaker 2: We're talking legends like Jane Fonda.
Speaker 1: Well, it's changing the system from the ground up. Is revolutionary.
Speaker 1: And then I'm revolutionary to.
Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali, I'm not just a box so I'm Edger Katie.
Speaker 1: I can talk all week on millions of subjects to
Speaker 1: Amy Winehouse and we.
Speaker 2: Want to go on stage.
Speaker 1: I like to stress as slutty as possible because it makes
Speaker 1: me dance. But for some reason, to George, there's someone
Speaker 1: standing there waving their genitals out.
Speaker 2: You don't think that they're an officer of the law.
Speaker 2: These icons are folks who too often become memes, punchlines,
Speaker 2: or a single photo that can't unsee.
Speaker 1: We go through over one hundred years of archive tape
Speaker 1: for the BBC to put the nuance back in. The contradictions,
Speaker 1: the jokes, the mistakes, the surprising bits, the gut lost and.
Speaker 2: The archive transports us. It keeps proving that these icons
Speaker 2: that we flattened into one liners, but they actually live
Speaker 2: these big, chaotic, brilliant lives.
Speaker 1: It's like a vicious circle. They love you, then they
Speaker 1: hate you, then they feel sorry for you said I
Speaker 1: love you again. Join us and learn how each legend
Speaker 1: sets the stage for today's culture.
