Toy Power Podcast

In this special Toy Power episode we are joined by author Paul Flavel. He’s just released an amazing new book called John Martin's: The Story of South Australia's Beloved Department Store, which has been over 5 years in the making. We chat about many amazing memories of this beloved South Australian department store, from the incredible toy department (largest in the Southern hemisphere, that’s a fact, Jack) to the indispensable Eliza’s cafeteria (where the malt for your milkshake is always available), through to the Christmas pageant and the undisputed home of Father Christmas. If you have a love for this beloved SA retailer, do yourself a favour and check it out at https://www.johnmartinsbook.com (print run 1 is selling fast). You can curl up with your Marty bear and a cup of coffee from Eliza’s and enjoy this beautiful book that so beautifully captures an important part of our State (and Australian) retail history. Darren, this one’s for you buddy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omn
