Science and Peace

Show broadcast Nov 9 2025

It’s international science and peace week. Yes, there is a week for that. So on today’s show, all of our songs are about science or peace. Was a bit too much of an ask to find a song about both, sadly, but taken together I think we have the theme covered.

All the animals
18/01/2026 | 55 mins.
Show broadcast Nov 2 2025

It’s a menagerie in here! Yes this week all of our tracks have some kind of animal in the title. Furred, clawed, scaled and winged, animals make their way into songs – often as metaphors – just as much as the weather and the environment.

Getting daggy with it
18/01/2026 | 55 mins.
Show broadcast Oct 26 2025

The Seventies had some truly great music. Music that has stood the test of time and sounds as relevant and fresh today as it did 50 years ago. However, not all of it was good, or still sounds relevant, or fresh. Some of it, played now, just sounds daggy. But some of the daggy stuff is our secret guilty pleasure. Well, not so secret after this show.

Who’ll stop the rain?

Show broadcast Oct 19 2025

This week we’re getting a little bit wet. It’s Spring, and it’s been a bit rainy in some parts of the country. So we thought we would play some tracks all about the rain.

Gone solo
18/01/2026 | 55 mins.
Show broadcast Oct 12 2025

On this week’s show we are playing tracks from artists who went solo after being known for being in a band. Many of them became much more well known after striking out on their own. Perhaps they felt constrained by having to compromise with others, perhaps they felt that their talent didnt have room to truly shine. Whatever the reason, we are certainly glad they took the risk,

About Living in the 70s

Were you born in the Seventies? Join us for the sounds of the 70s every Saturday morning. Martin and Venetia will take you to the decade of denim flares, burnt orange kitchen bench tops and the birth of disco and glam rock! Each week we’ll have a 70’s theme that we’ll explore, such as songs from disaster movies, movement anthems, one hit wonders, daggy duets, funky numbers, and disco tracks that steamed up the dance floor in many an LGBTI venue, to name just a few. The 70s produced some amazing music and we’re here to make sure that music is shared and never lost. NOTE: Due to music licencing requirements this podcast is unavailable outside of Australia.
