How To Become Famous! Special Episode with Cass R. Sunstein
Hello and welcome to a Big Beatles Sort Out bonus episode!
We have once again been speaking with author, Beatles fan, legal scholar, Harvard professor, and all round interesting chap, Cass R. Sunstein, about his new book: 'How To Become Famous' published by Harvard Business Review Press out on the 21st May 2024.
The book features The Beatles as one of several case studies into the phenomenon, philosophy and mechanisms of 'fame', so we caught up with him via internet link to the US East Coast to chat the Beatles and fame!
His book can be pre-ordered/purchased here (depending on when you are listening to this!):

Customer Reviews
Good solid Beatle banter
Good deep-dive into every nook and cranny of The Beatles catalog. I appreciate the honesty when it comes to songs that are just crap. Not enough people state the truth.
Enjoyable
Just started listening to this podcast and I find it enjoyable. It has been good at exposing me to Beatles solo stuff. I appreciate the hosts music theory knowledge, something I have no clue about. I enjoying learning more about the technicalities in music w/o it taking the magic away.
Enjoyable for any Beatles fan
Really liked the random selection of 5 songs per episode and the discussion of the music, production, and lyrics, even when I don’t agree with the “scores” given.
