When the set fell apart for an ambitious cinematic space opera that was produced on a characteristically small Turkish budget, nationally famed director Çetin İnanç had to think fast to save his film. What resulted was a domestic hit in 1982, originally called The Man Who Saves the World. Now known as Turkish Star Wars, it's a production regularly referenced as the worst movie ever made. Louis Harnett O'Meara uses an archival interview with İnanç, originally recorded by Turkish movie historian Ali Murat Güven in 2018, to tell the story of a classic in Turkish Copy Cinema - a genre that has faded since copyright laws in Turkey have become more rigorously applied. Presented by Louis Harnett O'Meara and produced by Hunter Charlton. An Ember production.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

In 1976, American toy designer Jim Swearingen was working at Kenner, a mid-sized company in the American Midwest.When a script for a new film called Star Wars landed on his desk, Jim was intrigued. Larger toy companies had already passed on the chance to make the figures."It was difficult from the point of view that it was a movie, could be in and out of theater in weeks, maybe months," he said. "It was science fiction, and toy buyers at that time had been turned off to science fiction because they still had a lot of Star Trek on the shelf. "And it was opening in May, which is completely counter to the toy business. We sold toys from September to December."Jim tells Rowan Bridge how he persuaded his boss to take a chance on Star Wars, what it was like seeing the film for the first time, and about the race to get the toys into the shops.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

On the 5 September 1986, hijackers took over a Pan-American Airways flight during a stop-over at Karachi Airport in Pakistan. The armed Palestinian terrorists wanted to fly the plane to Cyprus and Israel, to free members of their organisation who were jailed there. But, after the pilots escaped the cockpit, the plane stayed on the ground for 16 hours with almost 400 passengers on board. When the power on the plane ran out – the hijackers began to shoot indiscriminately. 22 people were killed and more than 150 injured. Madhvi Bahunga was a Pan-American Airways flight attendant, who was on the plane that day. She speaks to Tim O'Callaghan.

It is 50 years since a peace movement began in Northern Ireland spawned by the killing of three children. There had been seven years of sectarian violence. On 10 August 1976, Anne Maguire was walking along Finaghy Road North in West Belfast with her children when an out-of-control car plunged into them. It was driven by a member of the Irish Republican Army paramilitary group who had been fatally wounded at the wheel by British Army soldiers chasing him. Six-week-old baby, Andrew, who was in his pram and eight-year-old Joanne, who was on her bicycle, were instantly killed. Their brother John, just two-and-a-half, died the following day in hospital. The children's uncle, Gerry Grehan, tells Josephine McDermott about the life-changing tragedy and how it resulted in the Peace People, founded by Mairead Corrigan (later known as Mairead Corrigan Maguire), Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown.It was a peace movement which attracted support from across the religious divide. The sight of Protestants from the Shankill Road and Catholics from the Falls Road in Belfast walking side-by-side drew international attention. There were dozens of marches in other towns and cities including Ballymena, Londonderry, Enniskillen, Newry and London. Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams were praised by world leaders and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

In 2007, an abandoned photo album revealed the chilling normality of life at the Nazis' most notorious concentration camp, Auschwitz.The 116 black-and-white images had been sent to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in Washington DC, to be considered for their archives.In the photographs, SS officers are seen laughing, singing and celebrating, while a short distance away hundreds of thousands of people, mainly Jews, are being murdered. Among those pictured are Rudolf Höss, the camp commandant, and German doctor, Josef Mengele, known as the Angel of Death.Archivist Rebecca Erbelding tells Jane Wilkinson that the photos are an important reminder of how casually those running Auschwitz approached their work.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

On 31st October 2004, Uruguayans voted to enshrine water as a human right in their constitution, the first country in the world to do so. The so-called water referendum was organised by an alliance of residents' associations, trade unions, scientists, and environmentalists. Campaigners on horseback criss-crossed the country, they held community meetings in towns and villages across Uruguay and collected 283,000 signatures, the number required to make the government hold a plebiscite, which they overwhelmingly won. The campaign began when two local water companies were privatised and residents complained that those who could not afford the fees were cut off from the water supply.Six years after Uruguay's referendum, the United Nations General Assembly declared water and sanitation a universal human right and 30 countries have since included the right to water in their constitutions.Carmen Sosa, a member of the water workers trade union, tells Grace Livingstone how they galvanised the country.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

In the 1950s, scientist Edward Knipling began what would become one of the most successful eradication campaigns in history: the fight against the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that caused devastating injuries to livestock and wildlife across the Americas.Edward Knipling proposed breeding and releasing millions of sterile male screwworm flies to prevent the insects from reproducing, an approach that became known as the sterile insect technique.Using archive recordings from the Special Collections of the United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Library, Gill Kearsley tells the story of how Edward's bold idea transformed pest control.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

First published in 1980, the Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book brought novelty cakes to the masses. From the swimming pool filled with jelly, to the ghost and the 'choo choo train', its recipes became core memories for generations of children. Agnes Lee was part of the team behind the book, designing more than 20 of its quirky cakes, including the famous Rubber Ducky, which was later featured in the children's TV programme Bluey. She tells Helen Ledwick how a spur-of-the-moment idea became a birthday party classic.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

In Episode 274 of the Business Legacy Podcast, Paul Dio sits down with Daniel Scola Jr., managing partner of Hoffmann & Baron, for a wide-ranging conversation about intellectual property, the widening trust gap in modern communication, and the human judgment that no AI system will replace anytime soon. Daniel has spent his career at the intersection of law, science, and inventors, and the perspective he brings to the current AI moment is one every founder building something original should hear. Daniel opens by naming a problem most professionals feel and few articulate — the human connection has quietly drained out of business communication over the last fifteen years, and along with it, the ability to build the trust real client relationships depend on. Emails, texts, and voicemails are missing the subtlety of in-person work, and Zoom, while useful, still can't fully replace being in the same room reading a face. The heart of the episode is intellectual property — and specifically, the moments an entrepreneur most needs to think about it. Daniel walks Paul through the most common mistake founders make (talking about their idea without an NDA and losing patent rights the moment it becomes public), the story of his own father — an inventor whose formulas were stolen, which is the reason Daniel became a patent attorney in the first place — and the current live question of how patent, trademark, and copyright law apply to AI-generated work. AI cannot be an inventor. AI outputs sit in an unsettled corner of copyright law. And the hundreds of pending training-data cases across the New York-New Jersey and Northern California corridors are quietly writing the rules everyone will live under next. Daniel closes with something more personal — three kids under three when he was starting the firm, ten years of a punishing schedule, and the moment he chose not to correct his son's baseball swing and instead pointed him at Albert Pujols. It's a fatherhood story that also happens to be a client-work philosophy — help people focus on what's working, not what's broken, and let self-correction do the rest.

Eric Idle and Lorne Michaels teamed up in 1978 to make the greatest Beatles parody you've probably never seen — and it worked so well that Paul McCartney sent back a real letter saying he didn't find it funny, while John Lennon loved it so much he never returned his copy. This week on Cinema Psycho Show, Brian and John dig into The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, the SNL-adjacent mockumentary packed with John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Mick Jagger, and even George Harrison himself. We break down the Beatles history it's spoofing, argue about whether you need to be a Beatles fan to get the jokes, compare it to Spinal Tap and Young Frankenstein, and read your listener reviews.

You need people who have everything to show you that everything is nothing. George Harrison had wealth, fame, mansions, cars — everything material desire could want. And he said just sitting down and chanting the Hare Krishna mantra gives more happiness than all of it. "The response that comes from chanting is bliss — a much higher taste than any happiness found in the material world." Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that alongside the Yugala Gīta — where the gopīs at the highest perfectional stage are doing exactly what George did on a boat with John Lennon sailing through the Greek islands. Glorifying Krishna. In bhakti, the means and the end are the same thing. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.35.20-26 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

And he said just sitting down and chanting the Hare Krishna mantra gives more happiness than all of it. "The response that comes from chanting is bliss — a much higher taste than any happiness found in the material world." Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that alongside the Yugala Gīta — where the gopīs at the highest perfectional stage are doing exactly what George did on a boat with John Lennon sailing through the Greek islands. Glorifying Krishna. In bhakti, the means and the end are the same thing. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.35.20-26 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a pervasive topic of conversation these days, and recently it's been on my mind a lot as I endeavor to move past grief. It's been over 5 years since my life partner departed suddenly - so suddenly that when it was happening, and for a long time after, I completely denied its reality. We know that death comes for us all, and no matter what age you are it's probably best to prepare yourself, to make friends with the Reaper, and get ready to surrender to his scythe - (I heard that George Harrison used to rehearse his passing); Sarah Bernhardt slept in a coffin… but, very few of us are truly prepared, even at some pretty advanced ages - my father wasn't reconciled to his fate even when it came at 96. The last phone conversation we had as he waited to be seen at the emergency room was fraught with annoyed bewilderment at being held there against his will.It seems to be the primary topic of conversation that Rich and I are apt to discuss on any given day, and he has expressed frustration at my reticence to volunteer the dour details of my slide towards the inevitable, but really, why harp on it? Why dwell on the depressing aspects of life while you can still laugh ironically at those same concerns? Eat, drink, and be merry, I say. Of course, if you have to constantly watch your sodium and cholesterol while considering the lethal effects of the cocktail you're sipping, your options for fun will be limited. Anyway, back to PTSD… This week it's been front and center of my consciousness because I recently consumed two items of popular culture that feature it - one 60 years old, the other recently released - namely, Rod Serling's short lived 1965 television series, The Loner, starring Lloyd Bridges, and Christopher Nolan's freshly minted sword and sandal epic, The Odyssey. In both, the main character struggles with PTSD - Bridges' character in the aftermath of the Civil War, and Odysseus from his part in the atrocities recounted in the Iliad. Both men have experienced horrific and emotionally crippling events; they roam vistas rife with unremitting violence, and long to find home. Rod Serling transplanted his WW2 experiences to the Western genre, and audiences weren't ready for it's moral meditations, ill suited to an escapist medium. Regarding the Odyssey, Jon Stewart has reflected that it seems like a sequel to Oppenheimer, Nolan's rueful depiction of that protagonist's bequest of a doomsday weapon to arm mankind with the power to destroy itself. Echoes of PTSD resound everywhere - inside each of us, in the chaos all around, and throughout our popular culture. And, today I asked the oracle how to find peace with it. QUESTION: HOW CAN I OVERCOME RESENTMENT?The Oracle answered with Hexagrams 51 (Provoking), and 31 (Cutting)Let's examine those, along with a dream diary passage, and a song, “Cairns” composed during that time…Chemayne used to collect stones that appealed to her. She would then cover them in varnish to make them glisten. After she died there were tons of them, and I started giving them away as gifts. One friend was so taken with them that he took a bunch and built some amazing cairns, a term which I hadn't been familiar with, but which filled me with hope and pride for their future home. The following song “Cairns” evokes that appreciation. CAIRNS (Bill Mesnik)Stones banded by layers of timeStacking stone upon stone upon stoneCreates a monumentA tower sublimeMarking timeThese cairns of stoneChorus:Fly away through Arches in the desertTo a windswept morning beachWhere the sun glistens on the pebblesAs you soarSwiftlyOut of reach You left no lost communicationBefore your flight to the unknownJust some orphansWith no destinationLying lonely in our homeI'll stack stone upon stone upon stoneAnd mark the trail of timeFor some wanderer To wonder onWho left this cairn behind?
A sold-out arena, a humanitarian crisis, a reluctant Bob Dylan, and a rock star who decides the world can't wait. We kick off with George Harrison's August 1, 1971 Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden and dig into why it matters beyond the legend: the scale, the lineup, the nerves, and the performances that still hit hard decades later. From Ravi Shankar's role in sparking the idea to Harrison stepping back into the spotlight after years away, we trace how a friendship turns into one of the most important moments in benefit concert history.From there we time-travel 10 yearslater to August 1, 1981 and the launch of MTV Music Television, from “Video Killed the Radio Star” to the early rotation that helped shape the second British invasion. We keep the nostalgia going with a quick love letter to R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant, a “Jessie's Girl” origin story, and fresh concert memories that compare a chill John Mellencamp crowd with the roar of Rush returning to Madison Square Garden.

British blues guitarist, singer-songwriter and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Will Johns has just released his sixth studio album, On Top of the World, and this September he'll publish his deeply personal memoir, Bluesdaddy: Born into Noise, Raised on Chaos and Saved by the Blues. The title says it all. Will was born into one of rock music's most legendary families. He's the son of famed producer and engineer Andy Johns, whose work can be heard on classic albums by Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. His uncle is legendary producer and engineer Glyn Johns. His mother is Paula Boyd, making him the nephew of Pattie Boyd and Jenny Boyd. That also meant that George Harrison, Eric Clapton and even Mick Fleetwood were family. In fact, Eric wasn't just one of the greatest guitarists in history—he was Uncle Eric, and the man who inspired Will to play guitar. But Bluedayddy isn't a story about celebrity. It's a story about growing up surrounded by brilliance and addiction, fame and dysfunction, and ultimately finding salvation through the blues. Today, Will has built an impressive legacy of his own. He's been nominated for Best Original Blues Song at the British Blues Awards three years in a row, was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in Chicago in 2025, is currently touring with The Cream of Clapton Band, and this September he'll also perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Texas. In our conversation, we talk about what it was really like growing up inside one of rock's most famous families and finding his own voice as an artist.

On today's episode of Ask Zac, we are diving deep into the life, career, and brilliant innovations of one of the most important former Fender employees and guitar builders in history: Phil Kubicki.While many modern bass players know him for his radical, headless Factor Bass from the 1985 era, Kubicki's impact on the guitar world started decades earlier. We track his journey from building classical guitars at age 15 to walking into the Fender factory in January 1964, where he was hand-picked to help launch their new acoustic division.From there, Phil moved into Fender's R&D department, where he had his hands on some of the company's most iconic historic releases, including the Telecaster Thinline, the Starcaster, the three-bolt neck micro-tilt system, and Fender's high-end archtops like the LTD and Montego. Most famously, Phil is the man who hand-built the legendary All-Rosewood Telecaster used by George Harrison on the Apple Corps rooftop concert.We'll also look at his post-Fender years in Santa Barbara, his fascinating early partnership with Seymour Duncan (the short-lived K&D Guitars), and look at some incredibly rare Kubicki instruments and parts up close—including a very unique short-scale travel guitar and my own personal 1982 Kubicki Telecaster body with a great country music pedigree.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction to an Unsung Innovator: Phil Kubicki1:59 - From Classical Guitars to the 1964 Fender Factory Tour4:05 - The Fender R&D Era: Thinline, Starcaster, and Archtops5:27 - Hand-Building George Harrison's Iconic Rosewood Telecaster6:02 - Leaving CBS Fender & The Seymour Duncan Connection (K&D Guitars)7:32 - Gear Deep Dive: My Personal 1982 Custom Kubicki Tele Body9:06 - High-Stakes Luthiery: Routing Albert Lee's B-Bender10:33 - The Rare Kubicki "Vintage Guitars" Tele Prototype12:02 - Demo: The Early 80s Kubicki "Arrow" Short-Scale Travel Guitar15:07 - John Fogerty's Famous "Centerfield" Baseball Bat Guitar16:26 - The 1985 Factor Bass, Later Years, and Phil's LegacyGEAR FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO:1982 Custom Phil Kubicki Telecaster Body (Swamp Ash, Single Bound)Early 1980s Phil Kubicki "Arrow" Mini Guitar (Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Pickup)Rare Kubicki "Vintage Guitars" Contoured Telecaster Prototypewww.truetone.comSUPPORT THE CHANNEL:Pick up an Ask Zac T-Shirt or Coffee Mug: https://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.comJoin the Patreon Community: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AskZac Tip Jar: https://paypal.me/AskZac Venmo @AskZac#PhilKubicki #FenderHistory #AskZac #GuitarHistory #GeorgeHarrison #SeymourDuncan #CustomGuitars #VintageFender #Guitarist #Luthier #FactorBass #JohnFogertySupport the show
"I would believe only in a God who knows how to dance." Nietzsche didn't reject God — he rejected a God who was solemn, heavy and joyless. What he wanted was a God with joy in him. He had no idea that on the other side of the world, thousands of years before he was born, that God had already been described. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore George Harrison's idea that everybody is looking for Krishna – some just don't know it yet.

The term muse seems pretty straight forward when it comes to rock & roll. Some of the most enduring love songs like Layla, Something, and Woman . . have been inspired by these women. But each had very complicated and very different kinds of relationships with stars like Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Freddie Mercury.

Farming dominated the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek economy in the 1880s, even after gold was discovered in the eastern Transvaal but that was about to change. Last episode we heard about the early gold finds around Rustenburg which was part of the Witwatersrand Ward back in the late 1800s. Farms along the Ridge of White Waters had a fairly steady supply of water courtesy of the many springs that could be found along the ridge. Still, the freezing winters and the lack of wood meant the region was not in high demand despite water and fairly good soils. By 1886 dozens of diggers began arriving on the Witwatersrand, having heard reports of the earlier finds and growing tired of the limited options available in Pilgrims Rest. Others made their way from the south, from Kimberley or the coast, trekking on foot. Two of those were the George's I mentioned in episode 284 .. George Harrison and George Walker, who walked from the Orange Free State who had decided to chance their luck in Barberton. If it were possible and we teleported ourselves back to this time, we would have come across hundreds of other fortune seekers tramping across the countryside, determined to strike it lucky. George Harrison is a bit of a mystery. He was Australian, or perhaps more accurately, an Englishman who'd live in Australia and joined the gold rush there, failed to find any treasure, then read about the Eastern Transvaal Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest discoveries and made a B-line for South Africa. We don't know much more about Harrison's origin story. George Walker on the other hand had quite an extensive CV — born in Wigan in England in 1853, he made his way to Kimberley in 1879 but had little luck digging for diamonds. He joined a British cavalry contingent during the Anglo-Zulu war and fought in Zululand, after which he rode off to Pilgrim's Rest and Kaapsehoop to dig for gold. Coal had been discovered in large quantities in the Free State, and he first took up a job at the Witrand Coal Mine near Kroonstad, where he met Elizabeth Johanna Catharina Pretorius and the couple married in 1883. It was there that George Harrison bumped into him on his great trek from Kimberley to the eastern Transvaal gold fields and the two decided to try their luck one more time at Barberton. George Walker left his wife Catharina and children in Potchefstroom, and joined Harrison for their trek to Barberton. They broke their journey on the Witwatersrand, deciding to earn more cash to set themselves up with a wagon, horses and other necessities before heading on to Barberton. It just so happened that the Struben brothers were looking for builders around their Confidence Mine, which as you heard last episode, was somewhat of a misnomer. When Hendrik Potgieter and other Voortrekker reconnaissance parties arrived along the Vaal and Witwatersrand in 1836, battles followed, eventually the Ndebele were pushed out the Transvaal completely and ended up in Zimbabwe. The two Georges would have been aware of the Potgieter saga, but blissfully unaware of the pre-history as they wondered through Langlaagte Farm. Originally 2 260 Morgan in size, It had been broken up into four portions. In common with other pastoral communities across Southern Africa, Boer custom stipulated that marriage entailed a land grant or farm subdivision for every son. The difference is most African communities relied on the King or Chief assigning land, whereas in the Boers case, it was the grandfather, or the father. Portion A was owned by Andries Breedt, Portion B by Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder - her maiden name was Oosthuizen - Portion C by Gerhardus Oosthuizen, and Portion D by the widow Petronella Oosthuizen and her son, Jan Hendrick Oosthuizen. Portion D was where Harrison was working, building the widow and her son their home. George Walker and George Harrison strolled onto Gerhardus' Oosthuizen's Portion C property, when they stumbled on a well weathered outcrop of rock.
In this episode, Dave and Chris take a two-for-one deep dive into George Harrison's “Here Comes the Sun” and its lesser-known companion (or sequel?) “Here Comes the Moon.” We explore the songs' origins, lyrics, inspiration, unique musical elements (Moog synthesizer!), Ringo's problems playing the meter changes, and a surprise uncredited co-writer for "Here Comes the Moon." As usual, we mention notable covers — from the Concert for Bangladesh and SNL to versions by Nina Simone, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Peter Tosh and more — and speculate as to why "Here Comes The Sun" is the most-streamed Beatles song while "Here Comes The Moon" is a hidden gem.

1976 was a banner year for music. Some of the greatest albums of all time were released that year, and Mick & Jeff were there as it happened. This episode, they look at their favourites of the “Class of ‘76” - what was great (and what wasn't!) & why. In Rock News, the boys check out who's touring, and what aged care arrangements are in place! Their “Album You Must Hear Before You Die” is Paul Simon's “Graceland”, which brought African street music to Western radios and stereos. A wide-ranging romp through one of music's finest years!

I really appreciate it. 00:00:27 Today is Tuesday, the 14th of July and it is 8.35, I’m doing this, 8.35 p.m. 00:00:36 We are in, where are we, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, uh, Evans, Evans, somewhere in Wyoming. We’re in Wyoming at a place called, Evanson, somewhere, somewhere in Wyoming. At a place called Highway 30 Tavern. 00:01:03 There are the all-star games going on right now. I had no idea the all-star game was happening. There are, it’s kind of a dive bar, yeah it’s pretty much a dive bar but they do serve food so we ordered some wings. 00:01:17 We got a cup, we’re drinking a fine Corona, an undisclosed person and cheers. Cheers. Beautiful undisclosed person, do you feel like introducing yourself or do you still want to stay undisclosed? 00:01:33 Introduce myself. Do you want to give your name or do you want to stay undisclosed? I like to stay undisclosed. 00:01:38 We’ll call her, um, Legit. We’re going to call you Legit. I prefer Raquel. 00:01:47 Alright, Raquel. Raquel is the undisclosed person. We just ordered two Coronas. I’m going to make this short because I’m not going to stay here all night and do a podcast 00:01:55 but we drove, what did we do? We stayed in Winnemucca last night and drove to Elko, Nevada, ate at a Basque restaurant, pretty good Basque lunch, apparently there’s a big Basque population in Elko, Nevada. I think there is in Winnemucca as well. We looked for a dive bar last night and we walked around, we were a little bit afraid 00:02:23 walking in the dark but we managed to make it back alive. The first place we were going to go to was the Butch Cassidy Hole in the Wall, Butch Cassidy Waterhole in the Wall, something like that. It looked shitty, it had fluorescent lights, so we said, ah, we’ll look for somewhere else, maybe we’ll go to the casino and on the way to the casino we found the perfect dive bar. 00:02:45 I don’t remember what it was called, do you remember what it was called? Something tap room, but they didn’t have any tap, oh, the Cheers Tap Room, but there was no tap, it was just a dive bar.

Barry, Abigail, and special guest Jack Cornell discuss I've Got My Own Album to Do by Ron Wood and sample Magic Totem, Acres and Acres, and Motorik Marzen from Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing in Raleigh, North Carolina.Now-five-timer Jack has surprisingly never before joined us to discuss music he didn't write! He previously shared original music on both of our Christmas bonus episodes, Bonus: Greet the Hummels! Original Songs by Friends of the Pod! and Bonus: A Christmas Day's Eve! Original Songs by Our Friends, and joined us to discuss his work on Bonus: Friendship Wins (Jack Cornell &Tripping Animals Brewing) and Bonus: Cornell Exchange Hops (The OAK Team and Oktoberfest Beers). Give his previous appearances some love; they are a lot of fun! Also check out Jack's solo work and his work with Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass Kickin Team.The Wikipedia article for this album has a great summary of the fun story and impressive personnel list behind the album.Barry suspected that Far East Man (written by Ron Wood and George Harrison) is about Pattie Boyd, Harrison's wife and widely speculated to be the most written-about woman in rock ‘n' roll (Abigail mentioned Layla by Derek and The Dominos as an example). Jack shared that Layla was also inspired by the Persian love story Layla and Majnun.We played a bit of Freddie Scott's version of Am I Grooving YouAbigail entered Sure the One You Need (written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards) into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Takin' Care of Business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. We reasoned that this similarity came from a “common musical ancestor”; Jack pitched Chuck Berry. Evidently, an early arrangement of Takin' Care of Business strongly resembled The Beatles' Paperback Writer, which was inspired by Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode. Later, Keith Richards played in Berry's band for two 1986 concerts in St. Louis that were recorded in the film Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll.We closed with (I Wanna Be) The Drummer for the Gap Band from Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass Kickin Team's latest EP, Yeah Wooooo!Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group
In 1995, the British band Oasis released one of their biggest hits as a single from their number one album: (What's the Story) Morning Glory?The song Wonderwall was a departure from their usual music, but it has gone on to be one of their most successful songs and was a top 10 hit in 15 countries.

The Beatles (The White Album) (Apple Music) U.S Release November 25, 1968The Beatles' 1968 self-titled double album—universally known as The White Album—is one of the most ambitious and influential recordings in rock history. Emerging after the colorful unity of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the album instead embraces contradiction, diversity, and individuality. Across thirty songs, The Beatles explore folk, hard rock, blues, country, music hall, psychedelia, avant-garde experimentation, and intimate acoustic balladry. The sessions reflected the band's growing personal and creative divisions, yet those tensions fueled remarkable artistic achievements. Paul McCartney's melodic brilliance, John Lennon's emotional honesty, George Harrison's emergence as a world-class songwriter, and Ringo Starr's distinctive personality all shine throughout. Classics such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Blackbird," "Dear Prudence," "Helter Skelter," and "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" remain cornerstones of popular music. Uneven by design yet endlessly fascinating, The White Album captures four extraordinary musicians simultaneously growing apart while creating one of the richest, boldest, and most enduring albums ever recorded. (S5-EP23)
Our look at the tour on the verge of the controversial "bigger than" US tour of 1966. The Beatles run through Germany on a Luxury Train, spend two days in a plane getting to Japan, and play some shows that George Harrison remembered as being questionable, and took off for what is remembered as the most harrowing of trips. Pt.2 next week with author David Guerrero as we cover Manila, the Philippines. #madeonzencastr
Actor and singer Craig Bierko has appeared in movies (“Cinderella Man,” “The Long Kiss Goodnight”), hit TV series (“Damages,” “Boston Legal”) and Tony-nominated musicals (“The Music Man,” “Guys and Dolls”) and worked alongside comedy icons like Larry David, Bob Newhart and the Zucker Brothers. Craig stopped by Gilbert's apartment to present Gilbert with a birthday gift, to take a few personal calls and to regale Gilbert and Frank with stories and anecdotes featuring everyone from Norman Mailer to Bishop Fulton Sheen. Also, Craig goes toe-to-toe with Russell Crowe, turns down the role of Chandler Bing (!) and takes a bath with John Malkovich. PLUS: Wilford Brimley! David (or Bill) Huddleston! George Harrison sings “Oh! My Pa-Pa”! And the strange death of Parkyakarkus! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
What if one of the most iconic scenes in A Hard Day's Night happened by accident?In this Booked On Rock highlight, author and broadcaster Samira Ahmed reveals how a camera battery running low accidentally created the distinctive look of the Beatles' famous "Can't Buy Me Love" sequence. She also explains why director Richard Lester recognized the magic of the moment and left it in the film—creating one of the most memorable scenes in music movie history.

Sunrise doesn't last all morning, but maybe it'll stay around a bit longer for our episode on All Things Must Pass, the trailblazing triple album by former Beatle George Harrison! The Beatles passed up on a hefty number of George's songs over the years, and with their breakup he was free to create like never before! His proper debut solo record blends genres, explores spirituality, and piques interest like few records can. With Phil Spector's wall of sound production style backing up folk- and Hindu-inspired rock, All Things Must Pass is George at his finest.This week we're learning British slang, asking What Is Life, and Letting It Down! Will this solo record rise above Connor's Beatles score? If you really wanna know George, we'll cover his musical past (all the way back to the womb), his beloved Friar Park home, and his final message to the world. The Mixtaper is back with George Harrispins about thieving monkeys, botanical inquest, and trap shooting! Then we'll get a little Wah-Wah and a LOT of slide guitar as we focus up on this record, right down to the special Apple Jam ending!Which gnome are you? What's your favorite ex-Beatle solo album? Have you ever used the term "flumbertyjack" before? Let us know! And be sure to follow for the shocking end to the Year Of Redemption next week!

Mike Campbell is my guest on this episode of That's How I Remember It. Mike is the legendary Heartbreakers guitar player who stood beside Tom Petty for decades, and he's also played with many other rock giants - Bob Dylan, George Harrison, more. His book last year Heartbreaker is possibly the best book I've ever read on band dynamics, and he's just released a cool new record with his band The Dirty Knobs, called Mission of Mercy. We talked about all of this plus hearing the Beatles for the first time, meeting most of his heroes, the “it's just the normal noises” intro to the Heartbreakers classic “Even the Losers,” and gratitude. Great conversation with a true rock and roll legend. Check it out, and please subscribe!
Marv amd I return to George Harrison-land. We present the first half of our look at the music George guested on in the nineties. Some of our old familiars (Lee, Capaldi, Lynne); some even older friends (Carl Perkins), and a 1992 recording disguised as a demo fro the seventies. The slide guitar is joined by some recent news, including the latest from the quadrology. #madeonzencastr.
We are proud to welcome Rock PR veteran Sharon Chevin who has been in the music business for more than 4 decades. What began as a deep love for rock music became a sustaining career which has taken her around the world and helped her forge friendships with some of the biggest artists on the planet. These days, Sharon manages prog rock legends Yes (and she wants me to remind everyone that Aurora is out now) and Steve Hackett (she teases his new collaboration with Marillion's Steve Rothery) but has worked with and hung around some of the biggest stars of all time. Her stories are amazing and funny as she shares how Alice Cooper will work a 14 hour day as long as you give him a couple of hours to shop. Hear how she had to convince hotel staff in Germany that she needed corn flakes for Tom Petty and George Harrison at 1 AM. She talks going to see a new band at Hammersmith called U2 with Pete Townshend and Bruce Springsteen. Mostly, Sharon lets us know that most of the top talent are marvelous people who are great to work with. But not all of them are and she drops a couple of names onto the jerk list. But mostly we hear about how Chris Squire invited her to stay with his family after an earthquake or how John Lord would always drop by her local pub for a glass of wine when he was in town. She admits she fell in love with Billy Idol the moment she met him and how Bryan Adams talked her out of getting Bonnie Raitt's picture taken with Madonna. We're just glad Sharon is still doing PR for bands we love and that she's still sharing her stories of her rock n roll odyssey.

Peter Frampton, for goodness sake! Part of our lives at Word In Your Ear since we were teenagers. Played guitar on national telly when he was 14. Joined the Herd at 16 and Humble Pie two years later. Had the biggest-selling album in American history in 1976 and now releasing his first new record in 16 years. From his home in Nashville, he looks back here – with great modesty, humour and affection - at how he adjusted to such mountainous success and to “when it all came crashing down” while throwing in a winning impression of George Harrison. This too … … the Herd pursued by screaming girls across Streatham Ice Rink … when “the Face of 1968” (Frampton) joined “the Face of 1967” (Marriott) … recording with George, Ringo, Billy Preston, Steve Stills and Phil Spector (aged 20) - “where the hell am I and how did I get here?” … “I'd fallen off the radar and Bowie gave me the biggest gift anyone could give me” … the petrifying success of Frampton Comes Alive! - “I felt I'd be like a Rubik's Cube, here today, gone tomorrow” … the Scout Club gig (aged 12) that lit the fuse and playing Ready Steady Go! when he was 14 (same show as the Stones) … when his father met Mick Jagger … making the doomed Sgt Pepper film with the Bee Gees … working with Sheryl Crow who'd had a poster of him when she was 14 … and revisiting his childhood home in Beckenham.

“I do live here and now, but I often think about the past. But then again, I think a lot of people do. So I think writers, what are they going to draw on?”Mark Savage speaks to musician Paul McCartney.Born in Liverpool, England, during the Second World War, he found fame as a member of the legendary British band The Beatles in the 1960s, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in music history.McCartney shared primary singing and songwriting duties with bandmate John Lennon, and along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the four-piece became a global pop music sensation with hits such as Twist and Shout, Yesterday and Hey Jude.They remain one of the best-selling musical acts of all time alongside the likes of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.McCartney was knighted for his services to music in 1997, but despite his huge achievements, the 83-year-old seems to be showing no interest in retirement — he's releasing his 19th solo album.The Boys of Dungeon Lane is inspired by his experiences growing up in post-war Liverpool, during which a young McCartney, carrying a guitar and wearing a bowler hat to catch attention, would hitchhike with John Lennon to places as far away as Paris. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC, including episodes with Chaka Khan, Pete Townshend and, Paul McCartney's bandmate, Ringo Starr.

Paul McCartney's incredible career began more than 60 years ago when he formed The Beatles with John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Now, he's out with his latest solo album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane". In this week's Sitdown, Willie Geist gets together with McCartney to talk about his new music, that includes a song with The Beatles members.

Dr. Edwin "Ted" Bergin is Professor and Chair of Astronomy at the University of Michigan. Ted is an astrochemist who is interested in understanding how and why stars, planets, and living organisms came to be. He examines the formation of stars and planets to better understand the origins of Earth and life on Earth. Since the newly forming stars and planets he studies are so far away, Ted uses astronomical techniques to determine the presence and abundance of the molecules needed to form living things. When he's not pondering the origins of life, Ted loves spending time with his family. Recently, he began a quest to fulfill his lifelong dream of learning to play the guitar. Ted enjoys old school 1970s rock and roll music, and he is slowly working his way up to playing pieces like George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun". He completed his undergraduate training in Astronomy at Villanova University, and he was awarded his PhD in Astronomy from the University of Massachusetts. Before joining the faculty at the University of Michigan, Ted worked as an astronomer/astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Ted has been awarded the University of Michigan Henry Russel Award for his exceptional scholarship and teaching. This is the highest award given to Assistant Professors. Ted joins us to talk about his experiences in life and science.
