    Rock Quiz, Ride or Die and the Fight for Artists’ Rights

    07/08/2026 | 36 mins.
    Episode 35 of On The Record begins where last week’s conversation left off: with Glen Hansard. 

    Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie watch the Irish singer-songwriter’s funeral, a ceremony that made plain the depth of affection held for the Frames frontman, Once star and inveterate musical collaborator.

    Mackenzie was especially struck by the accounts of Hansard’s generosity, the presence of his battered, road-worn guitars in the church band, and the closing performance of Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young”. 

    From there, the mood shifts to the Espy, where Mackenzie joined the winning team at the latest live Rock Quiz.

    A Farewell to Glen, a Cult-Rock Classic and a Second Look at The Odyssey

    31/07/2026 | 45 mins.
    Episode 34 of On The Record opens in sombre territory, with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie remembering Glen Hansard, the Irish singer-songwriter, Frames frontman and Once star who died aged 56 following a motorcycle accident outside Dublin.

    Hansard’s career stretched back to the formation of The Frames in 1990, before his work with Markéta Irglová as The Swell Season, and a substantial solo catalogue. But it is the memory of his live shows that looms largest here. 

    Wise recalls a performer who gave audiences everything, including the habit of leading crowds from the venue and into the street for impromptu singalongs. Hansard’s concerts, he says, had the uncommon ability to turn a room full of strangers into a temporary community.

    Plas Johnson, Free Bluegrass and Christopher Nolan’s Trojan Horse

    24/07/2026 | 46 mins.
    The episode opens with the passing of saxophonist Plas Johnson, 94, a player whose name might not mean much outside musician circles but whose sound is embedded in popular culture. 

    Johnson’s cool, slinking work on Henry Mancini’s Pink Panther theme is his best-known contribution, but the wider CV is properly formidable: Frank Sinatra, B.B. King, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville all appear on the roll call.

    Ep 32: A new Stones record, remembering Sam and Bob Dylan’s guitarist carousel

    17/07/2026 | 37 mins.
    There are few things more reliable in popular culture than a World Cup penalty shootout inspiring arguments about fairness, a Rolling Stones album being handled carefully, or Bob Dylan inspiring precisely no usable information from anyone who has worked with him.

    Episode 32 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie covers all three, plus a handy mid-year listening list, a salute to two much-loved cultural figures, and Daniel Lanois production lore.

    Ep 31: Spielberg’s Aliens, Icelandic Jazz and a Thousand Gramophones

    10/07/2026 | 42 mins.
    Episode 31 of On The Record ranges from Spielberg’s latest extraterrestrial spectacle to Icelandic cocktail jazz, via Australian festival programming, political songwriting, BBC football commentary and the fragile magic of shellac records. 

    It is a wide-ranging conversation, but not a random one. Beneath the digressions sits a recurring question: what makes art endure when fashion, technology and attention spans keep moving on?
