Show Notes
It's all about the music for episode 7, and who else could we have on People Want Ducks to discuss this but Get This' resident musician, Dave Graney! We dive deep into Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, The Knack, Kathy Fire, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Mt Gambier and statues for famous residents, Dirty Three and Warren Ellis' vendetta on Billy Joel, Aldo Ray, rare 45's, Alan Partridge, Name That Tune, Dave's appearance on Neighbours, and much much more. We're also joined by Tyler 'The Jenk' Jenke, who takes us through a deep dive into all the music ever played on Get This. If you're data buff, you'll love this.
We also revisit stories from Lisa the Goth, Robyn Hitchcock, Anton Corbijn, Tim Rogers, Jimmy Barnes, Weird Al, Marty Sheargold, and Angus Sampson. And from the archives we hear from Alan Brough and Josh Pike about music videos and programming on Rage. We also take a few minutes to celebrate Damien Lovelock's time on the show, and of course Nick Langdon is back, taking his movie review up to 11.
This massive episode includes many great musical moments from Get This, so if you're a fan of new romantics, pirate pants and flatbed trucks, you'll want to join us.

More from People Want Ducks
We're back with the second part of our interview with Ed Kavalee! We dive deeper into the radio industry, Channel 9 stars, Ed's lookalikes, Ed's singing, Richard, Leigh Whannell and other celebrity guests, Cop This, and much much more. Also stay tuned at the end for an impromptu interview Natalie scored with a People Want Ducks fan.
In another coup for People Want Ducks, we've secured our movie reviewer Nick Langdon to join us on the podcast! Oh, and we also got Ed Kavalee too. Listen to how Ed got onto the show, his paneling skills and the fate of the pilot, his thoughts on Richard, his movie preferences, the KFC ad, Get This callers, flying helicopters indoors, and share houses. And was Ed's flatmate "John" really Ash Williams? Tune in to find out.
We're back with our third and final part of our conversation with Tony Martin! We talk about the "Save Get This" rally, the cancellation of the show and rumours about its possible continuation, including a potential TV project. We take a dive into movies and Nick Langdon's audit of all the films ever mentioned on Get This, and we "expose" Natalie to Shortbus. Politics, Richard Marsland, the legacy of Get This and more— Tony delivers more than just relief at the bowser.
We're back with more from Tony Martin! In this second part of our conversation, we discuss the music, management, ratings, and Matt comes clean with a confession about an outage which knocked out Get This in Brisbane for a day — shocking horror, another cover up? We also debunk some myths, and hear Tony's thoughts on how long Get This might have continued on for had it not been for the thugs in the scallop industry.
You asked, we (well, Natalie) delivered: Tony Martin! In this first part of our interview with him, we discuss how Get This came to be, starting with Tony's time on Tough Love and how he caught the eye of Peter Harvie (not the guy from Canberra), and the first few months of the show. There's much more to come, so stay tuned to the People Want Ducks podcast!
