Show Notes
Directions
This week we take you on all different kinds of Directions. First we travel to New Orleans with Freddy Cannon (Way Down Yonder In New Orleans). Then we go north to Alaska with Johnny Horton (North To Alaska) and west to Virginia with Neil Sedaka (Wheeling West Virginia). Female singers Toni Fisher (West Of The Wall), Joan Baez (The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down) and Patti Page (Left Right out Of Your Heart) take us in different directions. While in Australia Men At Work go Down Under and Billy Thorpe soars Over The Rainbow.

Pop songs from the ANTIPODES (Australia and New Zealand) span decades of iconic chart toppers, indie pop gems and alternative rock. This week’s episode includes the four time grammy winner Olivia Newton John with Xanadu, New Zealand’s art pop group Split Enz with their melodic I Hope I Never. Allison McCallum’s Superman and Max Merritt and the Meteors’ Western Union Man are also great artists from across the Tasman. Mental as Anything’s debut song The Nips are Getting Bigger, Kamahl’s The Sounds of Goodbye along with the Go Betweens and Christie Allen serve as Australian representatives.
In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
