It’s the fashion
15/05/2026 | 55 mins.
The fashion scene and the music scene go hand in hand. Musical trends push fashion forward and fashion helps artists create identities and express themselves. In fact fashion helps us all express ourselves. It’s not surpriseing, then, that items of clothing sometimes make an appearance in song lyrics. This week all of our tracks are very well dressed.

News worthy
08/05/2026 | 55 mins.
While many songs are about timeless themes such as love, other songs can be very specific to the time and place where they were created. Like other artists, songwriters and musicians respond to what is happening around them – they hear the news and respond to current events. In the Seventies, this meant there were plenty of songs written about peace, social change and political resistance. On this weeks show we feature a small selection of songs responding to the news of the day.

How’s the weather where you are?
28/04/2026 | 55 mins.
Aaah the weather – the favourite subject of small talk, the topic of concern of farmers and walkers, and also the metaphor of choice for depicting a mood since time immemorial. It’s stormy weather, it’s raining in your heart, it’s a sunshiny day, and so on. Well here’s hoping that the sun comes out for all of you, our lovely listeners, while you enjoy our selection of Seventies tracks all about the weather.

The final frontier
20/04/2026 | 55 mins.
It’s been a great week for space exploration! The Artemis has circled around the moon and back and sent back some spectacular images. So we thought we would put together a little soundtrack of Seventies space themed songs for your celestial enjoyment.

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.
