  • Yesterday

    Poor Paul it’s hard for him to get his due as an individual even after writing Yesterday, it seems. It’s hard to compete with the Beatles, I guess. Wow! Thank you.

  • The best

    The best Beatles content out there right now, and there is no shortage of content. Try his show gets to heart of the band; their songs. Goes into great detail from historical, technical, and emotional outlook. I personally prefer the main two hosts without guests, but the guests are overall good and occasionally great.

  • Changed for worst

    This used to be a fantastic podcast, but lately instead of really great details of the recording technical aspects and stories you get a bunch of talking heads telling their own person stories. I wish it would go back to the original team.
