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 benchtops 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.

The only prescription is more cowbell
Today’s show is a tribute to the humble cowbell. So, uncelebrated and yet such an essential feature of rock, funk and latin music. It doesn’t play melody, being only one note, but it does add texture, syncopation and drive to any track. For as long as we’ve been human we’ve clapped our hands, stamped our feet and hit two sticks together to create a beat. The cow bell is the perfect beat keeper, resonant and loud enough to cut through amplified rock guitars and the noise of a full drumkit. Even today, along with all the other bits and pieces of expensive and elaborate kit in the studio or on the stage, the simple cow bell has pride of place.

Boogie Mama
Happy mother’s day to all the boogie mamas! Yes it’s that time of year again where we all say a big thank you to the mamas. Mamas who rock, mamas who boogie, mamas who get down and mamas who keep it funky. Today’s show is for you.

The A to Z of Seventies music, part three
This week it’s part three of our exploration of Seventies musical artists in alphabetical order. On this week’s show, we continue our journey through the alphabet, covering the letters Q to Z. Yes, it’s all the tricky letters, including Q, U, X, Y and Z. And what do you know? We managed to find tracks for them all.

The A to Z of Seventies music, part two
Last week we brought you part one of our exploration of Seventies musical artists in alphabetical order. On this week’s show, we continue our journey through the alphabet, covering the letters I to P. From Iggy Pop to the Pointer Sisters, it’s an orderly progression through some Seventies fabulousness.

The A to Z of Seventies music, part one
We love a theme challenge here at Living in the Seventies. A little while ago the team from Saturday Breakfast gave us the idea to create some shows using the alphabetical as an organising theme. Of course 26 tracks is more than we can fit into one show, so welcome to part one of three shows featuring tracks from Seventies artists in alphabetical order! And yes, we even got tracks from artists starting with U and X. Cool, eh?

Happy birthday to me
Last week we celebrated Marty’s birthday, this week it’s Venetia’s turn. All of the tracks this week have been chosen by Marty in Venetia’s honour. Did he choose as well as Venetia did? We’ll soon find out. Happy birthday Venetia!
Customer Reviews
Simply the best!
Love, love, love this show. Marty and Venetia deliver a 70’s smorgasbord of hits each and every week. Plus background information on the artists, bands and songs that brings the 1970’s unique music to life. Huge thanks to both hosts for the work they do in researching the music of that era. It’s a JOY to tune in each week and be reminded of the outstanding music of the 1970’s.
A fun way to explore the 70s
As someone who grew up in the 80s…this show has been a fantastic way to build an understanding and appreciation of the amazing decade for music that was the 70s.
Always a good music mix and fun hosts yo boot!
Brilliant podcast
I look forward to this podcast every week. Great hosts and music! Do yourself a favour people.
