LISTEN TO PODCAST NOW

The last couple of weeks Marty and Venetia have explored songs with place names in the title. This week we share groups from the 1970s named after places. We’ve got everything from small Australian towns (Little River), bustling cosmopolitan cities (New York, Boston) and entire countries (America). Definitely a soft rock kind of vibe this week as we wend our way through yet more place names, showcasing some of the decades biggest acts along the way.
