Very in-depth

The most important album in Australian history gets the most deep dive into the background behind the songs and all of the people who contributed to its success. It’s great to hear the stories behind the songs. My encouragement to Adam and Nigel to keep going, and I hope the writers, producers, and performers keep contributing to sharing those stories. Well done everyone!

LOVE this podcast. BUT…

Love the deep dive into JF.
I hope they go beyond Whispering Jack.
My only complaint is the audio levels. Some of the interview levels are very low. Then music comes on and it’s blaring loud. Hope that gets figured out
This makes it very hard to listen
Cheers from the US!!
