The Topp Twins on Comedy, Activism, Cancer Journeys and their Favourite Characters

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Dame Jools and Dame Lynda Topp.  The twin sisters are best known as the joyfully chaotic and comedic country music duo The Topp Twins and have captivated audiences in NZ and overseas for more than 40 years.  In this episode we hear how two country kids from Huntly became much-loved Kiwis icons, the origins of characters like Camp Mother and Camp Leader and Ken and Kenn, their best stories from the busking years, their most memorable small-town gigs, their long history of political activism, health updates and reflections on their exceptionally successful careers.  This was a really special episode, and we felt honoured to share so much time with the Untouchable girls. Their enthusiasm for life, for fun and for standing up for what is right make them exceptional company, Kiwi icons and just brilliant storytellers. You’ll love this one. Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.
