- My ‘Go To’ Beatles Podcast
I have listened to a lot of different Beatles podcasts but I have basically whittled it down to SATB. I generally agree with the sentiments (not always) but I just really enjoy the breadth of subjects covered. My advice if you are not keen on the early ones, try some of the later casts where RR presents them on his own. Great podcast.

United Kingdoma month ago - Love the female voices! MORE PLEASE
I can’t get over the multiple perspectives that are provided on this show. How cool is that. We need all these ideas to better understand our Beatles world…. And Robert brings that. Perfect? What is?

I feel like I just understand the field better. I also love listen to all the first generation fans and many of the female voices! Candy Leo... more

United Statesa month ago - Great Variety, Wide Topics
The best thing about Something About the Beatles is that it makes me think. I have studied the Beatles to a great extent and find Robert and his guests add layers of nuance to the experience! I enjoy those whose views widely differ from mine as much as the ones who hit the nail on the head! lol How many decades can this continue? Let’s see! Cheers!

RR is a fool.
Apple Podcasts1TecomaKCUnited States5 months ago - Great till you invite on conspiracy theorists
Love the pod but giving a David Whelan a platform to spread his unsubstantiated “second shooter” theory of John Lennon’s murder is a serious error in judgment.
