    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    people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.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

    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?

Miss Jod ,

Listen to this NOW!

Brilliant! I discovered The Beatles about a month ago and this podcast a couple of weeks ago, so glad I chose this one it’s fantastic. Really informative, funny, addictive. Just listen to it!

Simply the Best … Beatles podcast

I love this podcast for its quiet humour as much as I do for its total mastery of its subject. I’m working my way through each episode and it has been a real pleasure. I love the deep dives, the hosts’ level of knowledge and the depth of their research is impressive. I’m constantly learning new things about and gaining new insights into a subject that I’ve loved and ‘studied’ for decades now. I don’t care if they occasionally joke at the expense of one or other of the fabs, it’s funny and I much prefer that approach to the earnest OTT idolatry that many Beatles podcasts offer. “Dynamite weed”, “Dunavan”, keep it coming guys, I’m loving it. I’ve only 17 episodes of the main podcast left to enjoy now so will be signing up to get the extra acast episodes before too long. Nothing is real except that this is really the best Beatles podcast. Keep up the great work, guys, and thank you.

My Favourite Beatles Podcast

After losing interest in a number of other Beatles podcasts, I noticed that this was one I look forward to. I listen to every episode (not like other podcasts) and find them interesting and entertaining and full of information.
So a big thank you and keep up the great work.
