John & Paul Ian interview

I enjoyed this and Ian was really interesting and looking fwd to the book, but when the interviewer was speaking about Paul of the 90’s and said “his uninspiring marriage..” Umm, what now?

Great podcast!

Overall loved the podcast, except the Andy Miller episode talking about the Hunter Davies book. That guy is such a tool. I only got thru 1/2 the episode before I couldn’t listen to his nonsense anymore.

Awesome, knowledgeable host! Great listen.

The best Beatles podcast

Beatles pods are full of blokes chatting crap! Here we have one bloke who lets his guests tell their story!! It’s my favourite Beatles pod. My only complaint it doesn’t come out quickly enough!!

Five Stars!

One of the best Beatles related podcasts. !
erikrocks!

Fab pod!

Joe is a very talented interviewer whose podcast has opened me up to many Beatles books which I never knew existed. He lets his guests speak without speaking over him or her, but at the same time asks deep, probing questions. Give him a listen!

Fascinating interview! Kudos to Hagan for telling it like it is/was. He sounds like a genuine guy and a treasure of a journalist. Even Paul opened up to him! Joe’s best interview yet IMO
Nancy DiMenco

Wonderful host/fascinating guests

Joe has vast knowledge of the Beatles and asks thought-provoking questions. The discussions he has with his guests are entertaining and informative. Highly recommend!
