The Beatles: They Came To A Land Downunder

Podcast: The Beatles: They Came To A Land Downunder
Hosts: Frank and Gaz
Category: Music
Sub-Category: Music History
First Episode: 2024

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.
