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people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.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 Two
In December 1968, Michael Lindsay-Hogg directed a TV special where the kings of British rock gathered to play their new material.
Unfortunately, it was with the Rolling Stones. Whither The Roundhouse? What happened next and what could have happened?

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?

Customer Reviews
Nuanced and well-researched
This is the best Beatles podcast around. Steven and Jason not only present the facts in extreme detail, but engage with them in a nuanced and reflective way. In many ways the show acts as a reflection on the legacy of The Beatles and how we view them in contemporary culture.
Plastic ono
Loved the bonus episode about Yoko’s plastic band. I checked it out and recommended to a friend. I really enjoy the pod, keep up the good work
Armchair critics
I listened to one podcast and that was enough for me, the very first one I think,, the way they dismissed the 2nd side of the help! album like judge and jury . I love the 2nd side of the album ,, l especially love Act Naturally , Tell Me What You See and It’s Only Love . Act Naturally was a huge hit for Buck Owens and the Beatles were highly influenced by Buck and Don Rich ,, but you barely mention that and you just come across and music snobs dismissing a whole genre of music . Who cares what you think anyway
