Fantastic show with in depth, thoughtful interviews—a joy to listen to
I’m a Beatles nerd and a book nerd and this podcast is great! I learn about books I didn’t know existed and get to hear Beatles scholars reflect about and sometimes reassess the classic narratives we’ve heard a million times before. Fresh angles and a lovely host. Just wish the episodes were longer!
Thank you for this brilliant podcast
Great episode, and you reminded me to pick up the Deirdre Kelly book. I’ve probably bought at least 20 books thru this essential podcast. Cheers Joe
