I absolutely love One Sweet Dream! Diana Erickson certainly knows her Beatles and solo history well, the notation details regarding contemporaneous interviews she references are impressive and often send me on investigations that make me a smarter and more well informed fan. She has great overall perspective on “the human condition” and the dynamics of psychology, and she’s a musician so there are great filters and approaches in play on a few different and important levels. I don’t agree with her take on every little thing, but she’s spot on with the lens that a lot of Beatles biographical approaches can go on auto pilot and rely too heavily on biographies that came before versus digging into the story with a little more clarity. Her interviews with musicians have been a particular highlight, the episodes with Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, and Tim Heidecker were fantastic, always cool in my book to hear musicians I love reveal that they love the Beatles and also go deep in their knowledge and explorations. I also found “The Breakup Series” to be essential listening…again, I didn’t agree with every take or opinion, but I learned a lot! And I’ve been a fan for 50+ years and live and breathe Beatles knowledge, research, etc. Please keep them coming, and hearty appreciation for the fine work across the whole arc of the show.

In so many ways, Diana provides a wonderfully unique and thoughtful perspective on the Beatles and the interpersonal relationships that drove them. Every episode is thoroughly researched with contemporary sources and interpreted in an emotionally intelligent way not often seen in this fandom. This podcast has changed the way I see the Beatles story!

Such a refreshing perspective on this period of musical history — which seems impossible given the hundreds and hundreds of books written on the topic, and yet somehow it is true. So many authors bend over backwards and twist in every direction to find convoluted explanations for John’s actions that fit into the pre-prescribed narrative of “He was disinterested in the band (and Paul), and only had eyes for Yoko and #Peace,” even though they largely don’t make any sense in that context — and all it would take is to look even a centimeter under the surface to find the much simpler and human explanation for the actual emotional motivations that drove The Beatles, and the Lennon/McCartney partnership, into the ground.

The Beatles ending has always been a sad story, but somehow the even more devastating undercurrent of it has been largely ignored for over 50 years—so I am glad to have such a thoughtful and emotionally-cognizant deep dive available that gives attention to what, in the end, boils down to a tragic mismatch in wants and needs between two people who had great love for each other.

More than 50 years after the breakup of the Beatles, One Sweet Dream is advancing a much more well-rounded, more fleshed-out account of history's most talked-about band. I rate this work at least as highly as anything that has been written/said about the band to date. Kudos, ladies! Keep up the great work!
