FLASHBACK FRIDAY | Melbourne 100 years ago


Listen Later

Jess takes Sam back to 1920s Melbourne, where “meet me under the clocks” already meant Flinders Street Station and the city practically shut down on Sundays.

They dive into the boom of Bourke Street department stores, the rise of flapper fashion and the shift towards more androgynous styles, before heading to the “Paris end” of Collins Street.

Plus, the pair explore what Melburnians were listening to, from the rise of radio to jazz-filled dance halls and nights out at Circus Olympia, before comparing it all to how we experience music now.

Presenters: Sam Kelly and Jessica Djendria

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour and Sam Kelly
