  • Could be great, if only…

    When you’ve got one of the world’s most interesting topics, you’re halfway there. But that can be ruined if you insist on using bad language for no apparent reason.

    It can be ruined if you think you’re funny, but you’re not much of the time. And if you keep interrupting each other. You can do better if you just make some changes. Cut the swearing, be more selective in your attempts at humour and stop interrupting each other. Or you could ignore me and think that my views don’t represent the th... more

  • Love this podcast

    I love this podcast! I’ve listened to it for a long time, maybe a few episodes into its start. They’re not perfect on their Beatles knowledge and they know that, but they make their listens so fun and entertaining. I’ve been going through a difficult time lately, and these always brighten my mood once they start. Lot of fun and recommend!

  • Dylan Show

    A great show. A few comments: someone remarked that the lyrics are celebrated, but they are not enough, the music has to be there, and I agree with that, but it tended to be the afterthought for Dylan. Somewhere in his Chronicles, he talked about a really satisfying, songwriting experience that he had one day, just woke up and hammered it out, it just flowed, really satisfying. Then as an afterthought he adds, ‘no tune yet. Oh well, that’ll come.’

    Also, someone remarked that they cannot unders... more
