Something About the Beatles - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve become pretty obsessed with this podcast over the past couple of years. It has seen me through many long afternoons at work and has added to my enjoyment of The Beatles work. Robert is a great host; knowledgeable and witty. If you’re looking for engaging and balanced Beatle content then SATB is the podcast for you.

Been a massive fan of this show for several years, but I've noticed that ever since it became part of the Evergreen Podcast network, someone has been going back and editing out all Beatles recordings from the episodes. These recordings were a crucial part of the show, often being sourced from rare tapes to illustrate points being made by the hosts and guests, and now they're erased. I can only assume someone from Evergreen twisted the host's arm into going back and deleting them all out of some half-baked legal concern, but this clearly falls under Fair Use. Very disappointing.

The best thing about Something About the Beatles is that it makes me think. I have studied the Beatles to a great extent and find Robert and his guests add layers of nuance to the experience! I enjoy those whose views widely differ from mine as much as the ones who hit the nail on the head! lol How many decades can this continue? Let’s see! Cheers!

SATB was the first truly in depth and intelligent podcast dedicated to the many aspects of the Beatles career and impact I can remember finding. Getting down to that granular level. Love it!

been listening for almost 10 years now! we are very grateful.
thanks to Robert and crew <3

the podcast is informative but the host comes across as smug a lot. I wish he still had his old co-host. He was a good balance. Also I think he over-edits a lot of the episodes. Sometimes less is more. I know he’s trying to smooth it out meticulously but because of that you can oftentimes hear multiple edits in one or two sentences. You can tell that because the ambient background noise changes abruptly from edit to edit. It’s not a dealbreaker but def noticeable. If such small sections of audio require THAT much editing, maybe it would be better to just re-record that part?
