Description
In this special podcast crossover event, the teams behind A Journey Through Aussie Pop and A Journey Through Stock Aitken Waterman unite to discuss the legacy of Tania Lacy, who went from dancer on Countdown and choreographer of Kylie Minogue's "Locomotion" music video to maverick presenter on spin-off series The Factory and Countdown Revolution. Tania talks about being co-host of those music programs and entertaining a generation of music fans with her comic characters and outrageous interview segments. Behind the laughs, there were some not-as-amusing moments, as Tania reveals the lack of support she received from producers and the consequences of the infamous strike episode of Countdown Revolution. She also talks about her current projects, including her stand-up performances around Australia.
