Episode 5: There's a Place
Description
In There’s a Place, Frank and Gaz hit the pavements in search of residual traces of the places downunder where the Beatles stayed, played and partied with locals (What does the rush to redevelop these places tell us about Australia in the 1960s?). Inspired by the true crime podcast genre, our hosts uncover the shady circles within which they mixed in Sydney's ‘Sin City’. In Melbourne, Gaz gathers near definitive unscientific proof of the survival of the London plane trees that supported Beatles fans seeking a view of the fab four on the balcony of the legendary Southern Cross hotel. Frank assesses the symbolism of George’s sidetrip to meet family friends in Mt Taylor, Auckland for a meal of poached eggs and tomato sauce. (Mentioning Taylor Swift didn't seem to help the SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) last episode but we will try again.)
