    Compulsive listening for someone like me, but the interpersonal speculation is slides into the absurd. As in, they are literally gaylors for John and Paul. Be warned.

  • Must listen for Beatles fans

    Two podcast hosts challenge the outdated Beatles narrative, backing up every theory they thoroughly outline with tons of objective data. And they do it with humor and highly entertaining wit.

After viewing (hearing) the evidence through a more modern lens of emotional intelligence and empathy, the Beatles story makes SO MUCH more ... more

All of it is done with love, respect and empathy for everyone involved. And as a bonus, these women are very funny, without it being a comedy podcast. Only podcast where I listen to every episod... more
