Episode 7: Meet the Marsupials

Frank and Gaz explore the soft power of the Australian native animal and their interactions with the Beatles downunder and a litany of other stars like Taylor Swift. Our hosts interview the world's leading expert on the endangered Palm Cockatoo (from Far North Queensland) and similarities in their drumming styles with those of Ringo. And they ask - why has everyone here named their pets Ringo? They also explore the cultural significance of an iconic Australian TV show about a genius kangaroo and how it has advanced relations with countries ranging from the US to Iran! #Beatles #beatlespodcast #downunder #australianhistory #johnlennon #paulmccartney #georgeharrison #ringostarr
