People Want Ducks

We're back with more from Tony Martin! In this second part of our conversation, we discuss the music, management, ratings, and Matt comes clean with a confession about an outage which knocked out Get This in Brisbane for a day — shocking horror, another cover up? We also debunk some myths, and hear Tony's thoughts on how long Get This might have continued on for had it not been for the thugs in the scallop industry.

You asked, we (well, Natalie) delivered: Tony Martin! In this first part of our interview with him, we discuss how Get This came to be, starting with Tony's time on Tough Love and how he caught the eye of Peter Harvie (not the guy from Canberra), and the first few months of the show. There's much more to come, so stay tuned to the People Want Ducks podcast!

We had so much material for our music special, we're flipping the record over: these are the B-Sides. Tyler Jenke is back with us. Steven comes up with more "creative" grabs. We look at Tony, Ed and Richard's Beatles impersonations and ask, was Peter Cundall in the Beatles? Matt meets John Jarrett. Natalie visits Paul McCartney in Rome, and gives us a preview of her new career in crunk. We look back at the music trivia smackdown between Alan Brough and Richard. More Dave Graney, more insights into music on played on Triple M, Kavaloke, concert experiences, and don't worry, we didn't forget this time: Is It Silverchair? And Nick Langdon is back again, hopefully providing his review from a sunken conversation pit.

It's all about the music for episode 7, and who else could we have on People Want Ducks to discuss this but Get This' resident musician, Dave Graney! We dive deep into Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, The Knack, Kathy Fire, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Mt Gambier and statues for famous residents, Dirty Three and Warren Ellis' vendetta on Billy Joel, Aldo Ray, rare 45's, Alan Partridge, Name That Tune, Dave's appearance on Neighbours, and much much more. We're also joined by Tyler 'The Jenk' Jenke, who takes us through a deep dive into all the music ever played on Get This. If you're data buff, you'll love this.

We also revisit stories from Lisa the Goth, Robyn Hitchcock, Anton Corbijn, Tim Rogers, Jimmy Barnes, Weird Al, Marty Sheargold, and Angus Sampson. And from the archives we hear from Alan Brough and Josh Pike about music videos and programming on Rage. We also take a few minutes to celebrate Damien Lovelock's time on the show, and of course Nick Langdon is back, taking his movie review up to 11.

This massive episode includes many great musical moments from Get This, so if you're a fan of new romantics, pirate pants and flatbed trucks, you'll want to join us.

We're back for a new year, and a new year of Get This! On this hallowed day — the 20th anniversary of the first episode of Get This — Steven, Matt and Natalie dive deep into the first few weeks of 2007, where the 2 hour format came from, and the search for a sponsor. We also take a deep dive into early 2007 drama, where Tony goes head to head with Triple M management on the music variety. More importantly though, we're also joined by Get This' 5th Beatle Greg Fleet! We reminisce about Jumperpants (aka Das Jümperpanten), Delivery Man 2, getting pushed off or stabbed off, and much more. And as always Nick Langdon is back, this time bringing us the finest wines available to humanity.
