Tune in for a funny, informative and I think bloody interesting deep dive into all things Kiwi in 1981 – what were we wearing, watching, earning, protesting, creating and watching back in the day? I’ve got a great line up of music for you including the peak number they hit and the weeks they spent on our charts. In 1981 Flying Nun Records were launched in Christchurch and Good Bye Pork Pie was an unexpected and unequivocal hit at the box office. Indiana Jones made his debut on the big screen and Rodger Moore was 007 James Bond. A year when sheep farming was our prime industry and there was 77 sheep to every kiwi here. Robert Muldoon was both the prime minister AND the finance minister and he ruled without redress. We protested against the Springbok tour and our country was divided down the middle. Join the nostalgia and see where we were in 1981.
