  • COVID-19 Update

    A little COVID-19 update for Country Down Under, the podcast that introduces you to Australian country music one artist at a time. It's a bit of a sad update, Tam tries to feel their feelings and Amy is in denial. Our lovely Amy has had to fly back to the UK so we will be switching to remote recording. This means that there could be a delay between some episodes as Amy flies back and we organise equipment. We'll try to keep this delay as short as possible. We'll talk to you soon dear listeners!
