Show Notes
This week’s theme features songs about different kinds of Media. It starts with The Beatles last number 1 single The Ballad of John And Yoko which John Lennon called a ‘piece of journalism’. This is followed up by our own Skyhooks and their take on the news with Horror Movie. One novelty song is The Coasters and their spoof on tv hero/villain shows Along Came Jones. Another is The Olympics and the fifties pre-occupation with westerns in Western Movies. Radio is prominent too – Queen’s Radio Ga Ga, Masters Apprentice’s Turn Up Your Radio and Indeep’s quirky Last Night A DJ Saved My Life.

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.
