When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the Beatles

Ed has an ability to find amazingly great cohosts. First there was Dave, who was terrific. Now we have Lonnie, who is equally terrific if not even better somehow, and I miss him while he's on sabbatical and hope he comes back soon. But even without Lonnie, Ed is carrying on in fine style, and the two Rutles episodes are a good example. They might be in my top 10 episode list for the show. If you like the Beatles and their respective solo careers, try listening. When They Was Fab rewards listeners who know most of this stuff already, as well as listeners who aren't as well read about the group. I would give it a 5th star if they would trim the opening theme music to 10 seconds and just get on with the amazing content. That music to my subjective ears is a "plodding" rather than a quick cheery opening to this otherwise very positive, upbeat show. But don't let that keep you from accessing the incredibly good, and frequently published, free content. Thank you Ed and Lonnie.

Please put this in your podcast. Stop cursing. I thought you were different from untitled Beatles podcast but you still curse I’m 13 I mean I do listen to bands that curse I like punk but the Beatles are my favorite band and I know a lot about them I mean I do listen to Green Day a lot

The poor handling of The Lewisohn Kerfluffle is disappointing and uninformative, but this podcast when it's happy is entertaining and light, which is most of the time, with a folksiness I find charming. The hosts are well in the groove as lifelong collectors and ready with tidbits about possible upcoming Beatles and solo releases, their ears close to the wires as fan-consumers.

Without the shows one saving grace, Lonnie Pena, there is absolutely no reason left to listen to this podcast any longer
