Show Notes
Protest
In this week’s program Rob is joined by guest presenter, Rachel. The theme is different kinds of protest songs. Two icons of the folk protest era are Bob Dylan (Masters Of War) and Joan Baez (What Have They Done To The Rain?). Barry Maguire sings his 1960s nihilistic hit Eve Of Destruction while Don Fardon sings about the lament of the American Indians with the poignant Indian Reservation. A pro feminist song way before its time is LGBTIQA+ singer Lesley Gore with You Don’t Own Me. Aussie protest songs are well represented by Redgum’s heart wrenching I Was Only Nineteen, Goanna’s classic protest about indigenous land rights Solid Rock and Midnight Oil’s iconic Beds Are Burning.

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.
