    The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame

    The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame

    The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame
    1988 was an unusual time: The biggest Beatle was George, rock stars were dealing with the unthinkable (their forties),
    people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.

    Live at the Roundhouse - Part One
    After filming the Hey Jude promo, and in the midst of recording the White Album, somehow The Beatles decide to eye up a return to the stage in the heart of London. So where should that be, and how will they pull it off?

    George Harrison - Gig In Japan

    George Harrison - Gig In Japan

    In 1991, when so many acts from the 60s were lucratively touring, George Harrison decided to dip his toes in the water.
    Why? Money. Where? Japan. Who? Clapton. What…could possibly go wrong?

Amazing Beatles podcast!!

I have been a true and die hard Beatles fan for most of my life and have held off exploring a Beatles podcast as the few I had sampled years ago were sadly disappointing. I am beyond happy that I gave this podcast a try. Steven and Jason are amazing. Fun, engaging, knowledgeable, I have fallen in love with the Beatles all over again. I have learned new things, and enjoyed rediscovering things I had forgotten. And they have had Mark Lewisohn on several times which has my undying gratitude . I really cannot say enough good things about this show. 😊❤️

One of the Best

One of the best of the Beatles podcasts, partially due to the sense of fun they often bring to their detailed investigations. They’re also not afraid to say what they think, and fortunately they often have different takes, so many angles are covered. They got me through the first lockdown and now I go to them to get away from the strident squawk of so many podcasts to hear their measured voices talk about the ins and outs of my favourite band.

Fab - not grotty

What a find, truly! Very interesting topics, offering up the product of detailed, well-rounded research. Great tone, very funny at times, Stephen and Jason really know their Fab Four. Bravo, gentlemen! Yeah yeah yeah!
