BETOOTA TALKS: Michael Chugg Part 1: The Father of The Australian Music Scene

The election is finally done and dusted, so we’re leaving the world of politics behind and starting fresh with a huge guest. Michael Chugg has been an integral part of the Australian music scene since the late 60s, having founded the Frontier Touring company and played a part in bringing so many huge acts down under. From ABBA to Billie Eilish, Lime Cordiale to Daddy Cool, Chugg has helped countless artists realise their dreams and potential, as well as giving Aussie music fans a taste of their favourite overseas artists. In the first part of this mammoth interview, Chugg tells Clancy and Wendell about his upbringing, how he got his start in the music industry alongside names like Michael Gudinski and Molly Meldrum, plus the artists that helped launch Australian music in the 70s and 80s.

BETOOTA TALKS: Dr Ken Henry

In the last Betoota Talks before the election, we decided to have a chat to someone who isn't asking for you to vote for them this weekend. Someone who can speak freely and honestly about the state of the nation, and what lies ahead. One of the nation's leading economists, the Taree product swung by for a wide ranging chat about economics, environmentalism and growing up in timber logging country that's still battling with its identity. A great yarn, and one worth listening to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sooty merge

Fact. They strategised with the Labor Party during the election campaign. That really bothered me and just feels so manipulative now.
Refined, informed idiocy
