I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast!

Episode 76: Interview with Beatles Author Kit O'Toole!

In this episode, Dave interviews Kit O'Toole, the author of Songs We Were Singing: Guided Tours Through the Beatles' Lesser-Known Tracks and Michael Jackson F-A-Q: All That's Left to Know about the King of Pop. You can find Kit's work on her website, www.kitotoole.com and follow her on Twitter @kitotoole.

Episode 75: Ranking George's "Beatlesongs!"

In this episode (our 75th! Thanks, everyone!) we rank George's 22 original songs recorded on the standard 13 Beatles albums from "Don't Bother Me" to "I Me Mine." Dave and Chris agree on the placement and order of most songs, but have some wildly different views on others. 

Episode 74: McCartney Unplugged!

In 1991, Paul McCartney performed on MTV's Unplugged and released a very successful and unique album of the concert. In this episode, we discuss the recording of the concert, the setlist, go through the tracks, and wonder why Paul hasn't played concerts like this since.  

Episode 73: Our Tribute to David Bowie (with help from his friends, the Beatles)

In this episode, we take a look at the connections between the late David Bowie and the Beatles, particularly John Lennon. Bowie was a big Beatlefan and made references to the Fab Four throughout his career. Chris--a huge Bowie fan--leads this tour through Bowie's life and music related to the Beatles, including his "famed" (no pun intended) recordings with John Lennon, a funny story about a party with Paul McCartney, and his cover of George's "Try Some Buy Some."

Episode 72: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 5: "I'll Be Back"

We're back to start 2016 with another song under the microscope! In this episode we look at the 1964 song "I'll Be Back," a subtle and sophisticated John Lennon song. We discuss the lyrics, music, and recording process, and then check out a few interesting cover versions of the song. Enjoy!

Episode 71: A Year-End Gift: A George Harrison Fan Favorite Playlist!

On our Facebook page we asked you to tell us your favorite George Harrison song, and here are the results! We selected one song by each person who joined in the discussion and shared their reasons why they chose a particular song. Thanks to everyone who contributed, and look forward to more interactions next year.

Enjoy our last podcast of 2015, and thanks as always for keeping us going!

Episode 69: Rubber Soul Turns 50!

Check out this episode where we discuss the history of the Beatles' 1965 album "Rubber Soul." We discuss each Beatle's contributions to the album, the cover, the recording background, and whether or not it we think it deserves to be #5 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
