They’re Called Lollies, Mate

from Planet of the Meerkats · host Neil Freese

This week we chat with Australian ex-pat Christopher Burns, the musical force behind tawny.frogmouth and composer of the Planet of the Meerkats’ amazing theme song. Christopher shares about his musical and artistic process, his thoughts on Australian lollies, raccoon baseball-interference, and barely comprehensible Aussie surfer slang - some of it through song! (Seriously, you have to hear these songs.) Have you ever wondered why Australia has named so many things after Batman? What’s the deal with Vegemite? Come, rinse your corn, and tour the Southern Hemisphere of the Planet of the Meerkats.
