First episode will be available on Monday, November 14th with new episodes every Monday after that.

Six short months ago, Ian Zumback didn't know anything about The Beatles. Now, he's listened to all of their albums, watched a couple of movies about them and talked about them for so, so many hours.
 
If you've been along for the ride, first of all thank you for joining us. Second of all, join us for this retrospective/celebration episode on what Joel and Ian took away from this experience. 
 
You'll also hear: 
- Joel and Ian rank all 12 albums 
- Their favorite 3 Paul, John, and George songs
- Their votes for the worst 3 Beatles songs
- At long last, a couple rounds of "How Many Beatles Songs Can Joel Identify in One Second?"
- And moooooore!

It's been long and sometimes winding, but Joel and Ian have almost reached the end of this journey. This week they discuss the last album the Beatles ever recorded as a group, 1969's "Abbey Road."
 
In episode 12, Joel basks in the simple songwriting brilliance of "Something," Ian finally tells us his honest thoughts about "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," and they both just sit there and soak up the elemental heaviness of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." 
 
THIS IS NOT THE FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON ONE. We will be back next week for a final episode where Joel and Ian will talk through their feelings and experiences from out first season, "Ian Hears the Beatles" share their favorite and least favorite Beatles songs, rank all 12 albums and MORE! Join us then for the exciting conclusion!

This week, Joel and Ian wade into The Beatles' 11th album (In recorded order) "Let it Be" and Peter Jackson's incredible 2021 documentary "Get Back," which is about the making of that album. 
 
This one's a long one so make sure to take a pee break before you start and probably watch the movie "Get Back" as well.
 
"Ian Hears the Beatles" #11 is a love-fest of true friendship, live music, Fender Rhodes Electric Pianos and Peter Jackson so if you hate any of those things, give this episode a wide berth.

Ten episodes in and Ian and Joel are ten albums deep into the Beatles' catalogue. 
 
Here they present the thrilling conclusion to last week's sprawling conversation on the topic of The White Album. Listen in for:
 
- Joel's incredulity at Ian's pick for the worst Beatles song (yet)
- Maybe John Lennon's most personal and heartfelt song ever
- Metal-lovers Joel and Ian basking in the vibrations of The Beatles' heaviest song ever
- Lots of monkeys. More than you'd expect, at least.

The Beatles took two LPs to put out their sprawling 10th album "The Beatles (More commonly known as The White Album)" in 1968. In 2022, Joel and Ian are staying true to form and taking two podcast episodes to cover it all.
 
This album has the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and that also sums up our two heroes' experience while analyzing and appreciating it. 
 
This part one episode will cover almost all of Disc 1 and ends with a shocking revelation that will be fully resolved next week. Stay tuned!
 
But for now, enjoy such topics as:
The universal brilliance of Blackbird
Ringo finally finished his first song! Uh oh.
Bungalow Bill vs. Rocky Raccoon
And much mooooooore...
