In this episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy turn up the volume and dive deep into the power and staying power of Heritage Music. From the rock gods of the '70s and '80s to today's genre-blending icons, they explore why some songs never fade and how some artists never leave our playlists.

Whether it's The Beatles, Blondie, Bowie, Bruce, or Aussie legends like INXS and ACDC or Kylie Minogue, these artists didn’t just make music, they made moments. 

Ben and Kristy also chat about the new wave of artists, such as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, who are carving their own timeless path with modern messages. It’s a trip down memory lane, full of questions about music that shaped us, the songs that take us back in time, and what it really takes to become a “heritage artist", with differing views.

Enjoy this episode as it filled with laughs, nostalgia, and some serious love for vinyl, plus, we hear from listeners on their own heritage music faves.

In this next episode of Two Cousins One Chat, Ben and Kristy return to their You Don’t Know Me series with Part 3 — Truth or Lie. 

After more than 50 episodes and years of being cousins, you'd think they'd know each other inside and out, but they’re still full of surprises! In this episode, they each ask three very serious questions with three possible answers — but only one is true. Who is the better liar?

Cousins Ben and Kristy are putting their friendship to the ultimate test. Will they finally figure out who they are or will they continue to be kind of strangers - tune in to find out.

Before screens ruled the world, the streets were our playgrounds! 🏃‍♂️🚲

In this episode, Ben and Kristy rewind to the golden days of childhood games—when a roller-skating wipeout was a badge of honour, BMX tracks were our racetracks, and street cricket was as intense as the Ashes. And let’s not forget Kickstone (or was it hide & seek?), where the stakes felt very real.

From backyard escapades to nature strip showdowns, we relive the chaos of Kristy’s infamous Nicholas Grove Gang and Ben’s neighbourhood circuit—where every yard had a specialty.

Get ready for a nostalgia hit that’ll have you digging up your own childhood memories. What were the best games from your street? Tell us—we def need the full rundown!
