To celebrate the new issue of ‘Monocle: The Entrepreneurs’ magazine, featuring a special Austria survey, Monocle Radio’s Fernando Augusto Pacheco tunes in to Austrian pop from Falco to Conchita Wurst. Plus: the Austrian star to keep an eye on. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You're listening to the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on 21st November.
It is Thursday.
You just heard the music.
Which means I am joined by Fernando Augusto Pacheco, Monaco's senior correspondent and musical curator for the Global Countdown in Fe.
This is an exciting one.
In honor of the Entrepreneurs magazine of Monaco.
That is an Austria special out today.
But you've kept me in suspense as to exactly what we're doing with this.
Well, it's a very special show.
You are Austrian.
The New Monaco Entrepreneurs is an Austria special and I'll be talking about Austrian music.
But I decided to do something different.
So I'm not looking at the charts in Austria at the moment.
It's not.
Were they a bit depressing, is that?
No.
Depressing, but not the most exciting, I have to be honest.
So I decided to have to look.
It's a timeline of Austrian pop, at least from my perception.
I have a relationship with Austrian pop, Chris.
