Did Punk and Grunge originate in Australia? I’ll let you be the judge. But they certainly had their roots in Australia. Michael is my oldest friend, the creator of the music in my podcasts, and a muso. So, I invited him on the show to talk about one of our favourite themes – Australian music. We talk about the culture of Australian music and how sleepy towns like Perth and Brisbane have gone on to shape music history across the world. We talk about our favourite bands and give you some pointers as to where to go if you want to listen to music to improve your English. We also discuss what it is like to be so “un-Australian” and to be born on Australia Day, as Michael is. If you love music, then this is another episode for you!
