The Beatles: They Came to a Land Downunder
Frank and Gaz
12 episodes
1 day 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 8: Meet the Beatles for Real (or 'With the Beatles')

Frank and Gaz go long and deep on the question of who got to meet the Beatles 'for real' in Australasia and beyond. In navigating the sensitive theme of sex and rock 'n' roll, they return to classical roots in the writing of Petronius, Ovid and Apuleius. Informed by these texts and the more recent 'Sex and the Beatles: 400 entries', they ask whether Beatles lyrics from 1963-64 suggest less innocent themes. Are there power games at play? And when John Lennon compared the tour to Satyricon, did he have in mind scopophilia?
