I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast!

In this "emergency" episode/Song under The Microscope we examine Paul McCartney’s new single "Days We Left Behind" and discuss his forthcoming album The Boys of Dungeon Lane (out May 29). We break down the recording, falsetto vocals, lyrical references to John and Liverpool, and the song’s nostalgic tone, as well as ruminate on what it means at this stage of Paul's career. We also cover album details: tracklist, production background, formats and pricing, as well as Paul’s recent intimate shows. Want to purchase any items discussed?

In this episode, Dave and Chris review Morgan Neville’s Man on the Run, the new documentary about Paul McCartney’s first post‑Beatles years. We summarize the film’s release, Neville’s approach to telling Paul’s journey in the 1970s, and discuss the narrative, archival footage, photography, and contributions from all Wings members. Is it worth seeing? As always, we also read listener feedback and cover recent Beatles‑related news and releases. Enjoy!

In this episode we trace the life of "Act Naturally": written by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison, turned into a hit by Buck Owens, and later covered by the Beatles with Ringo Starr on vocals. First, we explore the original version, followed by discussion about why the song suited Ringo during the Help! session and what made their version stand out. We also look at notable cover versions (including a Ringo–Buck duet and a Muppet performance), and share related music news and upcoming releases mentioned in the episode.

In this episode, we discuss what makes rock music "psychedelic" and debate the Beatles songs that best capture the era’s "trippy" sounds. We rank our top psychedelic Beatles tracks (including "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Tomorrow Never Knows," "I am the Walrus," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," and many more), examine instrumentation and studio effects and of course the lyrics. We then cover news about reissues and Record Store Day releases. Mentioned in the episode: Interview with William Echard, Episode 172.

Happy 2026! In this new occasional series "Famous Covers," we'll explore some of the most successful Beatles and solo artist covers from a wide range of musicians. The first entry features a 1975 double-sided single by Elton John, covering two John Lennon-penned songs - "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "One Day At A Time." Elton stays largely faithful to the original recordings, but puts his own spin on the tracks. John Lennon himself contributed guitar and background vocals on Elton's version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and played guitar on "One Day At A Time." So which Elton John cover do we like better - his take on the psychedelic "Lucy In The Sky" or the more introspective "One Day At A Time?"

We are back after a hiatus to discuss the new release of the "One to One" concert from 1972 featuring John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Elephant's Memory. This concert appears in a beautifully remixed version that substantially improves over the 1986 John Lennon: Live in New York City release. But how does the concert hold up all these years later, and what about the set list, performances, and political messaging? We dig into all of it! Because only the concert was available on streaming (as of the time of recording), we do not discuss the other parts of the Power to the People box set, but we plan to do that as discs get released over the next few months.

We take a break from all the news to look at an album that sometimes gets overlooked in the Beatles canon: 1965's Help! It's not just a movie, but a great listening experience as an album (the UK version, in particular).

At the suggestion of a listener, we rank Paul McCartney’s officially released live albums—that is, no video-only releases, bootlegs, or unofficial recordings. We explore the pros and cons of live albums in general, how Paul assembles them, the bands he’s played with, and the song choices for each release. We also share some ideas for future re-releases we’d love to see. As always, we wrap up with the latest news (and noting the passing of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone) as of our recording date and some listener feedback. (Ignore the report about James McCartney's "wedding" - it was an AI bot story) Have your own ranking? Share it with us by email or on social media. Enjoy the episode!

We continue our occasional series looking at the Beatles American albums with a discussion of 1964's Something New. We talk about the track listing, the sound, the packaging/cover, and its place in the Beatles American story. What do you think of the album, and which one should we examine next?

Thank you for helping us reach 250 episodes! To celebrate, we're finally diving into one of our most requested albums: Back to the Egg by Paul McCartney and Wings, released in 1979. Long overlooked and still awaiting a super deluxe reissue—alongside London Town—this record has become a fan favorite in recent years. But is it a hidden gem or rightfully criticized? Does it deserve a reappraisal, and why hasn't it been re-released since its 1993 "remaster?" We explore all this and more, including a full track-by-track breakdown. As always, we wrap up with the latest Beatles news. Here is Chris's "Scrambled Egg" song reordering of the album. Check out Chris's recent interview appearance with Thomas Gouker and Brooke Halpin!

In this episode, we go back into the lab to talk about two "Yoko" songs by John Lennon: "Oh Yoko" from 1971's Imagine and "Dear Yoko" from 1980's Double Fantasy. As usual, we discuss the lyrics, the context, the music, and cover versions. Which song do we like better? Which one works better in context on their respective albums? Are there any interesting cover versions of such personal songs? We also catch you up on some more news (Recorded 4/19/25).

Apart from Yoko Ono, probably no other figure in the Beatles story is as divisive and hated as much as Allen Klein. Klein was brought into clean up the business disaster that was Apple, and to get a better contract and more money for the Beatles. After his work with Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, and others, the Beatles gave Klein a chance to improve their finances in 1969-70, with agreements that lasted for the next several years. In this episode, we dig into the background of Allen Klein, his rise to prominence, his work with The Rolling Stones, and of course shine an extensive light on his rise and fall with the Beatles as a group and as solo artists. Is he really the villain we've been led to believe he was? Or did he do some good things for the group? Listen and find out!
