Customer Reviews
This podcast is such a treat!
Diana is an engaging and entertaining host who wears her enormous knowledge lightly. The guests are always insightful and well-chosen. I was a “casual” fan but not anymore! One Sweet Dream rekindled my interest in all things Beatles and I can’t wait for the next episode :)
Insightful and entertaining
This is an excellent podcast. Recommend it for long time Beatle fans and newer recruits!
Five stars!
Loving this podcast
I’m a life long Beatles fan but after watching Get Back I’ve plunged into Bestlemania. This and sister podcast Another Kind of Mind provide just the kind of analysis I want to listen too - in-depth, human, engaging and funny! Thank you!
