Behind The Hits remembers musical pioneer Chrissy Amphlett ten years on from her passing.
As the attention-grabbing singer in Australian band Divinyls she topped charts around the world, and fiercely kicked down doors for women as she took on the male-dominated rock industry of the 1980s. Over the last decade, Chrissy’s legacy has been firmly established and her songs continue to be discovered by new generations.
We hear her story in her own colourful words plus bandmate Mark McEntee and their legendary producer Mark Opitz.
Also music icons Missy Higgins, Pink, Ella Hooper and Lisa Veronica reveal how Chrissy inspired them.
Hosted by Cat Lynch.

Dave Gleeson hosts a tribute to the late legendary drummer for the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, one year after his tragic passing.   
Taylor Hawkins was a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and an award-winning drummer. He was a larger than life character, who not only played wing-man to one of Rock n’ Roll’s greatest icons in Dave Grohl, but was his brother in arms.
In this podcast you’ll hear from Taylor in his final Australian interview, conducted only a few weeks before his untimely death, as well as newly-unearthed archive chats with Taylor and Dave. Plus we’ll speak to Taylor’s peers – like Alanis Morrisette, P!NK and Noodles from The Offspring – about his impact and legacy.
WARNING – 'Behind The Hits - Remembering Taylor Hawkins' contains coarse language and drug references.
Special thanks to Pink, Noodles from Offspring and Ella Hooper.

A candid Pink discusses motherhood, trolls, death threats, MeToo & being manipulated by her kids. Go behind The Hits with one of Australia’s favourite artists of all time as P!nk releases her new album Trustfall and gets set to embark on the biggest tour of her career.
Pink may be one of the most successful musical artists on the planet, with a special connection with Australians, but when she’s not soaring over audiences, she’s wife to Carey and mum to Willow and Jameson, and you won’t believe how normal her life is off stage.
This is Pink – in her own words.
WARNING – coarse language.
