A Bonus Episode this week! On Our YouTube channel we did a special livestream that ran 6 Hours and 20 minutes! Andy, along with 2Legs Collaborator Kyle Hand and Beatley Tone (and guests) we complied an 11 song playlist for every Era of Paul McCartney's Career from 1963 to 2020 (Please Please Me to McCartney III). This is not for the faint of heart! It might take you a week (or a month) to listen to! We had fantastic responses from the viewers for suggestions. Many thanks to our guests: RussBeatle63, Susan Ryan (SRR), Eoghan Lyng, Joan Borelli, Tom Frangione, Adrian Sinclair and Boyan Archer for collaborating with us to come up with this playlist! Not an easy task and at 6 hours and 20 minutes 2Legs now holds the record for Longest Podcast Episode discussing The Beatles! Ram On!

Hi Everyone! For this week's episode we were delighted to have Tom Frangione join us! Tom is the host and principal DJ on The Beatles Channel on SiriusXM (Channel 18)! He is also a veteran staffer at the Fest For Beatles Fans. In the Fall of 2022 Tom interviewed Sir Paul himself! to commemorate the 40th Anniversary release of Tug Of War. Inside E272, Tom gives us the backstory of how this incredible-life changing opportunity came to be! If you aren't a subscriber to SiriusXM, you should be! They offer many unique programs with multiple hosts and talking points. It's not just a Beatles channel on shuffle!

Yes, there was GOOD in 2020...especially in The Beatles World! Hosts Jude Southerland Kessler of The John Lennon Series and Lanea Stagg of The Recipe Records Series selected six of the most outstanding Beatles-inspired media of 2020 and sat down to chat with the creators. You'll hear from noted author (Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of The Beatles, Maximum Volume: The Life of Beatles Producer, George Martin, and many others), Dr. Ken Womack, talking about his brilliant new book John Lennon 1980. Then, author and filmmaker, Jim Berkenstadt, fills us in on the new film that's being made from his best-seller, The Beatle Who Vanished on the life of drummer Jimmie Nicol. Nicole drummed for The Beatles in June of 1964 when Ringo was ill. The story is exciting!

The blockbuster band has just released The Empty Hearts Second Album, with Ringo Starr on drums during one number! You'll love this!

And distinguished author, Bruce Spizer, who has published 13 books on The Beatles shares the scoop from his latest Beatles Album Series, The Beatles Finally Let It Be. Bruce has always been a best-seller with works such at The Beatles are Coming! and The Beatles for Sale on Parlophone Records. This new book is no exception! And last but not least, author Andrew Grant Jackson drops by to talk about The Beatles solo careers in his hot new book, 1973: Music at the Crossroads. He also covers the work of The Stones, The Who, Aerosmith, and many more! There's so much to enjoy on this "Best of 2020" episode of "She Said She Said."
