  • Back bedroom Beatlery.

    If you discovered The Beatles via secondhand copies of the albums and musty paperback retellings of the legend, the dreamy back-bedroom interiority of this pod may well appeal - the vibe’s just right. The host is a well-travelled, much-storied citizen of the universe, but it’s the Lennon of the mind, not the world, that scintillates and dominates here, shapeshifting, time-travelling, famous and unknowable, gone but ever present and always fascinating. A good grounding in music makes the speculat... more

  • Excellent Podcaster

    Antony is one of the best podcasters out there at the moment, an excellent speaker with well researched shows and interesting guests. Not just for John Lennon fans.

    He definitely needs to be better known over his three podcasts.

At times he even plays us some of John's songs. I hear there will be a book based on this podcast and I ... more

  • Glass Onion. On John Lennon

    This podcast is excellent! The host has such extensive knowledge of John Lennon. I’ve been reading books on Lennon/Beatles for over 30 years and thought I knew pretty much everything. But I have gained so much insight from listening to this podcast.
