El programa de hoy recorre hechos históricos y culturales significativos entre el 7 y el 12 de mayo, iniciando con el natalicio de María Eva Duarte de Perón (Evita), el 7 de mayo de 1919. Se destacó su labor social desde la Fundación Eva Perón, su lucha por los derechos de la mujer y su influencia en la política argentina. Una anécdota emotiva vinculada a un colimba durante el bombardeo de Plaza de Mayo aporta una mirada personal al contexto de su época. El 8 de mayo fue eje de múltiples efemérides: se recordó el Día Nacional de la Lucha contra la Violencia Institucional, y en el plano internacional, el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial con la rendición nazi en 1945. El 9 de mayo se celebró la publicación de la primera parte de Don Quijote (1605) El 11 de mayo, Día del Himno Nacional Argentino, En Debajo del puente reflexionamos sobre el Desprestigió de lo Político, Proscripción y humillación económica, un plan geopolítico para América Latina. Los segmentos musicales estuvieron marcados por artistas como Abel Pintos, Rita Lee, Los Tipitos y un homenaje especial a Aníbal Sampayo, músico uruguayo fallecido un 9 de mayo, cuyas canciones recorren paisajes y luchas del litoral. En la segunda hora, se evocó el lanzamiento del álbum Let It Be de los Beatles (1970), junto con noticias internacionales como denuncias de desinformación en Televisa y tensiones entre India y Pakistán y datos sobre el nuevo Papa León XIV El cierre fue con el blues de Joe Bonamassa, recordando que “solo porque puedas, no significa que debas”.

There is great spiritual depth behind the phrase "Let It Be." It presents the wisdom that resisting reality leads to psychological suffering. By understanding how perception is filtered through the mind and influenced by past experiences, we learn that true freedom lies in allowing experiences to pass through us without clinging or pushing away. Spiritual growth involves learning to relax in the face of discomfort and reclaiming the awareness behind it all—the consciousness that is always present, whole, and free.

Paul McCartney wrote a song as a reaction to a dream He once had about His mother, who died of cancer when He was only 14 years old. In the dream Paul's mother, Mary told Him that "it will be alright, just let it be." Today, "Let It Be" has become an iconic song, and its meaning has been left largely to the listener for interpretation. As we close our study of Nehemiah, it's important to examine His struggle to balance the responsibility of the things He could do, and those He could not and what that means for us thousands of years later.

[sniff] For the honest-to-God final epipod ever of Finest Worksongs, Matt & Matt had the pleasure of discussing The Replacements' "Let It Be" album -- which won final our "Listener's Choice" contest. Yes, the boys delve into the music and the history of the artists -- just like they've done on the 128 previous epipods. But this final one was also a chance to reflect on five years of fun -- and to say thank you to the Finest Workfans. Stevens calls this the "Kitchen Sink Epipod." Listen and you'll hear why. Thank you to everyone who has been with us since the beginning, and for those many new friends we've met along the way. It's been a joy and an honor.
Passage: 31 And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” 34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:31-38 ESV) Song: Take My Life and Let It Be (https://open.spotify.com/track/3Kb3kVscV0xfJtSZmXUlqm?si=21a01f3abb6d48f3) by Frances Ridley Havergal, Henri Abraham Cesar Malan, Paul Zach Lyrics: Take my life and let it be Consecrated Lord to thee Take my moments and my days Let them flow in ceaseless praise Let them flow in ceaseless praise Take my silver and my gold Not a mite would I withhold Take my intellect and use Ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose Ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose Take my will and make it thine It shall be no longer mine Take my heart it is thine own It shall be thy royal throne It shall be thy royal throne Take my love my Lord I pour At thy feet its treasure-store Take myself and I will be Ever only all for thee Ever only all for thee Prayer: You, Lord, have become my hope, my comfort, my strength, my all! In you does my soul rejoice. The darkness vanished from before my eyes, and I beheld you, the sun of righteousness. When I loved darkness, I knew you not, but wandered on from night to night. But you led me out of that blindness; you took me by the hand and called me to yourself, and now I can thank you, and your mighty voice which has penetrated to my inmost heart. Amen. -Augustine
Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark was back this week and we welcomed YMP listener and Patron Jon Pickles onto the show to talk about the time he was a 'tea boy' at Trident Studios in London. You'll need to listen to the interview to hear all about it but Trident was the world-renowned studio where, amongst unnumbered highlights of rock music, Yes recorded overdubs for their first album, Queen recorded their first two albums and The Beatles recorded Let It Be and other seminal songs. Listen out for stories about Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford, Trevor Horn and many more! A screenshot from the video below showing Trident Studios - note the control room above and the Bechstein Grand piano used by Rick Wakeman, Paul McCartney etc. What did Jon have to do as a 'tea boy'?

Echoes of the trajectory of the Beatles still reverberate through music today, and they loomed quite large over the rock scene in the early 70's. In 1972 a bootleg 4-album set of Beatles songs was produced called "Alpha Omega" which sold well when marketed on TV. In response - in addition to suing - Apple and EMI/Capitol Records produced an authorized collection in two double albums. The first was called 1962-1966, also known as the Red Album, while the second was called 1967-1970, also known as the Blue Album. The Blue Album was a compilation of Lennon-McCartney original songs, avoiding many of the successful cover songs the early group had recorded. Unfortunately it also did not contain any George Harrison compositions from this time period. The Red Album did not contain any covers, as the Beatles were immensely popular on their own by this time. However, it did contain songs from George Harrison and Ringo Starr along with the numerous Lennon-McCartney originals.The album covers are notable, as they are similar photos of the group at different points in life. The cover to the Red Album used an image of the group looking down over the stairwell inside EMI's London headquarters. This was a photograph taken for the group's 1963 debut LP. The Beatles had recreated that shot in 1969 for their planned "Get Back" album, but did not use the image when the album was released in 1970 as "Let It Be."The compilation project was a success, and convinced other groups to release similar retrospective compilations. It is also a terrific way to see the progression of the band in seven short years of their activity. WSB Radio's Eric Von Haessler joins us to highlight these two influential albums in this week's podcast. Love Me DoThe very first single released by the Beatles was this track and the lead-off track from the Red album. John Lennon and Paul McCartney provide duet vocals on this song, and Lennon is the harmonica player. While it is credited as a Lennon-McCartney song, John Lennon provides the bridge, and has stated that it was a McCartney song before they began working together.Tomorrow Never KnowsThe concluding track from "Revolver" is the concluding track for the Red album, and shows how far the Beatles have taken their music in four short years. They are utilizing techniques like looped drums, reverse guitar, and processed vocals that were new to the music scene at the time.Strawberry Fields ForeverThis track opens the blue album. The inspiration for this song was a park in which Lennon played as a child, and evokes a childlike innocence. The music style was a departure from the Beatles' previous style, and is considered the introduction of the psychedelic genre.Let It BeA profound piece after the psychedelic period, "Let It Be" is often considered the swan song for the Beatles, because it was the final single released before McCartney announced his intention to leave the band. The inspiration of the song was a dream Paul McCartney had about his mother. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Knocking on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan (from the motion picture “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid”)This western movie had a revisionist history and starred a number of celebrities, including James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan himself. STAFF PICKS:Kodachrome by Paul SimonBruce starts out the staff picks with the lead single from Simon's third studio album "There Goes Rymin' Simon." While it did well in the US, it received little airplay in the UK due to strict rules the BBC had in place regarding product endorsements. The idea of the song is that we fit our memories to our worldviews like we frame shots in a camera.Money by Pink FloydRob brings us the lead single from the monster album "Dark Side of the Moon." A rare song in 7/4 time with a 4/4 guitar bridge, the lyrics describe the desire and material trappings that cause people to chase after riches. Peaceful Easy Feeling by the EaglesLynch features an iconic song from the Eagles. It was written long before this time by Jack Tempchen, a prolific singer-songwriter, but appeared on the Eagles debut album. Glen Frey is on lead vocals, and the harmonies are provided by Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Right Place, Wrong TIme by Dr. John Eric finishes the staff picks with a funky tune from New Orleans-influenced Dr. John. It was the first single from "In the Right Place," Dr. John's sixth studio album, and was also his biggest commercial hit, reaching number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. COMEDY TRACK:The Cover of "Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook & the Medicine ShowWayne presents the comedy single this week, as Dr. Hook seeks validation by appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

Anoche se celebró el primero de los dos conciertos que ofreció Paul McCartney en Madrid y fue como vivir una gran parte de la historia de la música. Dos horas y media de concierto en las que no faltó "Get Back' (la gira se llama "Got Back"), "Can't Buy My Love" (empezó con ella), "Let It Be", "Live and Let Die" , "I've Got a Feeling" (con un súper homenaje a John Lennon), "Drive my Car", "Helter Skelter" (es una barbaridad como la sigue cantando) y, por supuesto, "Hey Jude" con todo el público cantando el "naaaaa, naaaa, na, nananana, nananana, hey Jude" (me acordé de Leyre Guerrero ❤️). En fin, que fue un regalo, que hay que disfrutar, si puedes, unas cuantas veces en la vida. Aparte, escuchamos lo nuevo de Circa Waves, Hipergéminis y las versiones que han hecho Valsian, Bum Motion club y Repion, de "Viaje de Estudio", de Lori Meyers.

Staci's guest is Chris O'Dell, the author of an incredible memoir called “Miss O'Dell.” Chris worked for Apple Corps and was in the studio when the Beatles recorded The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be, and she sang in the Hey Jude chorus. She lived with George Harrison and Pattie Boyd and she's the subject of Leon Russell's song, Pisces Apple Lady. She's “the woman down the hall” in Joni Mitchell's song Coyote, the “mystery woman” pictured on the Stones album Exile on Main Street, and the Miss O'Dell of George Harrison's song. She's even in Staci's latest book, “Rock & Roll Nightmares: Phantom Chords,” which has a chapter on the haunted goings-on at Friar Park, where she lived when she was working for George Harrison. She has a lot to say about Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, John and Yoko, and her upcoming "Miss O'Dell" documentary.

It's week 4 of Second Helpings, and this was one of our most memorable episodes yet! Question, how do you behave when you have a music icon on your podcast? Well, you have a massive fight in front of him of course! Aside from a small bout of bickering, we had lunch with Sir Paul and Mary McCartney and talked about 30 years of Linda McCartney's legacy in the vegetarian food market. We hear about Mary's adventurous childhood on tour with Wings, Paul talks about life after The Beatles and they share memories of becoming vegetarian with Linda cooking a macaroni turkey so Paul could carve something at Christmas. Lennie crowns them ‘the Vegeneers', Paul talks about his famous margarita cocktail ‘Maccarita' and explains the real way to eat Yorkshire puddings. He also offers us a step by step brief on how to make the perfect bagel, gives us a quick eye yoga lesson and reveals how the song Let It Be came about. We could have gone on forever!!

Forgiveness, resentment, bitterness go together. If we hold on to the pain in a way that makes us unable to forgive, we shackle our own hearts. Bitterness blocks us from the awe and wonder of our own lives. What if we were to Let It Be? Not let it go, but release the pain through forgiveness and see what the event is there to teach us.

As a songwriter, I could never imagine at this point in my life, putting out song a wrote at 16 or 17. I don't ever want anyone to hear that. But then again, I'm not the Beatles. who were able to resurrect one of the earliest songs in their repertoire, from well before they were even The Beatles. Though the song was in their early setlists for a long time, it never found a home on a Beatles record, even after taking a shot at recording it in 1963. But when nostalgia reared it's head during the Let It Be sessions, this song came back to the fore, and with Billy Preston in tow, it found a new life a scorching little rock song that fit the bill for the Get Back project perfectly. It's the most rocking moment of the whole month, and in their performance on the rooftop that day, for a couple of minutes, you see these world-weary men return back to the young, hopeful, driven boys they were when they first started. Even if the song has no real meaning, it's a fantastic moment with real electricity to it. Joining us this week are Allison and Erika from BC The Beatles, one of our favorite Beatles podcasts. We chat about their own Beatles journeys, the Beatles' invention of meta-nostalgia, Paul's sock game, Cruisin' Classics, and much more!

We knew the dame was trouble as soon as she walked into our office. That's probably what Jack Nicholson thought in Chinatown. We celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the best written movies of all time on Enjoy Stuff! Come along with an in depth discussion into cinema as we break down the iconic movie Chinatown starring Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and John Huston. News Atari's classic game Tarzan has been found and restored Some Alamo Drafthouse locations have been part of a bankruptcy claim The newly revamped Country Bear Jamboree in Disney World gets a premiere date Check out the Mortal Kombat ‘blood' filled soundtrack album Dick Van Dyke has just become the oldest Emmy winner ever!

It's a riotous romp with classic comic monsters like Morbius, Werewolf by Night, the Living Mummy and Manphibian. Time to get spooky! Shua has been very busy, but has high praise for the 1970 documentary film Let It Be, all about the Beatles famous rooftop concert. After all the work Peter Jackson did on the Get Back series last year, they were able to restore the original and it looks great! Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay cultivated some red plants with the Spielberg version of War of the Worlds (2005). Tom Cruise leads up this modern day (and more accurate) telling of the classic 1898 HG Wells novel. It made for a much darker and realistic version people may not have been expecting. But we continue to be grateful that those Martians caught a cold. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Movies! Since Chinatown was released in 1974, it has held its spot on many lists of great screenplays. Written by Robert Towne and directed by controversial director Roman Polanski, it tells the story of Private Investigator Jake Gittes, who is hired to find out if a woman's husband is cheating on her. But things get complicated quickly as Jake discovers that the man is a high ranking official with the LA Water and Power Company and is being paid to steal water during a drought. The corruption goes very deep and Jake is thrown into it much deeper than he ever imagined (pun intended) This movie brings the audience along with Jake as he discovers the clues as they get more and more complex. I was a noir film, with some of the tropes that go along with that, but it defied expectations of characters and plot twists. Film classes still teach this film as an example of great writing and when you watch it through the lens of good cinema, it improves your experience tremendously. Have you ever seen Chinatown? If not, stop here and go watch it. Now have you seen it? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Let me tell you what I think” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know.

Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Sympathizer has been adapted into a series on HBO/MAX. It's set in Vietnam during the last days of the war, and in LA, just after. The narrator becomes a consultant to a Hollywood film about the war. The novel is written from a Vietnamese perspective. "It's my revenge on Francis Ford Coppola, my revenge on Hollywood, to try to get Americans to understand that Vietnam is a country and not a war," he told Terry Gross in 2016. Nguyen's family fled their village in South Vietnam in 1975, when it was taken over by the North. Also, David Bianculli reviews Let It Be, the Beatles film restored and rereleased after being shelved for more than 50 years.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Another guestapalooza on this week's Empire Podcast, folks! First up, Chris Hewitt has a lovely chat with Josh O'Connor — not about his talk-of-the-town tennis movie, Challengers, but his new film, Alice Rorhwacher's La Chimera, for which O'Connor learned Italian and, effectively, manifested into his life by way of a letter. [20:12 - 35:25 approx] Then, Dan Jolin, our very own Planet Of The Apes expert, sits down with Owen Teague, Freya Allan, and Kevin Durand, the lead trio of the new movie, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, for a chaotic chat about rapping apes, deadly spiders, and bare feet. [58:00 - 1:14.05 approx] And finally, Chris has a heartfelt talk with Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the director of the legendary Beatles documentary Let It Be, which is getting a wide release on Disney+ this week after years of being placed on the shelf. [1:39:45 - 1:53:05 approx] Either side of those is a fun episode in which Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer, as they discuss the best films to be adapted from TV shows, review all three of the aforementioned movies plus Jerry Seinfeld's Unfrosted, and tackle most of the week's movie news, including the announcement of a Lord Of The Rings movie directed by and starring Andy Serkis. They'll talk Ralph Ineson as Galactus next week, fear not. Enjoy!
