The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame
The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame
1988 was an unusual time: The biggest Beatle was George, rock stars were dealing with the unthinkable (their forties),
people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.

Live At The Roundhouse - Part Two
Live at the Roundhouse - Part Two
In December 1968, Michael Lindsay-Hogg directed a TV special where the kings of British rock gathered to play their new material.
Unfortunately, it was with the Rolling Stones. Whither The Roundhouse? What happened next and what could have happened?

Live At The Roundhouse - Part One
Live at the Roundhouse - Part One
After filming the Hey Jude promo, and in the midst of recording the White Album, somehow The Beatles decide to eye up a return to the stage in the heart of London. So where should that be, and how will they pull it off?

George Harrison - Gig In Japan
In 1991, when so many acts from the 60s were lucratively touring, George Harrison decided to dip his toes in the water.
Why? Money. Where? Japan. Who? Clapton. What…could possibly go wrong?

Customer Reviews
Great Beatles pod!
Just wish they weren’t increasingly behind.l a paywall. But hey - that’s business I guess.
Bravo
First generation American Beatles fan (yes, I saw them on Ed Sullivan) here who rediscovered the Beatles as I was approaching retirement. (The internet helped.)
Why listen to NIR? Because of the hosts’ warmth, good humor and laughter even as they disagree; their incredible thorough research; the variety of their subjects ranging from the music (mostly) to the Beatles’ houses, to Stu Sutcliffe, and to even more than I thought I would like to know about Allen Klein. The episodes on Brian Epstein—including his death—were (like most) informed and tasteful. But never stodgy.
NIR will tell you what you didn’t know and do it in a way that makes you want the next season to start soon.
Plus, from this side of the Atlantic, their accents are an added delight. Five stars. Easily.
Best Beatles Podcast
There are quite a few Beatles podcasts out there currently. Most are not worth your time. This podcast is light years ahead of the others. The hosts are intelligent and well spoken. As someone who has been listening to, reading about and thinking about the Beatles for close to 50 years I appreciate the research these guys do on the topics they cover. I’ve actually learned things I hadn’t known before. I highly recommend this show.
