Episode Title: We’re Thunderstruck

You are listening to Who’s on the Aux, the podcast with your hosts Fiona Reznik and Aleena Kashif

In this episode of Who’s on the Aux the Podcast, we discuss how we were thunderstruck.

Fiona: Who’s on the aux? We’re on the aux. Hello everyone, and welcome back to Who’s on the Aux podcast, where we discuss some of your favorite music artists and decide whether they are truly good or just overhyped. On the aux today, we have ACDC.

Aleena: ACDC? Aren’t they like a heavy metal band or something?

Fiona: Yeah, but they are like a good heavy metal band, and they are super popular.

Aleena: Okay, whatever.

Fiona: Anyways, I’m a bit nervous for this episode because my dad decided to be on the show. So I gotta be perfect and not embarrass myself.

Aleena: Your dad???

Fiona: Yeah, let's meet him.

(Dad introduces himself)

Fiona: He got his Ph.D from Princeton! He’s super duper smart. And, a huge fan of heavy metal.

(Dad talks about himself a little more)

Aleena: Okay! Now, we’re going to discuss how AC/DC formed and learn more about them.

Fiona: Okay, to start, Dad, what do you know about AC/DC?

Dad: Answers (either doesn’t know much and just listens to them, or he knows some history behind AC/DC)

Aleena: Ohhh, that’s really cool. So you’ve been listening to them for a while now, then. Do you still listen to AC/DC, or just when you were younger?

Fiona: Yeah, cause you're old.

Aleena: I didn’t mean it like thattttt, just saying because I thought AC/DC was a band from when he was a teenager.

Fiona: They first became a band in 1973, a year before my dad was born. I didn't realize how old he is until now.

Aleena: hahhaaa

Dad: Answers

Aleena: Wait, Fiona, you said they became a band in 1973. How did that happen?

Fiona: So it started with just two brothers, Malcolm and Angus Young. They wanted to make music because their eldest brother inspired them. Their most recent album was Power up in 2020.

Aleena: Who was their brother?

Fiona: George Young, he made The Easybeats, but anyways, then their sister, Margaret, helped with coming up the name…*gets cut off*

Dad: Yeah, I know, the name AC/DC actually came from a sewing machine. It means altering current/direct current.

Aleena: Ohh,h like the direction of the sewing machine.

Fiona: Ahem.. I was gonna say that if you guys didn’t cut me off… ANYWAYS.

Dad: Okay, I’m getting kind of bored with this. I already know everything about AC/DC!

Fiona: Okay, since you know SOO much, I have a little surprise for segment 3!

Aleena: Huh? What’s in segment 3?

Fiona: You’ll find out right after this short break.

Fiona: Welcome back, everyone. I didn’t mention this earlier, but… in this episode, we are doing something a bit different. Instead of sharing opinions, we are going to play a fictional game show!!!

Aleena: Yes, and Fiona's dad will play against each other to answer questions about AC/DC.

Fiona: I will be the host of this game show.

(Play Gameshow)

Aleena: Thank you, everyone, for listening. We’re your hosts, Fiona Reznik and Aleena Kashof, signing off.

Fiona: We have some huge news. Aleena and I have decided to continue the podcast. Episodes will take a little bit longer to publish because we are no longer in the class and will be a self-run podcast. Next time on the aux, we are doing another game show episode about the weekend. Except the entire episode will be about the weekend, and Aleena will play against my friend Amelia. I will award the winner with candy.

Aleena: Music Credits and Social Media.

Fiona: Dad, thank you so much for coming
