    1969 - Fourth Week of July
    Jul 21 2019
    This Wayback Week we touch down on the moon to talk space germs, lunar quicksand, the origins of Buzz Aldrin's odd first name and how only two-thirds of the Apollo 11 astronauts went on to receive Australia's highest civilian honour: the Special Gold Logie. Plus: everything else that was happening that week, from an Aussie pop singer shot dead on stage in Vietnam and the end of Edward Kennedy’s presidential hopes, to Mick Jagger being almost fatally unfaithful to Marianne Faithful and the painful comedy of errors suffered by a very unlucky bank robber.

    This Wayback Week we hang out with the Kelly Gang as they try farm a forgotten root vegetable, try to use the lost word "cumshaw" in a sentence, join beardy Leo Tolstoy's cult and examine his saucy "to do" list, ponder whether animals will ever get religion and drop in on the real Deadwood to see what Al Swearengen is up to.

    Jul 7 2019
    This Wayback Week we come crashing back to earth with Skylab, review the first reviews of Mad Max, get m-m-m-musical with m-m-m-My Sharona, remember the beer-can bomb terrorist who tried to blow up a passenger jet in Sydney, chase after the Yowie on the outskirts of Melbourne, learn the British medical method for curing an Ocker and work out whether Winnie Blues are a better long-term investment than property.
