Podcasts about Down Down

Host: Paul McIntyre, Editor-At-Large For the shopping public, Coles’ ‘Down Down’ has stuck like super glue for more than a decade – while loathed by adland’s elite. They’ll be mostly thrilled on what Horton – Down Down’s creator – figures is likely now in a rare and wide-ranging interview and podcast. Think rest and hibernation, not a Down Down burial. Horton ran four winning election campaigns for former Prime Minister John Howard and is characteristically frank on the effect the Down Down campaign had on him and his Big Red agency – it spawned a new shop BRX with co-founders Bridget Cleary and Marty Hungerford - to snap the straightjacket it created for him and Big Red. BRX is now being circled by potential suitors. Horton is the last old adman standing – at 74 he’s seen-off John Singleton and Mojo’s Mo and Jo. And while very uncool today, he remains adamant good jingles etch into consumer memory encoding faster than fancy, award- winning creative. It’s why he still warns on the warping dangers of advertising awards in the lead-up to the international Cannes gongfest in two weeks, proffering an ego-busting encounter with his then boss, Mojo’s Alan “Mo” Morris on why. "While you and all your mates are sitting around in a circle telling each other how good you are, your mum and dad are sitting at home singing my ads,” Horton’s recounts with a dense injection of Mo expletives. He’s never been the same since. But Horton casts wider than jingles and Down Down, to the “pseudo science” of attention metrics, “insecure” creatives and a pause-for-thought observation that the uncool craft of catalogue copywriting in the 80s and 90s has striking parallels to what works in social media today. It’s those craft skills, which BRX has captured, templated and automated, that is now partly why global holding companies and others are said to be circling. Here’s the thoughts - and confessions - of adland’s oldest creative.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on News Weakly, Sami Shah looks at what happens when politics stops pretending to care equally about everyone.Labor's latest budget is compared to the brutal Abbott-Hockey austerity budget of 2014, revealing how conservative outrage mysteriously only appears when wealthy Australians lose tax advantages. Meanwhile, the Albanese government finally responds to gambling reform recommendations with a plan so timid it feels focus-grouped by Sportsbet itself.In the UK, Labour MPs appear ready to repeat the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years at high speed, threatening to hand Nigel Farage the easiest political opening of his life.Plus: Coles gets caught playing games with “Down Down” pricing, and the Royal Commission into antisemitism exposes something darker than political disagreement — a growing public instinct to explain away Jewish fear rather than confront it.All that, and more.Sami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.For more: http://thesamishah.comTheme music 'Historic Anticipation' by Paul MottramThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Sami Shah.

Galatians 2:1-10

When Coles told you that prices were “Down Down”, were they really? That's a matter now before the Federal Court with the competition watchdog, the ACCC, arguing consumers have been misled and it needs to end. Today, consumer affairs reporter Michael Atkin on what we've heard in the case so far and how Coles defends its practices. Featured: Michael Atkin, ABC consumer affairs reporter

John Coghlan is one of British rock's most instantly recognisable drummers — a powerhouse player whose relentless, no-nonsense beat helped define the sound and success of Status Quo, one of the UK's most enduring and best-loved rock bands. As a founding member, John was there at the very beginning, helping to shape a career that would span decades, rack up millions of record sales, and soundtrack generations of fans.Born in London in 1946, John Coghlan's musical journey began early. Like many drummers of his era, he was drawn to rhythm and energy rather than flashy technique, developing a style that was solid, driving and unmistakably his own. In the mid-'60s, he joined forces with Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster, forming a band initially known as The Scorpions, later Traffic Jam, and eventually Status Quo. From the outset, Coghlan's drumming was the engine room — dependable, muscular, and perfectly suited to the band's evolving sound.Status Quo first found chart success in the late '60s with their psychedelic hit “Pictures of Matchstick Men,” but it was in the early '70s that the band truly hit its stride. As Quo pivoted towards a heavier, boogie-driven rock style, John Coghlan's role became even more central. His straight-ahead, four-on-the-floor approach powered classic albums such as “Piledriver,” “Hello!,” “On the Level,” and “Blue for You.” Songs like “Caroline,” “Down Down,” “Whatever You Want,” and “Rockin' All Over the World” simply wouldn't work without that relentless Coghlan groove.What set John Coghlan apart wasn't technical showmanship, but feel. He understood exactly what Status Quo needed — a beat you could march to, drive to, and lose yourself in. His drumming became a signature part of the band's identity, locking in tightly with bassist Alan Lancaster and giving Rossi and Rick Parfitt the perfect platform to do what they did best. In an era full of increasingly complex rock drummers, Coghlan proved that simplicity, when done right, could be just as powerful.After more than a decade of non-stop touring, recording and chart success, John Coghlan left Status Quo in '81. The decision came after years of intense work and personal pressures, marking the end of an era for the band and its fans. However, his departure was far from the end of his musical story. Coghlan remained deeply connected to music, carving out a respected second chapter as a live performer and bandleader.In the years that followed, he formed John Coghlan's Quo, later known as John Coghlan's Status Quo, a band dedicated to celebrating the classic Quo sound. Fronting the group from behind the drum kit, John brought authenticity and first-hand experience to audiences around the world, performing the songs he helped create with the same energy and conviction that made them famous in the first place. For fans of early Status Quo, these shows became a chance to reconnect with the raw, boogie-rock spirit of the band's golden years.Beyond the stage, John Coghlan has also been open and candid about the realities of life in rock and roll. His autobiography, “Spud – From the Hood to the Good Life,” offers a refreshingly honest account of fame, friendship, excess, and survival in the music industry. It's a story filled with humour, grit and reflection, shedding light on both the highs of global success and the personal challenges that came with it.Today, John Coghlan is widely recognised as a foundational figure in British rock history. His influence lives on not only through Status Quo's vast catalogue but also through generations of drummers inspired by his commitment to groove over gloss. He represents a time when rock music was built on stamina, sweat and connection with an audience — night after night, song after song.For fans of Status Quo, classic rock, and the musicians who kept it real, John Coghlan remains exactly what he's always been: the beating heart behind one of the most reliable rock rhythms the UK has ever produced.

Sign up to our finance newsletter here. For two years, a pack of Strepsils cost $5.50 at Coles. Then suddenly, it was $7. Then just as suddenly, it was on sale for $6 with a big "Down Down" discount tag. The ACCC examined that sequence of events and is now alleging that Coles is not offering discounts, but rather engaging in deceptive conduct in relation to a group of at least 245 items. Yesterday, the consumer watchdog began its case against Coles in Australia’s Federal Court, and on today’s pod, we're going to take a closer look at the hearing that could reshape supermarket pricing in Australia.

Bondi Beach terror attack gunman, Naveed Akram has, appeared in court for the first time.The 24-year-old faces 59 charges including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist attack over the shooting in December.Akram's father Sajid Akram was killed by police during the shooting at Bondi on December 14, which took place while a Jewish event Chanukah by the Sea was being held in Archer Park.Mr Akram's lawyer says it 's too early to say how his client will plead.Police believe an elderly man mistakenly kidnapped from his home in north-west Sydney is still alive.It's alleged a number of offenders grabbed 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian from his North Ryde bedroom early on Friday morning and bundled him into a car.Police say the kidnappers have the wrong man and his family is not involved in any criminal activity.The ACCC's bombshell lawsuit against supermarket giant Coles has kicked off in Melbourne this morning.  The consumer watchdog is accusing the supermarket giant of ripping off customers by hiking prices for a short period of time, before dropping them for their "Down Down" promotion.Coles claims the price rises were justified, citing high inflation and supplier demands.  

Coles has been accused by the consumer watchdog of a planned campaign to mislead customers on the prices of hundreds of items.On the opening day of a Federal Court case in Melbourne, the ACCC claimed the conduct by Coles was planned and that it would have violated the supermarket's internal policies but they were changed prior to the Down Down program discounts in question.Coles has rejected the allegations that the discounts were fake and says rampant inflation was behind the price increases.  The Bondi Beach terror attack gunman Naveed Akram has appeared on a video link before a Sydney court for the first time since his arrest in December.It was a largely procedural mention of the case about suppression orders over the identities of survivors.The 24 year old is facing nearly 60 charges, including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist act, over the shooting at Bondi during a Jewish event on December 14.He is yet to make a plea.Police believe an elderly man mistakenly kidnapped from his home in north-west Sydney is still alive and are pleading for his safe release.It's alleged three people kidnapped 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian from his home in North Ryde early on Friday morning.The ABC understands a video of Mr Baghsarian was filmed by his kidnappers and distributed by his captors, and that police believe the kidnappers may have been targeting a different family nearby.. with links to organised crime.But police say they have the wrong man. 

The consumer watchdog has accused Coles of ripping off customers with fake discounts in a bombshell case going before the federal court today. The ACCC alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case, saying the program did offer a genuine discount and that any price increases were due to supplier demands and inflationary pressures.Liberal senator James McGrath says the Liberals want to make it clear to Australians what party stands for, and that Australians can expect to see a series of policy announcements from the Opposition in the "coming days and weeks".Since winning Liberal leadership in Friday's spill, Angus Taylor and his deputy Jane Hume have put the economy, childcare, immigration, and nuclear energy on their policy agenda.Senator McGrath says the party's preparing for a fierce battle in the Farrer by-election, with the Nationals, One Nation and independent Michelle Millthorpe also intending to contest the seat. The Munich Security Conference wrapped up in Germany a few hours ago, after three days of meetings and speeches from world leaders covering everything from the war in Ukraine to regime change in Iran.The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio used his speech to reassure Europe the US doesn't plan to abandon the transatlantic alliance.Meanwhile the European Union's foreign policy chief claimed Russia has barely made progress in four years of its war with Ukraine, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted his country needed a 20-year security guarantee from the US before agreeing to any peace deal.America's top foreign diplomat Marco Rubio says the US is trying to strike a successful deal with Iran on its nuclear program, while warning it won't be easy.  Tehran and Washington are holding a fresh round of nuclear talks this week in Geneva, as the US continues to expand its military presence in the middle east.Iran's deputy foreign minister says if sanctions relief was on the table, Tehran might be open to compromise on its nuclear program. Australia's continued its success at the Winter Olympics in Italy, with skier Matt Graham claiming bronze in the dual moguls.The medal's Australia's sixth of the Games and third in mogul skiing, after Jakara Anthony's and Cooper Woods's gold medals last week. Meanwhile Adam Lambert and Josie Baff have finished fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross, and Ally Hickman has made it to the final of the women's snowboard slopestyle, while 2022 bronze medallist Tess Coady, has missed out on qualification.

A court showdown between the consumer watchdog and Coles starts today in the federal court.The ACCC's suing Coles, accusing it of misleading customers for more than a year with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case saying price rises were due to rampant inflation impacting suppliers and the supermarket. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has downplayed the prospect of a military conflict with Iran, saying President Donald Trump is interested in a diplomatic solution to current tensions over its nuclear program.Mr Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are on their way to Europe, for another round of talks with Iran on Tuesday.The Iranian regime has expressed a willingness to negotiate, if the US discusses dropping certain economic sanctions.Australia's success at the Winter Olympics has continued, with flag-bearer Matt Graham winning bronze in the men's dual mogul skiing.Graham claimed his country's fifth medal of the Games and became the third Australian to make the podium in the discipline, after Jakara Anthony and Cooper Woods' gold medals. Jindabyne duo Josie Baff and Adam Lambert finished fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross and 16-year-old Ally Hickman has qualified for the final of the women's slopestyle at the Winter Olympics in Italy, while Mela Stalker and 2022 bronze medalist Tess Coady failed to make the cut.

Consumer group Choice says a blockbuster lawsuit by the ACCC against Coles starting today in the Federal court, could lead to a major shake-up of retail pricing.The consumer watchdog alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Choice's says if the ACCC wins, it could help set guidance around the use of so-called was/now pricing. White House Border tsar Tom Homan says a push by the Democrats to ban immigration enforcement agents from wearing masks will put them at risk. Senate Democrats are using a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security as leverage to push for changes to immigration enforcement — including a ban on masks, mandatory body-worn cameras, and an end to racial profiling by agents. The legislation failed to pass last week, leading to a partial government shutdown. But Tom Homan says threats and assaults on agents have increased, and that agents don't arrest and detain people based on race. Australia's success has continued on day nine of the Winter Olympics, with flag-bearer Matt Graham claiming bronze in the men's dual mogul skiing.Jindabyne duo Josie Baff and Adam Lambert came close to adding to the medals, finishing fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross.And 16-year-old Ally Hickman qualified in sixth for the women's slopestyle, while 2022 bronze Tess Coady finished 27th to be a shock non-qualifier for the final. 

The consumer watchdog has accused Coles of ripping off customers with fake discounts in a bombshell case going before the federal court today. The ACCC alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case, saying the program did offer a genuine discount and any price increases were due to supplier demands and inflationary pressures.New Liberal Leader Angus Taylor insists nuclear power should be part of Australia's energy mix. The Opposition last year promised to build nuclear power plants at seven sites if it won the election.Mr Taylor says nuclear power shouldn't be discounted when considering how to reduce emissions and power costs. The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny says she's determined to continue his fight for justice, after labs in Europe determined he was poisoned with a rare toxin found in South American dart frogs.The UK, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands say tests on samples taken from Mr Navalny's body "conclusively confirm" the toxin's presence.Yulia Navalnaya says she's glad the finding has been made, two years after her husband's death.

A high stakes Federal Court case between Coles and the consumer watchdog is getting underway, which could dramatically reshape what Australians pay at the checkout.The ACCC is accusing the supermarket giant of ripping off customers with "illusory" or fake discounts: hiking prices for a short period of time, before dropping them for their "Down Down" promotion.Coles claims the price rises were justified, citing high inflation and supplier demands.  The federal treasurer still isn't ruling out changes to the capital gains tax discount on investment properties.Officials from the treasury department have all but confirmed they've provided options to the government about how to reduce spending and improve equality in the housing market. Jim Chalmers has again downplayed the possibility of changes but says generational inequality is a key focus of the government.Meanwhile new opposition leader Angus Taylor has written to the Prime Minister requesting a bipartisan taskforce be set up... to find areas to trim in the upcoming budget. Skier Matt Graham has headlined day nine of the Winter Olympics for Australia, claiming bronze in the dual mogul skiing in Livigno. Elsewhere, 16-year-old Ally Hickman has qualified for the final of the women's slopestyle although 2022 bronze medallist Tess Coady missed out.And snowboarders Josie Baff and Adam Lambert have fallen just short of adding to Australia's medal tally, finishing fourth in the big final of the mixed team cross.

No one could have predicted that Jesus would come in the way He did. The circumstances surrounding His birth were unexpected, scandalous, and even chaotic. But every detail of His birth was all part of God's plan. The good news of Jesus' birth isn't just that He came but how He came. How Jesus came reveals why He came. The way He came reveals the true character and mission of God. Join us this Sunday for the start of the Christmas sermon series!

Last week, we started a deep dive into the rabbit hole of US federal government funding of feminist initiatives that could be found by searching the USA Spending website. What started as an examination of one deep hole has turned into a whole rabbit warren with just a few search terms. Tonight, we're going to go over a few more examples and consider their implications.

Welcome back to the show and coming up on this edition we are joined by Joan Armatrading to look back on her 5 decade plus career in the music business and the brand new album just released "How Did This Happen and What Does It Mean" Plus we hear from Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad about their debut live show at the Atlanta Pop and Rock Festival 69, plus the night Led Zeppelin pulled the plug on their live show mid set and touring Europe with Steve Marriot and Humble Pie and also John Coghlan of Status Quo with memories of Top of The Pop's appearences being in LA at the time of "Down Down" being composed.

There are hundreds of angry posts on X, TikTok and Reddit from citizen journalists archiving Coles and Woolworths' published prices and noticing some strange patterns. The posters complain that the two supermarket giants have misled their customers with their “Down Down” and “Prices Dropped” promotions. Now, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has launched legal action, alleging the big two presented discounted promotions that were actually higher, or the same, as the price that had been charged for the same items just weeks beforehand. Today, economist and contributor to The Saturday Paper Peter Martin, on the “illusory” discounts and how a Cadbury Caramello Koala helped fuel the outrage. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Economist and contributor to The Saturday Paper, Peter Martin.
