- What's Not to Like!!??
This podcast should be massive. It's like eavesdropping on a pub conversation between three funny but informed old friends discussing the music you love, and introducing you to the stuff you missed if you weren't lucky enough to be a young Australian in the 80s (Johnny Warman, Deckchairs Overboard). So find an episode on your fave band, and give it a spin. You won't regret it.

Great podcast. Slowing down a bit with the episodes lately but still get excited when a new one pops up in the feed. Always great to find out new bits of information about each of the bands when listening in. Would love to hear an episode covering The Sound. Another band similar to joy division whose lead singer wrote about deeply personal subject matter

Australia2 years ago - Reely great
Where else could you find an interview with Craig from the Reels! These guys know their music and if you’re of ‘a certain age’, this is the poddy for you.
Apple Podcasts5PasfrightwigAustralia2 years ago - Witty and informative
Thoroughly enjoying this podcast. 3 key factors for me are their musical backgrounds, their having discovered these bands in real time, and the fact they are from Australia. As an American who didn’t start blowing my allowance on Import 12”
before 1984 it’s interesting to see things through a different lense. Plus the camaraderie they obviously share makes them guys you want to hang out with!
