So now the magic and mystery of the sitcom is completely ruined, and I shall never again be enamoured… kidding!! 

But I did find out some stuff, so that’s what Sunday's show is all about: the evolution from live studio audiences to the canned laughter we know today! 

• Songs played
• Dizzy Days - Over & Over
• The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman
• Yinguray - Starburstx
• The Woohoo Revue - Babushka
• Robert Baxter - BRB
• Radio Free Alice - Kick in the Shins
• Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

So this Sunday, we shall investigate the rise of…

THE TEENAGER.

(Everybody runs screaming )

But in defence of teenagers, their reputation isn’t entirely on them…

It’s kind of society’s fault.

From high school to magazines to rock ’n’ roll, let’s find out where the “teenager” actually came from — and how they became a culture all of their own.

• Songs played
• My chemical romance - Teenagers
• Taneisha Vartiainen - Jealousy looks ugly
• The runaways - Cherry Bomb
• Pilot crisis - Dreams in disguise
• Stabbitha and the knifey Wifeys - Act your wage
• Little Richard - Good golly, miss molly
• Johnny O’Keefe - The wild one (real wild child)
• Terrvces - Alas poor yorick

From Bucephalus to Copenhagen, these weren’t just horses standing conveniently next to famous men in paintings.

They have stories of their own.

• Songs played
• 3% (feat Fred Leone) - Not Many - Ganay Biralunbar
• Verati - Tranquillium
• Asha Jefferies - What the hell
• Mystic Tea Party - Angelite
• Cygnette - Sorry I left the party
• SymphonicAngel - Fuck all the people who done you wrong

WHY DID HUMANS THINK THIS WAS MEDICINE?

We’ve got bloodletting. Mercury. Medicinal mummy. And a tobacco treatment involving a pair of bellows and an entrance to the human body that I will allow you to discover for yourselves.

Was there logic behind it? Surprisingly, yes.

Was it good logic?

Well.

People were eating mummies.

Join me for questionable medical decisions, genuinely fascinating history and the comforting knowledge that you were not born in 1780.

So this week, we’re doing something a little different: no thoughts, just music. 

Music that’s been getting me through the consequences of my own enrolment. Music I’ve stumbled across and immediately wanted to share with you. A little less research, a lot more music, and probably still some randomness along the way.

This episode will also take a little time to remember Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Bonnie Tyler — three incredible artists we’ve lost this year. I’ll be playing a song from each in loving memory and celebrating the music they’ve left us with.

• Songs played
• Vinted Vineer - You
• Atticus Chimps - say it like you mean
• Elke Louie - sandman
• Selve - Desire
• Trace - The strain
• The Phosphenes - plastic dream
• Mitch, Please - All the rage
• Silver Sircus - metal
• Dolly Parton - I will always love you
• Tim Curry - Sweet Transvestite
• Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a hero

And believe me, some of these jobs make all the retail and hospitality trauma tolerable! 

• Songs played
• Dizzy Days - take my heart
• Kruce ft Mønique - Sheets
• Stabbitha and the Knifey Wifeys - Out for blood
• Salt-n-pepa - Push it
• Mertas - one and only
• knife party - bonfire
• The Woohoo Revue - The orient express

I (somehow) found myself sucked into the insanity that is Medieval and Early Modern European Animal Trials. 

Tune in on Sunday to find out what the verdicts were for our defendants! 

• Songs played
• Tullamarines - Lying
• Ghost - Rats
• Scorpions - The Zoo
• LEAP - where the silence goes
• CHROMERA - Save Urself
• Nocturnal Animals - Can you make me feel alright

This week I was drawn into the wonderfully chaotic world of words, specifically, their layered history.

Most of the words we use today once had completely different meanings, and that history is absolutely bonkers! 

So that’s what Sunday’s show is all about: a select few words, their history, and what they used to mean! 

• Songs played
• My Daydreams - LOWLIGHT
• Airheart - Taking Care of Myself
• Serendipiti - Ajar
• Sonny Fodera, D.O.D, Poppy Baskcomb - Think about us
• WAAX - Wild & Weak

We talked all things Distrosub: what inspired the platform, the current state of streaming, the music industry as a whole, the challenges of building something from the ground up, and plenty more along the way.

• DEAD LION - Drive fast, get away from here
• The Graveyard Club - Hateful Appetite

This Sunday, we bring that conversation to a close with Part 2—the final instalment of our special two-part interview.

From Dr Cipa's book Is Harpo Free? And other questions of the metaphysical screen,  to film, television, the philosophical, and the downright hysterical, we wrap up a conversation that wandered through big ideas, memorable stories, and plenty of laughs along the way.
