To such an extent that we don't know what the real public mood is.”The BBC's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg meets Dmitry Muratov one of Russia's most prominent independent journalists.For more than 30 years, he has been one of Russia's staunchest defenders of independent journalism, and one of the Kremlin's most outspoken critics. Dmitry Muratov co-founded Novaya Gazeta, the newspaper known for exposing corruption and human rights abuses - work that has come at a cost, with several of its journalists murdered.In 2021, Muratov was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts “to safeguard freedom of expression.” Since then, Russia's war in Ukraine has brought an even greater crackdown on dissent and independent media.In this exclusive interview, he talks about journalism under Putin, the war in Ukraine and the fight to keep telling the truth.

For more than 60 years, the Sunset Marquis has been far more than just a hotel. Hidden behind its unassuming gates just off the Sunset Strip, it became a sanctuary for some of the biggest names in music—a place where artists could escape the spotlight, create, recover, celebrate, and occasionally indulge in a little rock 'n' roll debauchery. In this episode of My Rock Moment, Amanda sits down with Craig Williams and Tyler Measom, the directors of the new documentary If These Walls Could Rock, opening in theaters and on streaming August 14. Craig's connection to the story began more than a decade ago when he co-authored If These Walls Could Rock with hotel owner Mark Rosenthal. Together with Tyler, he has now brought the extraordinary history of the Sunset Marquis to the screen. Amanda and the directors discuss how a hotel inspired by the Garden of Allah became one of the music industry's best-kept secrets, why generations of artists—from Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Slash, Dave Grohl, Roger Daltrey, Cyndi Lauper and many more—considered it a home away from home, and why privacy, discretion, and trust became the hotel's greatest currency. They also dive into some of the documentary's most memorable stories, including Bruce Springsteen's chance encounter with Ron Kovic that would ultimately influence Born in the U.S.A., the remarkable father-son story of George and Mark Rosenthal that forms the emotional heart of the film, the challenge of separating rock mythology from reality, and some of the incredible stories that never made the final cut.

As the son of Buck Owens, Johnny has embraced the responsibility of preserving the Bakersfield Sound while creating a live show that celebrates not only the music, but also the memories that come with it.We talk about why classic country music continues to resonate with audiences decades after it was first recorded. Johnny shares how his concerts combine the songs of Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, and Hee Haw memories into an experience that reconnects people with important moments from their own lives. For him, success isn't measured by chart positions—it's measured by the stories people tell after the show.Our conversation also explores the unique history of the Bakersfield Sound and what separated it from Nashville's polished productions. Johnny reflects on Buck Owens' partnership with Don Rich, the influence of Fender Telecasters, the storytelling traditions of artists like Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins, and why today's younger artists seem to be rediscovering traditional country music.Along the way, we discuss Buck Owens' relationship with The Beatles, the enduring popularity of “Act Naturally,” Johnny's new recordings of classic Buck Owens songs, and why kindness, humility, and appreciation for audiences remain at the center of everything he does. It's a conversation about legacy, gratitude, and the timeless power of songs that tell honest stories.Key TakeawaysJohnny Owens sees preserving the Bakersfield Sound as both an honor and a responsibility to his father's legacy.His concerts focus on creating memories by combining Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, and Hee Haw into an entertaining live experience.Johnny believes genuine appreciation for fans is one of the defining qualities shared by country music's greatest artists.We explore the musical differences between the Bakersfield Sound and the Nashville Sound, and why traditional country storytelling continues to endure.Johnny shares the fascinating story behind The Beatles' recording of “Act Naturally” and their admiration for Buck Owens.His new music includes fresh recordings of “Act Naturally,” “Together Again,” an upcoming Christmas release of “Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy,” and a full-length album planned for release.Music from the EpisodeAct Naturally - Johnny OwensAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form interview podcast where I sit down with musicians, songwriters, producers, and music industry professionals to explore the stories behind the music.

We've officially lost control of the microphones. Welcome to a special episode of Dadville—or as our daughters Zanna and Liv have rebranded it, Kidville. We thought we were the consummate podcasters, but the girls immediately put us in the hot seat to expose our deepest, most embarrassing secrets. We're talking about Dave pre-unwrapping a pocketful of Jolly Ranchers during church hymns so they don't crackle, and our classic grocery store panic calls because we can't find the basil. Nothing was safe—from Ringo Starr's lack of outfit "curb appeal" to the time Ireland's Starbucks cold foam tasted exactly like cardboard. They even recap Liv's legendary Shake Shack sprint in Chicago and grill us on our favorite child. Please listen to this chaotic takeover, buy their upcoming merchandise, and cast Zanna in a movie because she's officially "nice and famous"!

Listen. Do you hear that? Those are crickets. Crickets at the Marriott Suites O'Hare, abandoned site of Chicago's Fest for Beatles Fans. Unfortunately, there are no humans at this year's festival as it has been postponed to retool. #KitO'ReToole Some of the crickets are in ill-fitting Sgt Pepper costumes, others don obscure Beatles ephemera while wacking tambos to off-key “Yellow Submarine” singalongs, and a small number of lonely small-minded crickets are still wearing their pit-stained anti-Yoko t-shirts, repping for the original incels. Oh and look! There's even an aphid who's a Pete Best Look-A-Like and a corn weevil that's dressed up like Freddy Krueger for reasons unknown. As all the bugs scramble for crumbs of pre-packaged microwaveable hoagies while waiting for “Termites from Midge Ure's Tour Bus” to perform a medley of deep cuts from Press To Play, the Goys of Dum Dum Lame, joined by Producer Casey, are here to gab sad about this year's absence of fab community celebration. Let's take a few questions from the crickets:

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Johnny Owens, son of country music legend Buck Owens, as he reflects on his father's life, music, and the legacy he left behind. For Johnny, one word captures much of what mattered to his father: true. Buck Owens helped define the Bakersfield Sound, bringing a distinctive California edge to country music while remaining committed to what he believed country music should be. Johnny says his father appreciated many different kinds of music, but staying true to country remained at the heart of his work. That influence stretched far beyond Bakersfield. Buck's recording of “Act Naturally” became a country classic, and The Beatles later recorded the song with Ringo Starr singing lead, introducing it to another enormous audience. Decades later, Johnny still sees his father's influence in the music people are discovering, streaming, and making today. Songs like “Made in Japan” continue to connect with listeners and inspire artists who came long after Buck first recorded them. For Johnny, that's an important part of his father's legacy. Buck Owens knew his sound, believed in it, & stayed true to it. This MADM is brought to you by Singing River Dentistry, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.

60 years ago, in August 1966, London was being called "Swinging London" -- the home of Twiggy, James Bond, Pop Art, mini-skirts, and the site of England's only World Cup championship (in July). It was also the home of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr who went into Abbey Road Studios in April to record an album that would redefine what popular music could be. From radically new recording techniques to non-western musical influences, The Beatles raised the bar with Revolver. And Randy Renaud marks its 60th anniversary with the story behind its recording, on this week's edition of the Chronicles of Rock.

The Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr.

‘Their love was so innocent, so sweet, so organic and we just wanted them to end up together because even they knew that some of the queer films always end in tragedy and they were worried that something like that's going to happen but that didn't happen and so people were really happy with it.' Nikki Bedi speaks to Rohan Kanawade, the acclaimed director whose debut feature Cactus Pears or Sabar Bonda, made history as the first Marathi-language film to premiere at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. It also became the first Indian drama to win the festival's International Grand Jury Prize. Set in Kanawade's home state of Maharashtra, Cactus Pears is a groundbreaking Marathi-language love story between two men. Drawing on his experience of mourning his father, he reveals how grief, memory and identity found their way into his film. He also talks about growing up in a poor area of Mumbai with parents who accepted and supported his sexuality.Thank you to the Arts Hour team for their help in making this programme.

You Won't Believe Who Pulled Up Beside the Beatles Tour Bus—Plus the Listener Everyone Fell in Love With What would you do if you looked out your window and saw Paul McCartney waving at you—and then realized he was talking to Ringo Starr? This episode of The JB and Sandy Show is packed with unforgettable stories, Austin history, and one of the most entertaining listener calls we've heard in a long time. JB and Sandy dive into the exciting news that Austin resident Woody Harrelson is producing a documentary about the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters, the iconic venue that helped shape Austin's music identity. From Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings to Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, and AC/DC's first U.S. performance, the conversation explores the venue's incredible impact and why its legacy still resonates today. Then, Tricia shares a jaw-dropping story about Beatles superfans touring Liverpool when their bus unexpectedly pulled up next to Paul McCartney himself. As if that weren't enough, Sir Paul revealed he was on the phone with Ringo Starr, creating a once-in-a-lifetime moment for everyone onboard. The fun keeps rolling as JB recalls his own surreal celebrity encounter involving wrestling legends Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, leading to a hilarious discussion about those bizarre moments where reality feels stranger than fiction. The crew also searches for Austin's biggest collectors during another edition of the Amazing Book of Records, featuring everything from vintage porcelain signs and rare comic books to meaningful sticker collections. One listener reveals a collection valued at well over six figures, while another shares a comic collection with a single issue worth thousands. But the standout moment of the morning belongs to a new listener from New Orleans named Dixie, whose larger-than-life personality instantly won over the entire show. Her unforgettable stories, colorful commentary, and signature “my baby” greetings created one of the most memorable calls in JB and Sandy history. Memorable Quotes: “It was only open for 10 years, and people still talk about it.” “You know what, my baby? Come on down and give me a hug.” “It isn't that the wind is blowing. It's what the wind is blowing.” If you love great storytelling, fascinating Austin history, unexpected celebrity encounters, and the kind of listener moments that make live radio special, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Subscribe, leave a review, and share the podcast with a friend so you never miss another unforgettable morning with JB, Sandy, and Tricia.

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry cover a Mets win, looming lockout fears, dropping Netflix ratings, and bizarre celebrity lookalikes. Next, amid shark sightings and smoky air, they dive into Ringo Starr's tour, Lamar Jackson's ranking drop, and Oz the Mentalist's tricks. The Canadian wildfire smoke continues to ruin beach plans as the guys discuss Claude Lemieux's death, Eli Manning's new show, and Gio's free Delta flight. Finally, the hazy weather sparks a debate on making decisions, followed by C-Lo's updates on Giannis joining the Heat, Joe Flacco's trophies, loud studio construction noise, and a grim WFAN PSA to wrap up the week.

Skip the ocean due to a shark and breathe in the smoky air that is ruining the good weather. At 84, Ringo Starr is touring again, while the player-voted NFL Top 100 drops Lamar Jackson 67 spots as opponents lose their fear. Boomer & Gio hit Netflix's Quarterback, though Gio says it and Hard Knocks aren't must-watch TV anymore. C-Lo's update brings Lindor's terrible throw, Baty's homer, Christian Scott on the air quality, Baker Mayfield going at Jalen Carter, and The Roommates podcast at Fanatics-Fest. Finally, Gio recalls spotting Oz The Mentalist's tricks during his visit but refusing to expose him the way Pablo Torre did.

We talked about Ringo Starr going on tour again and he's 84. We also talked about the NFL Top 100 list, which Gio likes because the players vote on it. Lamar Jackson dropped 67 spots this year, which means his opponents are no longer afraid of him.

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)

Hello and welcome to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury, presented by the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're kicking off our new season with a fantastic guest: Don Was. Was' CV is stunning. In addition to his genre-bending work with Was (Not Was), Don has collaborated with some of the most respected artists in music history: Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones, The B-52s, Ringo Starr, Roy Orbison…the list could go on. These days, you can find Don with his band, The Pan-Detroit Ensemble, whose latest album is called Groove in the Face of Adversity, and behind the desk at Blue Note Records—he's been the president of the legendary jazz label since 2011.  But Don has joined us today to talk about one of his very first recording projects: Ted Lucas' Impossible Love, an unheard album he cut with the cult Detroit songwriter in 1979. Impossible Love is part of Third Man Records' new collection of Lucas gold, Images of Life. Following their reissue of his stoned folk classic 1975 LP, Third Man Records has unlocked the vault, offering a comprehensive look at one of the late '60s and '70s' most dynamic Detroit talents. Spanning Lucas' career, the set includes recordings by Lucas' early regional sensations like The Spike Drivers, The Misty Wizards, and The Horny Toads, acoustic demos, and his long-lost second album, produced by Was.  Don joined us to discuss his time with Ted–including a disastrous gig they played with Black Sabbath—and help us uncover this lost Motor City counter culture story. And that's not all—Don also reflected on his work with the late bandmate Bob Weir, the legacy of the Dead, and of course, his work on Garth Brooks' ill-fated 1999 Chris Gaines project. That's right: we went there. So roll up your sleeves and let's get to it, Don Was on Transmissions.

“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 Sandown Clown | Paranormal Podcast This episode we dove into one of the strangest and most uniquely bizarre encounters in UK paranormal history, the Sandown Clown, where in May of 1973, two children on the Isle of Wight followed an unsettling wailing sound across a golf course and a marsh, only to find a seven-foot-tall, no-neck, bone-white, three-fingered entity in a yellow pointed hat living under a bridge who dropped a book in a creek, gave them a wave, and then invited them inside his metal shed for what ended up being a very long and surprisingly cordial conversation. We went through every possible theory for what Sam could have been — a very method-acting, very high Ringo Starr filming a movie nearby, an alien scout afraid of humans who found children to be the least threatening study subjects, and Charlie's personal favorite, a Fae entity operating by his own bizarre logic in a liminal space between dimensions, which explains the bridge, the enchantment, the mechanical speech, and why the child just was not scared at all. Episode Keywords: Sandown Clown, Isle of Wight paranormal, UK UFO encounters, high strangeness cryptid, fae entity encounter, alien scout theory, paranormal children encounter, believing the bizarre podcast, Sandown clown 1973, uncanny valley entity, liminal space paranormal, fae folklore Britain, British UFO Research Association, paranormal clown sighting, alien mimicry theory

“This is a calling. It's bigger than anything in your life as an individual. If you found the thing that you were put on this planet to do, and a lot of people are put on this planet and they don't know, it's such a gift to find it.”Nick Grimshaw and Annie Macmanus speak to global music icon Chaka Khan about her life and career.Born Yvette Marie Stevens in the US city of Chicago in 1953, her big break came at the age of 20 when her band Rufus signed its first record deal. With her powerful vocals and striking stage presence, she quickly caught the public's attention.The band enjoyed commercial and critical success in the years that followed, before Chaka decided to go it alone around a decade later… a decision which transformed her life and career.Worldwide hits such as I'm Every Woman and I Feel For You followed, as well as collaborations with legends like Whitney Houston and Prince, multiple Grammy Awards, and an induction into the Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame.As a new musical telling her story begins its run, the 73-year-old has a lot to reflect on.Thank you to the Sidetracked team for their help in making this programme.

“Our best reply to the regime is that they didn't make us bad people. That we remain focused on our dream of seeing a free Venezuela. I have seen other people become very bitter and angry and resentful. And I think they lose. Because when you become angry you become, in a way, a prisoner of a sentiment that doesn't allow you to go forward.” James Menendez speaks to Leopoldo Lopez, once the most prominent face of Venezuela's opposition, he is now living in exile in Spain. He spent more than a decade attempting to unseat Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian government and was imprisoned for over three years, accused of inciting the 2014 anti-government protests. Following the capture and arrest of Maduro by US forces in January, the country has entered a new and uncertain phase, with Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez now acting as interim leader. Leopoldo Lopez talks to us about the prospect of elections in Venezuela and the personal cost of standing up for political change.

Bob Spitz has written major biographies of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, and now the Rolling Stones — but also, somehow, Ronald Reagan and Julia Child. In rock, his credentials were hard won: he started out hustling gigs for an unknown Bruce Springsteen for six years, moved on to handling Elton John's American business, and spent long enough in the world to find himself jamming with Paul McCartney and chatting with Bob Dylan on a stoop in the Village. The Reagan and Julia Child books are harder to explain, and perhaps that's the point—Spitz seems to do his best work when he has no business writing the book at all. Tyler and Bob discuss how the Stones became so great so quickly, what they added to the blues, how their melodies stack up against the Beatles', whether Exile on Main Street deserves its canonical status, which songs are most underrated, what Charlie Watts actually got out of playing in a rock band, the rise and fall of Brian Jones, how the Stones outlasted nearly everyone, the influence of Mick's London School of Economics training, why popular music has lost its cultural influence, what we should still be asking Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, whether the Beatles' breakup was good for the world, how senile Reagan really was in his second term and whether he was ever truly a communist, how good a cook Julia Child actually was, his next book on Lennon's second act, and much more.

Ringo Starr joins for a wide-ranging conversation that blends music history, storytelling, and pure joy. They reflect on his time with The Beatles and shares never-before-heard stories behind iconic tracks like “Come Together” and “Strawberry Fields Forever.” He dives into his intuitive drumming style, why he “never plays the same thing twice,” and how some of the band's most legendary moments came together by accident. Plus, Ringo talks about his new album Long, Long Road, working with T-Bone, and why country, blues, and Motown continue to shape his sound.
