We are the world’s leading hammered highbrows of Beatles broadcasting. In other words, we have a few drinks, we hit record, and we review and rank one Beatles song per episode. 

  1. Ep. 99 - I'll Be Pickleback

    FEB 5

    Ep. 99 - I'll Be Pickleback

    We start episode 99 with a classic Blotto Beatles Del Shannon/Dave Pirner mix up.  From there, we spend 10 minutes quoting Schwarzenegger, discussing our favorite Christmas music, offering an A-Paul-ogy, forgetting which songs we've talked about, creating a ramp up plan for the upcoming Beatles movies, revisiting pants, soliciting for SunCruiser sponsorships, and questioning a change in the Beatles with the Hard Day's Night closer, "I'll Be Back." As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter / X (@blottobeatles), by emailing us (blottobeatles@gmail.com), or on the web (blottobeatles.com).  We want to hear from you!

We have a shop!  Grab some merch.  You can always drunk dial us at 1.857.233.9793 to share your thoughts, feedback, confessions, and concerns to be featured in an upcoming episode. Enjoying the show? Buy us a beer via the tip jar (don't forget to include a message telling us what we should drink with the money).

  2. Ep. 98 - The Long And Wine-ing Road (feat. Andrew Gower)

    JAN 22

    Ep. 98 - The Long And Wine-ing Road (feat. Andrew Gower)

    Do you like cease and desist letters from Paul McCartney dramatically read by Canadians?  Then you've come to the right place.  After that, episode 98 kicks off in earnest with a discussion o which Beatle would be the best to go on a road trip with, a little more Anthology reflection, Andrew Dice Clay and Mitch Hedburg talking Beatles, and a big Beatles track with our new friend, actor and musician Andrew Gower, who maybe turns us around on the Phil Spector produced, The Long and Winding Road. Andrew was a heck of a guest and is a wonderful musician.  Check out his band Gustaffson wherever you get your music.

  3. Ep. 97 - Rainkiller (feat. Diallo Riddle of One Song Pod)

    12/18/2025

    Ep. 97 - Rainkiller (feat. Diallo Riddle of One Song Pod)

    What was it that made Paul McCartney's bass sound so unique?  We dive into that before welcoming our amazing guest, Diallo Riddle, and talking best Beatles roommates, a lot of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the strange creepiness of The Magical Mystery Tour Cover, and the sped up b-side Rain.  Is it the best Beatles cover?  Where does it land on our big old list?  Listen in to find out.

  4. Ep. 96 - Champains w/ a Vodka Cranthology Chaser (feat. Ethan Alexanian of the Fans on the Run Pod)

    12/04/2025

    Ep. 96 - Champains w/ a Vodka Cranthology Chaser (feat. Ethan Alexanian of the Fans on the Run Pod)

    We had to start in the way all of the Beatlesphere is this week, with a reflection on the release of Beatles Anthology 2025.  Once we express our feelings on that, we transition into our episode proper and cover rock bands with two lives, our Beatles themed tombstones, some Paul love, some Jeff Tweedy love, mixed feeling on James McCartney, and the Beatles Beverly Hills phase.  From there we are joined by our favorite neighbor from the North, Ethan Alexanian, to discuss a little more about James McCartney and the Brill Building cover, Chains.

  5. Ep. 95 - You Won't Sea Breeze

    11/20/2025

    Ep. 95 - You Won't Sea Breeze

    We are on the road to Episode 100, and number 95 can only start with a voicemail from a bonafide famous person that includes the story of two mice named Gary and Steve.  From there we wonder if the story of the Beatles is a sad song, if the Beatles should have cameos in the Beatles movies, if Sam Whiles is still mad at our takes on seasonal Beatles records, if Paul's demo of this track was recorded on a voicemail to Jane, why the Beatles felt so rushed on Rubber Soul, if you should write breakup songs while staying in your girlfriend's parents home, if an Astin Martin leaves Liverpool at 3pm how long it takes to get to Jane's photo shoot, how many terms Becker has for hi-hats, and where the bounce is in Paul's "You Won't See Me."

    Ep. 94 - Every Little Singapore Sling (feat. Sam Whiles of Paul or Nothing Pod)

    Tommy starts by telling the other Blottos about the secret side project he's been working on.  From there we do some great Foley work before bringing back fan favorite Sam Whiles to discuss our feelings on the revisited Beatles Anthology, Sam's personal project of making a McCartney-only Beatles Anthology, the story of a friend who encountered Mark David Chapman, our new show pitch "Mark David Chat, Man," seasonal Beatles, Ringo's art show, Ringo's charity to support charitable organizations, and the timpani-heavy "Every Little Thing."

    09/11/2025

    Ep. 93 - I'm Only Sipping (feat. Mary Devlin/@Beatledirt)

    The Blottos made the news!  After we revel in the attention of Deuce Newsington, we talk about our poddy count, take heat on Blotto Vetoes, review portions of the Billy Joel doc, wonder if the microphone really smells like a beer, debate which Blotto would play best on NPR, and dig into what was our long lost pilot track of "I'm Only Sleeping," with our new friend Mary Devlin.  Play it in reverse and you might find a secret track.   As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter / X (@blottobeatles), by emailing us (blottobeatles@gmail.com), or on the web (blottobeatles.com).  We want to hear from you!

    Ep. 92 - I Mead You

    The Blottos are back, and we don't miss a beat as we tackle a bevy of topics such as the long lost Rubber Soul movie, the importance of the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere, It's a Paul World After All, the Scar Tissue audio book, the potential of seeing Paul in the Hamptons, the state of movie theaters, Modeloritas, and the Epstein files.  Finally, we turn up the volume as we discuss the George non-banger "I Need You."
