Living in the 70s

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.

    Autumn melodies

    Down here in Australia’s South, the days are getting shorter, the mornings crisper, the leaves are turning and we are all putting on extra layers to stay warm. There’s a definite feeling of  Autumn in the air. So, this week, we thought we would play some Seventies tracks with an Autumn feel. It’s turned out to be a lovely, mellow playlist, perfect for relaxing around a cosy fire on a crisp evening. So make yourself a hot cup of cocoa and pull up a comfy chair. Welcome to our Autumn show.

    On this day

    This weeks show went to air on the 23rd of March 2025. We thought we would look back through the Seventies and see what notable musical events happened on this date. Turns out, quite a few – bands signing to record labels, singles released, concerts held. As a theme, it’s created a great mix of classic 70s tracks – all related in some way to a single date in March.

    Happy Birthday Marty!

    It’s Marty’s birthday. Hip, Hip, Hooray! And for his birthday, Venetia has put together a playlist of some of his favourite artists. It’s a Marty flavoured blend of pop and rock with a sprinkling of country and a pinch of soul. All it needs is a great big bow and some candles on top. Happy birthday, Marty.

    Oh bondage, up yours!

    This week our show is made up of all women artists of the Seventies – in part to balance our recent show featuring all men called David, and also to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8. And what a show we have. Women really were doing it for themselves in the 1970s, and doing it well. We have funk, we have pop, we have a little bit of punk. Women were everywhere, making their mark and, luckily for us, sharing their immense talent with the world.

    Happy birthday Venetia!

    It’s Venetia’s birthday this week, so she got to sit back and relax while Marty did all the hard work of picking the tracks, finding some of her favourites as a little birthday treat.  He did a wonderful job – as usual – including some of the usual suspects but also a few extra special artists that haven’t made an appearance in her birthday list previously. Venetia thinks it’s a brilliant mix, hopefully you do too.

    All the Davids

    So many Davids! When you think of Seventies music it’s hard not to think of at least a few artists called David – David Bowie, David Crosby, David Cassidy, David Essex, to name but a few. As an organising theme, it makes for an easy to put together play list and it’s a bit of fun too. So this week, all our artists have the first name David. What is the collective name for a group of Davids? A derby? A dreamboat? A depth? You decide.

    It’s a killer show

    This week our hosts are going a wee bit dark and playing tracks from the Seventies all about murder and death. The murder ballad has a long history, all the way from folk through country and even pop. Along with love and money, it’s one of life’s great themes, after all, explored in every art from, including music. And Seventies music is no exception. But despite the gruesome subject matter, some of these tracks really are killer.

    Love hurts

    Aaah love. The obsession of songwriters since time immemorial.  And just as well, as every relationship and every breakup must have its soundtrack. Who hasn’t wept into their pillow after finding just the right song to express their heartbreak, or sung along to a joyful ditty while in the grip of heart racing new love. Well, if you are experiencing either of those states, this show can provide some inspiration, if not consolation. Perhaps love is in the air, or perhaps it hurts right now. Either way, we’ve got you covered.
