  • Unnecessary swearing

    No need for it. Disappointing and a bit all over the place.

  • Disappointing and annoying

    Amateurish host, trying to be funny, and isn’t.

    Was looking forward to the Stephen Cockcroft interview but could only last ten minutes.

    There are many far, far better Beatles podcasts.

  • Decent Podcast overall has a glaring issue

    The host annoys me. I don’t think the host is as charming as he thinks he is. Gives me a weird vibe but I’ll give it to the guests he picks. They often carry the show and make it listenable

  • SuperDave in South Carolina

    Fantastic podcast hosted by a true fan with an extraordinary knowledge base of all things Beatles and a seemingly vast knowledge of rock music in general dating back 60 years or so to 1960 or earlier. Ethan has interesting guests who are familiar with their subjects and he keeps his cast interesting by asking insightful and probing questions of his guests. I recommend this podcast to any and all Beatle fans.

  • Great podcast just recently discovered

    Ethan does a great job creating discussions with his guests and he has had an impressive array of people including Kit O’Toole, Ken Womack, Walter Podrazik, Jerry Hammack and Andy Nicholes. He asks great questions and I am impressed with his knowledge of the Beatles given that he was born after 2000. Highly recommended!

  • The future of Beatle fandom

    Just what we need! A new Beatle podcast hosted by an extraordinarily bright, well informed and funny young guy. It’s scary how deep young Ethan’s understanding of the topic is. He’s had a lot of great guests early on interacts with them in an engaging, relaxed and conversational manner. If he sticks with it (and he must!) Ethan will be the premier Beatle expert in the world not named Lewisohn in years to come.

  • Pure fun and charisma!

    Just discovered this show and love the randomness in the conversations (in the best way possible). Ethan tells it like it is with a great sense of fun and a fascinating mix of confidence and self-deprecation.

    Well worth a listen!!
