Ep 147: Tana Douglas

What goes on tour stays on tour - unless you're the the first woman roadie in the world At just fifteen, Tana Douglas ran away to the circus that was rock 'n' roll in the 1970s, taking a job with a young and upcoming band called AC/DC. While still a teenager she headed to the UK and later the US to work for a who's who of bands and artists. Life on the road was exhilarating, hard work, occasionally surreal but never dull, particularly when you're the only woman in the road crew and the #metoo movement is still 40 years away.

Whether wrangling Iggy Pop across Europe, climbing trusses while seven months pregnant, drinking shots of JD with Bon Scott backstage at Wembley, or donning a tailor-made suit to do lights for Elton at Windsor Castle, Tana did it all.

Loud is rock 'n' roll like you've never seen it before, by a woman who not only survived the all-male world on the road but climbed to the top and lived to tell the tale. Tana joins our editors to talk about it all and more.

Ep 238- Tim Elliott

Ep 238- Tim Elliott

Cults were big in the 80s… Some people thought they may have thinned out after the invention of the internet. This is not the case. This week, the editors interview the award winning journalist and author Tim Elliott about his new true crime podcast: Inside The Tribe. This series investigates a very peculiar cult that that exists just south of Sydney, the Twelve Tribes. Tim and his co-writer Camille Bianchi follow two members, Mark and Rose through their 15-year ordeal with the highly religious and exploitative group - and documented their final escape. https://omny.fm/shows/inside-the-tribe/playlists/podcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
