À propos de ce contenu audio
Having grown up largely in the analog era, Frank and Gaz refine their use of the podcast technology (so this episode sounds a lot better!). And having smashed through the digital ceiling, they were able to dive more deeply into the 'lucky land' (Cold Chisel's reference to Donald Horne's 1964 book 'The Lucky Country'. They canvass what the Beatles would have encountered upon arrival in June 1964. Expect discussion of gender, the ‘six o’clock swill’, the ‘white Australia policy’, and Australians’ dedication to god, queen and the motherland. And this episode breaks new ground - in a global first, they reveal details on a planned operation by Australian authorities to have the Beatles help promote migration by meeting some Liverpudlians that had settled downunder and 'a few interesting and attractive young immigrants from the Continent'. They also consider a worrying plot by New Zealand shearers to crop the mop tops. (Thanks to Arts Centre Melbourne and the Department of Home Affairs to access to historical documents on migration).
