  • 308: The Politics of Beatles with Candy Leonard
    2025/07/21
    In 2014, sociologist Candy Leonard published Beatleness: How the Beatles and Their Fans Remade The World. It was a groundbreaking work, representing a serious exploration into the phenomenon of fandom and the reciprocal relationship between artist and audience, and the impact that all of it had on lives - and the world - that reverberates ever onward even today, sixty years on. Candy has twice been a guest on the show (155: 1968 and 180: "...I buried Paul...") but for this conversation, we focused on the politics of Beatles: not their personal convictions per se but what they meant fresh out of the gate - what they represented and how they were received by fans and the establishment alike. In this talk, we covered hair (as a statement) - drugs - evolution - One to One - Beatles '64 - feminism - Taylor Swift.

  • 307: Borrowed Time with Alan G. Parker
    2025/07/02
    Director Alan G. Parker's newest film is a personal expression of gratitude toward John Lennon for being a figure that helped him through some difficult years when he was growing up. Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade includes interviews with dozens of figures who knew him; everyone from Aunt Mimi (archival footage) to journalists like Ray Connolly, Chris Charlesworth, and Anthony DeCurtis, plus writers like Philip Norman and Ken Womack and other figures of influence, like Tariq Ali. The result is an impressionistic portrait of John's post-Beatles years, created through the creativity that comes from working without official sanction. Parker's other work includes 2017's It Was Fifty Years Ago Today on Sgt. Pepper, plus other films and books covering punk acts including The Clash and the Sex Pistols.

  • 306: Beatles Olympiad - Glyn Johns' Get Back with Gary Wenstrup
    2025/06/13
    In late May 1969, producer Glyn Johns turned in a draft album, culled from hours of tape recorded in January 1969 during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions. His work reflected the original concept: catching The Beatles as they really were in the studio, with off-the-cuff performances of oldies, warm-ups, false starts and blown takes. It would have made for a fine tie-in with the original cut of the Let It be film, but ultimately, the group rejected the idea, instead moving back to their established productions values, with Abbey Road being the result. The tapes, handed off to Phil Spector, emerged in May 1970 with a new tie-in: the group's break-up. Let It Be, the album, drew the worst reviews of their career, being a neither fish-nor-fowl collection of tunes bearing Spector's worst impulses (choirs and lush orchestration) alongside vestiges of the original concept (studio chat and tossed off improvisations). In this episode, Robert and Olympiad partner Gary Wenstrup re-imagine the group's history - what if Get Back HAD been accepted and released in spring 1969, the missing link between the White Album and Abbey Road?
