To avoid GOT BACK spoilers, skip to 48:15 after our intro.

We break down our first impressions of the three-part Get Back epic (spoiler: we loved it). Plus, remembering George 20 years on, and a little obsessing over replica Beatle clothing and the latest Brian Epstein statue news.

It's finally here! We're discussing (and obsessing over) the new Giles Martin-produced Let it Be album and deluxe box set, track-by-track. 

Last month marked 20 years since 9/11, and while observing the day itself is pretty grim, we couldn’t let the anniversary pass without talking about how Paul channeled that horrible event into some pretty massive (and divisive) musical moments.

Now that October is upon us, we’re all gearing up for the Let It Be bonanza, starting with the newly remixed album and box sets on October 15. So, to give us the scoop on everything from making the Beatles sound “fresh” for a new generation to dealing with haterz on the Internet, we’re so SO excited to welcome Giles Martin to the podcast!

We’re baaaack! After a bit of a hiatus, we return with something of an explanation — plus, we discuss (and justify our absence with) lessons John Lennon learned during his late-1970s house-husband days.

American scholar Christine Feldman-Barrett is a Senior Lecturer in sociology at Griffith University, in Brisbane, Australia, and is a member of the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research. A Women’s History of the Beatles brings a refreshing new perspective to our knowledge of Beatles history, chronicling not only the impact of women on the Beatles, but also how the band has influenced and inspired women for three generations and counting.

The creators behind the Monkees’ hit television series (and the band itself) hoped to establish an American Beatles - although the band’s critics would often refer to them as the “Pre-Fab Four.” While much of the music community despised the Monkees, the Beatles… actually loved them. Join us as we explore why with Grammy-nominated producer, historian, and author Andrew Sandoval, whose new book chronicles the Monkees’ entire career from the birth of Peter Tork in 1942 to the very last day of 1970.

This week marks what would have been George Harrison’s 78th birthday… or is it birthdays? We’re taking a look at George’s early life in Liverpool with the Harrison family, his guitar-obsessed schooldays, and a few weird parallels with the other Beatles’ childhoods. Plus, our weekly obsessions, Paul dreams, and more!

We "seize the day" and go "deep down" with our analysis of Paul McCartney's new "made in rockdown" album, McCartney III. Join us as we obsess over what we loved, didn't love, and of course, which of the many vinyl editions we're coveting.

This week, we're joined by Sarah Stacey, radio producer and host of the new audio documentary Lennon: 40 Years On, to pay tribute to John on the 40th anniversary of his tragic murder. 

This Halloween, we conjure up scary Beatles tales with paranormal investigator and Liverpool native Kevin Eustace! Kevin is the host of the podcasts “We Need To Talk About Ghosts" and “The Dark Paranormal." We chat about some of the most haunted Beatles-related places and events; John, Paul, and George's own paranormal experiences; and... John's deal with the devil?? Plus, we break down what we know about the upcoming McCartney III release, and share this week's obsessions.

It's Johnny's (80th) birthday, and we're celebrating with a look at John Lennon's New York City. Join us on a virtual tour of some of the places and events that influenced the last decade of his life and made him an iconic part of NYC culture. Plus: lots of John feels on this milestone birthday, an update on our monthly giveaway, and the strange tale of a cult leader who said he had an unknown Beatles album.

We're unpacking Paul McCartney's 1997 album Flaming Pie, and going inside the new McCartney Archive Collection reissues. Join us for a track-by-track deep dive where we debate what the hell Paul was actually saying with "I'm the man on the flaming pie," introduce the #LittleWillowChallenge (watch if you dare!), and introduce the first EVER (and only!) McCartney/Starkey writing credit. Plus the inside scoop on the goodies in the deluxe reissue, and why it's Allison's *favorite* Paul album!
