Linda McCartney: More than Just "Lovely"...and a Fierce Feminist Role Model
Tuesday May 07, 2019
Tuesday May 07, 2019
This week we look at one of our favorite people in the Beatles' story—Linda McCartney. More than just Paul's wife, Linda was a photographer, mother, musician, chef, and entrepreneur. And we think the way she lived her life makes her a badass feminist role model by example.

Beatles True Crime: Was Stuart Sutcliffe Murdered?
Thursday Apr 18, 2019
Thursday Apr 18, 2019
We're finally after a long hiatus, launching into our new season with a little Beatles true crime. Was Stuart Sutcliffe, original bassist for the Beatles... murdered? We look at the life of the band's original fifth Beatle, who died of a suspected brain aneurism in 1961, as well as his death, exploring four theories as to the cause of death. Was his death a result of a head injury? If so, did any of the other Beatles play a part? Plus, we go over some of the biggest Beatles stories since our hiatus, as well as our favorite things and some fun announcements!

What If the Beatles Had Passed the (1962 Decca) Audition?
Wednesday Jan 09, 2019
Wednesday Jan 09, 2019
On a freezing New Years Day in 1962, the Beatles had their first record label audition, for Decca records. It didn't go so well—the Beatles lost that contract to a competitor group who also auditioned. But that first rejection may have been a key to the whole Beatles' story going forward. We discuss the audition and ask the question, "Would the Beatles have been the Beatles we know today without that first audition and—more importantly—rejection?"
Plus news, history, and our unbridled joy over Paul's recent double bird on the beach!
