  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Because – Owen Cutts
Q: I mean, you know, I said about choosing a Beatles song, but it must have been hard picking 52 songs. What were your criteria? How did you decide to whittle that down?
Cutts generally considers music released before his 1983 birth year, then chooses 52 different artists he loves and selects the song from each artist that resonates most with him.
Because – Owen Cutts
Q: The song you've chosen to discuss is Because. Now Because was recorded in August 1969 at Abbey Road Studios for the Abbey Road album, written by John Lennon, credited to Lennon McCartney and released on the album Abbey Road, which came out in September 1969, which was hugely successful as were all their albums. It was 17 weeks at number one in the UK and 11 weeks at number one in the US. So those are the facts, but tell us what this song means to you.
Cutts says receiving Abbey Road for his 10th birthday made it his own. He remembers “Because” as an eerie, harmony-led transition from the album's separate early tracks into its connected closing sequence.
Dig A Pony – Gary Kemp
Q: Your book about Brian Epstein and The Beatles, how did that come about?
He explains the book grew from Brian Epstein's 1967 address book, which was acquired at Sotheby's, and how Simon Halfon helped shape it into a narrative that reveals Brian's life through a network of people and events across the Beatles universe.
Dig A Pony – Gary Kemp
Q: Do you have a favourite period of The Beatles, or a preferred phase?
Gary expresses that he loves the Hard Day's Night era and the band's early vitality, but also respects the band's evolution into Revolver and Abbey Road, highlighting the shift from raw energy to sophisticated studio craft.
Dig A Pony – Gary Kemp
Q: First memory of the Beatles. Can you recall that?
Gary describes a sense that The Beatles' presence felt ongoing from childhood, with memories tied to family and culture, and how the competing narratives around The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones framed his early experiences.
