I think these are too over-edited. I’d rather hear the conversation as-is instead of the end of several words snipped, faded or rounded off. the podcast is informative but the host comes across as smug a lot. I wish he still had his old co-host. He was a good balance.

United Kingdom2 months ago - Fab. Just fab.
Of all the still-functioning Beatle podcasts this is my go-to for the kind of depth I seek. RR has that winning combination of both knowledgeable and ever-curious, so he is able to constantly harvest new insights from a wide range of contributors.
Long may it run.

This is my favorite podcast. Not just favorite Beatle podcast, but my favorite anything podcast. Robert is so well-informed and such a fan and amazing host that every episode is filled with a new take or an interesting guest or a fresh analysis. But you don't have to be a Beatles/Music obsessive to enjoy the episodes. It’s just great storytelling in general and a remarkable show overall. Bravo!!!
