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 7: Meet the Marsupials

In Episode 7 (Meet the Marsupials), Frank and Gaz explore the soft power of the Australian native animal and their interactions with the Beatles downunder and a litany of other stars like Taylor Swift. Our hosts interview the world's leading expert on the endangered Palm Cockatoo (from Far North Queensland) and similarities in its drumming styles with those of Ringo. And they ask - why has everyone here named their pets Ringo? They also explore the cultural significance of an iconic Australian TV show about a genius kangaroo and how it has advanced relations with countries ranging from the US to Iran!
