Show Notes
This program features performers from Australia and New Zealand. Although all of the NZ performers re-located to Australia. The first band to make it big here was Split Enz with their first big hit My Mistake. Ex American singer Marcia Hines sings one of her big hits You. Two other ex New Zealanders to make it big were Max Merritt and his band the Meteors (Slipping Away) and mod dresser Dinah Lee (Reet Petite). An Aussie teams up with a Kiwi when Johnny Farnham performed a duet with Kiwi Allison Durbin (Baby Without You).

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.
