About My Birth Year

In each episode of this podversation series, we are going to choose a year between 1945 and 1999 and highlight some the big news events from that year as well as remembering some of the biggest selling songs, most popular movies and, for episodes from 1956 onwards, the most popular TV shows. In the second part of the episode, we’ll introduce a guest - someone who was born in our feature year. We’ll talk about their memories of their childhood, their youth and their adult years.  These are real stories about real people. We can't wait to share them with you!

episode 1970 - Liz Falconer artwork

1970 - Liz Falconer

Born in 1970, a teen of the 80s. Duran Duran, synth pop, the pastel revolution, the America’s Cup win, Jonathan Sceats sunglasses and wagging school by imbibing cod liver oil. Lived in Perth WA during the 80s and survived the 90s with brows intact. Still wistful of simple, summer days in beer gardens thanks to the worst fake paper ID. My favourite day of the year these days is Eurovision Sunday with a self-imposed all media and device blackout so I don’t know the winner before the annual grand final. I look forward to sharing a reminisce skipping down memory lane while reflecting on more recent times; where was risotto when I was growing up, when did Frank Sinatra become a much-loved crooner in my eyes and, most importantly, how did Simon Le Bon ever get those leather trousers off after prancing around a stage sweating for 2 hours?

1957 - Rob Cameron

My name is Robert Cameron and my life has certainly been an interesting journey so far. Born into a farming family at Wurdi Boluc, which is more of an area than a town, famous for the large Barwon Water Reservoir that supplies the South Western suburbs of Geelong. It was a wonderful childhood with so much fun and activity on limited resources, but a 365 acre playground. I was one of 8 children and in the final year of primary school at the now defunct Wurdi Boluc Primary School, I was one of only eleven students with my two younger sisters. Secondary education was at Geelong Technical School and straight home into agricultural pursuits and then learned to shear sheep. At the age of 30 I was introduced into amateur theatre and at 33 I was given an opportunity to work in sales. Both of these changes had a significant impact on my life, providing confidence and opening doors that I had never thought possible.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
