Episode 4: Beatles promoter pulls a swifty

Episode 4: Beatles promoter pulls a swifty

In episode 4, Frank and Gaz explore what the Beatles might have understood about Australia and where they went during the tour. They also shamelessly seek to boost their followers by drawing long bows between the Taylor Swift 2024 tour of Australia and that of the Beatles sixty years earlier. Our hosts uncover a long-lost interview by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) with John Lennon but can't afford to put much of it on air. They identify the Gold Coast promoter who couldn't secure local interest in the Beatles earlier in 1963. And they reveal efforts by members of the public, pub owners, band managers and even young Holden drivers to attract the Beatles to their local town. Finally, our hosts get serious in exploring fears that the nations' youth had succumbed to the sort of hysteria associated with war-time Germany.
