BONUS: Anthology Roundtable Review!

After 30 years, The Beatles Anthology is back! The documentary is available in a newly restored edit on Disney+ featuring a new 9th episode, and the music is out featuring new mixes and a new 4th volume! The holiday season seems to be Beatles season nowadays, and we’re not complaining. Because what are holidays for if not for gathering with loved ones and friends? And that’s exactly what we’re doing for this bonus episode.

We’re joined by some of our Beatle people pals for a magical mystery chat, giving all our takes on Anthology, our own histories with it, our thoughts on the new version of doc and the new music, what we loved, what we missed, what choked us up…and for our longtime listeners, get ready because JULIA HAS FINALLY WATCHED THE ANTHOLOGY!!

So join us, Caitlin Larkin, Skylar Moody, Mary Devlin, VinylBenjy, Peter Lane (stick around for the end for a cameo from a special guest) as we talk all things Anthology!

Judge Timbers

Ranking the songs of the Beatles? What could possibly go wrong? But somehow this podcast gets it just right thanks to the wit and charm of the co-hosts and their guests. The listener quickly discovers the rankings are used not to incite heated arguments but rather as a starting point to spark a positive deep dive into every Beatle song. Put simply, Ranking The Beatles is a welcome addition to the Beatle podcast universe.

Required listening if you like The Beatles at all. Great guests every week and Jonathan and Julia are fun and genuinely funny (even the tired Mike Love jokes). I listen every Tuesday morning as soon as I wake up. One week around Christmas they took the week off so I just slept the whole week until there was a new episode. It was worth the wait.

Nice to see a truly excellent new Beatles podcast. This one is hosted by a very appealing young couple, who along with their well selected guests, have a winning combination of professional musical knowledge and the enthusiasm of fans. It’s an interesting format that by definition promises to only get better as it goes along. If they can make the “Only a Northern Song” episode good then they’re unstoppable
