S10 Ep4: Ten Pound Poms and Telephone Calls

In this episode we hear the second part of Milly's and my conversation with Superfan, John.  John's shared experience is explored further as we delve into the politics of the late 1940s, emigrating, home births and the arrival of telephones. Piano Matt joins us in this week's song and does an incredible job on the keys. Thank you for your ongoing support, Matt. It's greatly appreciated. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phill-cristofaro0/message
