S1 Ep7 - Art, Filmmaking, Avant-Garde - Peter Tammer

Every year, Madeleine Genner (my excellent wife) and I gather up the sounds of the year and I break out the old ProTools to mix a mashup of the year in news, politics, sport, power chords and dead famous people.

And hoooo boy, was 2016 a doozy.

This is the 6th year we've made the montage for ABC Radio. It always provokes much argument in our house but we still do it. 

Leave a comment if this makes you cry at any point.  It'll validate this whole exercise.
