  • Miss the Eggpod? Listen to this!!

    This is a tremendous Beatles podcast. Tim Tucker is a brilliant interviewer, really good with the guests, knowledgeable but not remotely nerdy! He sounds like the kind of bike you’d like to have a pint with. If you miss I Am The Eggpod with the fantastic Chris Shaw, MFBS is made for you. I especially recommend the Rod Davis and David Hepworth episodes.

  • My (new) favourite Beatles podcast …

    Only discovered this podcast after the sad demise of Eggpod and NIR, but so glad I did!

    The host Tim has a very personable manner and reacts and relates well with the guests. He knows his subject and allows the guests to wander with their stories which often illicit some more interesting information or stories.

    Guests are fans (they have to rate their own fandom!) but also knowledgeable and often have a link to the Beatles or their orbit and are all very interesting.

  • Comfort listening!

    Fascinating deep dives into one Beatles song at a time. It’s like slowly savoring a great feast. The perfect mix of extremely knowledgeable but not smug or arrogant. The host is lovely and the guests are always interesting.

  • Wonderful podcast

    Excellent, in-depth discussions of great songs. Interesting guests, very skilled host, who makes his own quite insightful observations of the song under discussion. See esp. the ‘Penny lane’ episode - great stuff there on memory and place that was almost ‘Nabokov-ian.’ Also the episode on ‘you never give me your money- - some very cool music analysis observations there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

She Came In Through the Bathroom Window – Tom Doyle
Q: Why did you choose this song to discuss today?
I chose it because Abbey Road is a landmark and this track, while short, grooves deeply with a blend of surreal lyric imagery and tight studio craft that exemplifies the album's experimental spirit, and it also represents one of Ringo's standout moments within the suite.
Season 2 Finale – Laurence Juber on Wings
Q: How much creative control did you have over the guitar parts when you joined Wings?
Paul McCartney was motivating and allowed a lot of freedom to try ideas, with occasional specific requests when a part needed to be fundamental.
Hello, Goodbye – Simon Love
Q: What is your first memory of the Beatles?
Simon recalls being exposed to the Red and Blue Albums, discovering the band through a mix of early singles and the way their music sounded distinct from anything else on the radio, which cemented his lifelong fascination. He also notes the shift in sound across the late 60s, and how the group's evolution influenced his own music.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps – Laurence Juber
Q: How can people find out more about what you're doing?
My website is laurenceduber.com.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps – Laurence Juber
Q: What do you find particularly special about 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'?
It's a great song, and of the many arrangements I've done, that's one I always enjoy playing.
