August 14, 2026 Deadheads, Unsung Heroes and Don Walker’s Love Songs

August 07, 2026 Rock Quiz, Ride or Die and the Fight for Artists’ Rights
Episode 35 of On The Record begins where last week’s conversation left off: with Glen Hansard.
Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie watch the Irish singer-songwriter’s funeral, a ceremony that made plain the depth of affection held for the Frames frontman, Once star and inveterate musical collaborator.
Mackenzie was especially struck by the accounts of Hansard’s generosity, the presence of his battered, road-worn guitars in the church band, and the closing performance of Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young”.
From there, the mood shifts to the Espy, where Mackenzie joined the winning team at the latest live Rock Quiz.

July 31, 2026 A Farewell to Glen, a Cult-Rock Classic and a Second Look at The Odyssey
Episode 34 of On The Record opens in sombre territory, with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie remembering Glen Hansard, the Irish singer-songwriter, Frames frontman and Once star who died aged 56 following a motorcycle accident outside Dublin.
Hansard’s career stretched back to the formation of The Frames in 1990, before his work with Markéta Irglová as The Swell Season, and a substantial solo catalogue. But it is the memory of his live shows that looms largest here.
Wise recalls a performer who gave audiences everything, including the habit of leading crowds from the venue and into the street for impromptu singalongs. Hansard’s concerts, he says, had the uncommon ability to turn a room full of strangers into a temporary community.

July 24, 2026 Plas Johnson, Free Bluegrass and Christopher Nolan’s Trojan Horse
The episode opens with the passing of saxophonist Plas Johnson, 94, a player whose name might not mean much outside musician circles but whose sound is embedded in popular culture.
Johnson’s cool, slinking work on Henry Mancini’s Pink Panther theme is his best-known contribution, but the wider CV is properly formidable: Frank Sinatra, B.B. King, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville all appear on the roll call.

July 17, 2026 Ep 32: A new Stones record, remembering Sam and Bob Dylan’s guitarist carousel
There are few things more reliable in popular culture than a World Cup penalty shootout inspiring arguments about fairness, a Rolling Stones album being handled carefully, or Bob Dylan inspiring precisely no usable information from anyone who has worked with him.
Episode 32 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie covers all three, plus a handy mid-year listening list, a salute to two much-loved cultural figures, and Daniel Lanois production lore.

July 10, 2026 Ep 31: Spielberg’s Aliens, Icelandic Jazz and a Thousand Gramophones
Episode 31 of On The Record ranges from Spielberg’s latest extraterrestrial spectacle to Icelandic cocktail jazz, via Australian festival programming, political songwriting, BBC football commentary and the fragile magic of shellac records.
It is a wide-ranging conversation, but not a random one. Beneath the digressions sits a recurring question: what makes art endure when fashion, technology and attention spans keep moving on?

July 03, 2026 Hourly Daily Turns 30: Tim Rogers looks back without living in the past
There are plenty of artists happy to spend their careers polishing yesterday's trophies. Tim Rogers isn't one of them.
Appearing on Episode 30 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie, the You Am I frontman could easily have spent an hour reminiscing about the band's landmark 1996 album Hourly Daily, now celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Instead, Rogers repeatedly steers the conversation back towards what comes next.
That restless curiosity becomes the defining thread running through one of the podcast's most engaging interviews.

June 26, 2026 Neil Young, James Joyce and The Big Lebowski: Andy White's wonderfully unpredictable road trip
Now and then, On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie wanders into territory that feels less like a podcast and more like the best conversation you've accidentally joined in the corner of a music festival bar.
Returning Australian listeners may be forgiven for assuming Neil Young devotees are a niche tribe. Not so, according to Belfast singer-songwriter Andy White, who drops in from Ireland with a story that sounds almost too good to be true.

June 18, 2026 From Kefalonia to California: Earth, Wind & Fire, World Cup Fever, and Bob Dylan’s wisdom at 80
Episode 28 of On The Record finds Michael broadcasting from the Greek island of Kefalonia, but the conversation itself travels much further afield—from the cosmic ambitions of Earth, Wind & Fire to Tim Rogers, the World Cup and the lyrical reflections of Bob Dylan on being 80.

June 12, 2026 The Charts Are Broken, Wilco Is Pricey, and Squeeze Still Don’t Like Each Other (But the Songs Hold Up)
This week’s On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie begins where most music chats don’t: with a gripe about what the ARIA charts don’t show.
Wise is baffled that Emma Donovan’s Take Me to The River—an album he rates highly after seeing her preview it live at Port Fairy—can’t be found on the main chart or the Australian chart.
The question isn’t aesthetic; it’s structural. Where do “successful” albums live now—physical sales, streaming equivalents, store reporting, some opaque blend of all three?
