The Beatles: They Came to a Land Downunder
Frank and Gaz
12 episodes
2 days ago
Frank and Gaz take a cross-disciplinary deep dive into The Beatles 1964 tour of Australasia. They explore where The Beatles went, who they met, and their broader social impact. But they also look more deeply into the nature of the land downunder - culturally and socially - using the Beatles as their point of departure. Expect some unexpected turns like discussion of Taylor Swift’s 2024 tour vis-a-vis the 1964 Beatles tour, connections to Ancient Rome and the classical era, feminist perspectives on the band and its history, and a rarely heard ABC (Australia) interview with John Lennon.

Episode 5: There's a Place

In There’s a Place, Frank and Gaz hit the pavements in search of residual traces of the places downunder where the Beatles stayed, played and partied with locals (What does the rush to redevelop these places tell us about Australia in the 1960s?). Inspired by the true crime podcast genre, our hosts uncover the shady circles within which they mixed in Sydney's ‘Sin City’. In Melbourne, Gaz gathers near definitive unscientific proof of the survival of the London plane trees that supported Beatles fans seeking a view of the fab four on the balcony of the legendary Southern Cross hotel. Frank assesses the symbolism of George’s sidetrip to meet family friends in Mt Taylor, Auckland for a meal of poached eggs and tomato sauce. (Mentioning Taylor Swift didn't seem to help the SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) last episode but we will try again.)
