Geoff is a journalist at a regional independent weekly newspaper and also a musician. After finding myself often engaged in long and detailed conversations with Geoff when we see each other in the shopping centre or in the street I thought I should get him on the podcast we talk about journalism, mass media, music and politics accompanied by his dog named Iggy Pup ........

After a trip to Vietnam in 2017 I found myself intrigued by the culture and the impact of the war. Especially when it came to the music scene. When lamenting the fact I had to delay my next visit from 2018 to 2019 I found myself searching on YouTube to explore Vietnamese contemporary music. I found a page by a gentleman who put up a compilation of music called "Vietnamese rock and soul" his name is Chris Tran and he is my guest for this episode . We really went off on some tangents .This is the first time I have used my phone to record a podcast on and I'm quite pleased by the memory filled up and the ending was cut off. This is another one that I'm enthusiastic to do a part 2 for . Hoping it will happen sooner than later. I gotta stop saying "like" so much.

This is a short one, just over half an hour. I'm talking to Pete.F.

We talk about the Surfie & Rocker gang fights and tribal dynamics of the 1960s, about some of the tribes and some of the places to go and dance the stomp. This is a fairly short one running less than 40 mins.

My guest is Jane

We talk about the life a travelling minstrel, going to clown school, the talent of the youth as well as early employment in a pharmacy and the process of dispensing condoms to customers in 1969.

Jane was a great guest that actually had me talking quite a bit about me. It took me a long time to edit this because I didn't anticipate divulging so much stuff about myself. In the end I had to let it go and get over it because that's why I'm doing this in the first place.

My guest is Anne Marie

We talk about the culture shock of moving from Adelaide to Sydney in 1972, missing out on seeing Kiss in New Zealand due to snail mail and finding out Bon Scott's Mum was the tea lady. The recording is a bit dodge in parts but those technical issues have been ironed out once and for all.....(hopefully)
