    312: Contentious Credits 2 - This Time It's Personal
    Oct 18 2025
    Back in May 2025, two hardcore Beatle historians haling from down under came on the show for an analysis of the conventional wisdom regarding Beatles instrumental credits and how, in certain instances, it was found to be lacking. They're back again, and this time we examine: "Long Tall Sally" "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" "Michelle" "We Can Work It Out""Paperback Writer"/"Rain" "Sgt. Pepper (reprise)" "Piggies" "Don't Pass Me By" "Not Guilty" Marcus Phelan and Andrew Shakespeare have been studying the recordings for decades, as fans and as musicians themselves. The sources critiqued included: Ian McDonald's Revolution in the Head Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions Kevin Howlett's liner notes to The Beatles special deluxe editions The public pronouncements of Giles Martin Learn more about your ad choices.

    311: Dear Beatle People with Sara Schmidt and Allison Bumsted
    Sep 28 2025
    311: Dear Beatle People with Sara Schmidt and Allison Bumsted Most Beatles fans are generally familiar with the story of their UK fan club, managed by Freda Kelly and depicted throughout the 2013 documentary, Good Ol' Freda. But the story of their North American fan clubs is, if anything, even more fascinating: their set-up was treated nearly as an afterthought upon the group's 1964 arrival here, and as they fumbled their way forward, hundreds of unofficial Beatles fan clubs sprang up, many of them doing a far better job of creating community and supporting the band than the official one did. (And then there were the sub-groups set up to police the other fans and protect The Beatles from their out-of-control fervor.)Beatles historian Sara Schmidt has chronicled this heretofore untold history in her book, Dear Beatle People: The Story of The Beatles North American Fan Club. Rich with tons of ephemera, photos and correspondence, Sara brings to life the immediacy of '60s American fandom and the unsuspected drama that went along with it. She spoke with hundreds of 1st-gen fans, collecting and preserving their stories of encounters with The Beatles, as well as the stories around the regional clubs around the country that weren't just limited to "Beatles." (There were, for instance, associated clubs for Beatle wives, actor Victor Spinetti, and a Beatle sister.) Beatles fandom is an area of study only recently starting to get its due as an illuminating aspect of the phenomena. Joining Sara and I for the talk is rock scholar Allison Bumsted (TeenSet, Teen Fan Magazines and Rock Journalism) as we discuss the history of American Beatles fans in their efforts to put their devotion to purpose.Be sure to also check out Sara's Beatle photo blog, https://www.meetthebeatlesforreal.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    310: The Beatles' Legacy with Sean Murphy
    Sep 13 2025
    Why are we still talking about these guys? Does a band that stopped recording together over half a century ago have any relevance in the 21st century? Have we reached the bottom of the barrel yet in terms of exploring every aspect of their story? If you answered yes and no respectively to the last two questions, press on, because in this conversation with author Sean Murphy, we dive into the continued appeal and inspiration that The Beatles gave us, as potent in 2025 as it was in the '60s.
