About this episode
Peter Garrett, Midnight Oil’s iconic frontman, reveals how protest music shaped his identity and mission — from early choir days to rock rebellion — crediting his drummer Rob Hirst as the unsung engine of their anthemic sound. He champions modern voices like Dobby and Bruce Springsteen, proving protest music’s enduring power, and insists the most potent messages come from hope, not rage — urging listeners to act now for a better tomorrow.
