A pop-culture podcast focusing on the music, films, TV shows and socio-political events of an unforgettable decade. Hosted by Erik Taros and Richard Buskin.
The Swinging Through The Sixties: The Beatles and Beyond podcast is a must-listen for any Beatles fan who wants to take a deep dive into the band's history and beyond. Hosted by Richard Buskin and Erik Taros, this podcast offers an engaging and informative look at all things Beatles, with a focus on the 1960s era. With their extensive knowledge of the band and their passion for the subject matter, Buskin and Taros deliver an entertaining and insightful listening experience.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts' thorough knowledge of all things Beatles. They bring in primary sources such as interviews and excerpts that can't be found in other podcasts. This adds a unique depth to their analysis and allows listeners to truly understand the context behind each song or moment in the band's history. Additionally, I appreciate that they play entire songs during episodes, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in the music that made The Beatles legendary.
The banter between Buskin and Taros is another highlight of this podcast. Their discussions are smart, witty, and respectful of each other's opinions. It's clear that they have a deep love for The Beatles, which shines through in every episode. This passion creates an engaging atmosphere that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish. Furthermore, each episode is a professional production that provides quality content throughout.
However, one downside of this podcast is its focus mainly on The Beatles. While it's understandable given their immense popularity and influence, it would be interesting to see Buskin and Taros explore other artists or genres from the same time period. This could add variety to the show and attract listeners who may not be die-hard Beatles fans but still enjoy music from the 1960s.
In conclusion, The Swinging Through The Sixties: The Beatles and Beyond podcast is a fantastic listen for any fan of The Beatles or 1960s music in general. The hosts' extensive knowledge, engaging banter, and deep love for the subject make each episode a joy to listen to. Whether you're a long-time Beatles fan or just discovering their music, this podcast offers a comprehensive and entertaining exploration of the band's history and beyond.
