    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    Two podcast hosts challenge the outdated Beatles narrative, backing up every theory they thoroughly outline with tons of objective data.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

  • Truly one of the best Beatles podcasts out there

    Even though I've been a Beatles fan since my very early teens in the late 70s, I've learnt so much from this podcast. It is so well researched and challenges some of the old narratives that I was never comfortable with, especially around the breakup of the band and the relationship between John and Paul. 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
