I’m going back to listen to this show. I bought and have read The Beatles 1963 at least 3 times. I so enjoyed the interviews with Dafydd Rees. Love the podcast!

Australiaa year ago - Underrated Beatles Podcast
One of the best Beatles podcasts out there right now. Excellent research and he doesn’t just retread the same topics the other podcasts do.
Apple Podcasts5SeagullshameUnited Statesa year ago - Great show!
I just discovered this show last week (I am slow at stuff and apologise). It’s brilliant. I listened to the Yoko episodes first which were really well thought out and interesting. I thought the search for the real Sgt Pepper was going to be a closed door, but no! There’s a great twist at the end.
If you’re a Beatle nut this is a show for you. Excellent stuff, heartily recommended!
