I really love this podcast…I’ve listened to it for years. But today, and in the past I really get the ick when Ed mentions the reactions of girls to the Beatles. Please stop. As a woman, it’s really so offensive.The tone of Ed’s voice sounds really creepy on subjects like this. Please let someone else remark if it must be remarked on.
