    The Beatlology Interviews: David Sheff

    The Beatlology Interviews: David Sheff

    David Sheff conducted the last major interview with John Lennon. Just as Double Fantasy was being released, Sheff interviewed John & Yoko for Playboy magazine. It was the famous interview where Lennon went through the Beatles catalogue song-by-song – just before he died. The backstory of that interview is fascinating.

    A Tribute to Bob Newhart

    A Tribute to Bob Newhart

    I did a lot of commercials with Bob Newhart in the late 90s. He was one-in-a-million, a joy to work with, and he will be missed. And I want to tell you a very funny story that happened as a result of those commercials.

    The Beatlology Interviews: Astrid Kirchherr

    The Beatlology Interviews: Astrid Kirchherr

    Astrid Kirchherr holds a special place in the history of the Beatles. She took the famous Hamburg-era photos of the Beatles in their formative years, she inspired their “moptop” hairstyle, and she happened to fall in love with Stuart Sutcliffe, the fifth member of the Beatles. Her story is compelling, and her love of the Beatles, as friends, comes through in every word.

    But Wait, There's More: Fashioning the Beatles - Interview with author Deirdre Kelly

    The Beatles were more than an iconic musical band, they were fashion icons. They changed their styles constantly, setting fashion trends around the world. And they did it all without stylists or consultants. Remarkably, their looks are still reverberating on the world’s top fashion runways today. Join us for a fascinating talk with author Deirdre Kelly, as she takes us on a fun ride through the sartorial influence of the Beatles.

Creative!

I love listening to this show! It always brings a smile to hear great marketing history put together in a creative story telling format. Thank you Terry!

Love the show. But…

Love the show but 6 minutes and 19 seconds of advertising before you start talking about advertising might be more flooding the engine then priming the pump😬

You must get this show

If you’re a curious human with a pulse, this show is essential part of a healthy diet of stories and insights about not just marketing and advertising but rather our relationships with brands. Long time fan of the show, I had to wait a week to listen to it live on CBC Radio back in the day and Terry’s recommendations for books influenced my read list to this day!
Doesn’t hurt to connect with great writers and well written and produced shows such as this!
Also digging the northern ontario origin!
