• 2026.06 The Beatles at Shea Stadium
    Feb 9 2026

    It is Sixty Years since "The Beatles at Shea Stadium" (the TV production) was completed. This week, we discuss many different aspects. Why was the premiere on the BBC, and why did it take "A-Beatle-C" eighteen months to bring the special to American screens. We talk the re-records, the fun and excitement and the evening at large! #madeonzencastr.

  • 2026.05 The McCartney Archive Editions ... Past, Present (and Future?)
    Feb 2 2026

    Marv and I go back to 2010 - and actually a bit before, as we briefly sum up the 16-disc "Paul McCartney Collection". November of this year will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the debut of the McCartney Archive series. If we don't get another disc in the series by summer, it will be five years since the most recent one entered our lives. Marv and I consider the past, present and future of McCartney/Wings reissues, and contemplate a physical-media-less reissue future. #madeonzencastr.

    Jan 25 2026

    Sam Whiles (Paul or Nothing), and "our own" Ethan Alexanian (Fans on the Run) join for a crossover, since none of us want to devote that many episodes to the revised Anthology! We join the boys in progress, as they move from August of 1964 all the way through a visit to the Philippines! #madeonzencstr

    Jan 5 2026

    Ethan Alexanian joins to complete the six-pack of former hosts as we consider the last 12 months (and a little bit more) in the world of the Beatles. Ringo hit number one on the UK country charts, Paul played three shows in a small New York City venue all the way through the tours, box sets, books, films and more. #madeonzencastr

  • 2025.51 Another Fab Decade (2025 - 2035+)
    Dec 29 2025

    More from (almost) all the Fab Guys. Dave Persails, Jon Stone, Lonnie Pena, Martin Quibell and me. We move from our discussion last week of the past ten years to the present (Ringo at 85/86 on the road, Paul "Getting Back" to San Antonio, New Orleans and other places, and then a little bit of future-gazing to our thoughts on where things will go in the next decade and beyond. #madeonzencastr.

  • 2025.50 The Fab Decade (2015 - 2025) pt.1
    Dec 21 2025

    In 1974, Capitol records celebrated "The Beatles Decade." This week, next (and sort of the one after that), we are celebrating "The Fab Decade." Original "Beatling About" co-host Dave Persails joins the Gab Four this week and next as we discuss a decade of highlights in the Beatles world - along with multiple reminders that "we did a show about that." (Hey, we have to be a little self-congratulatory). This week, "Get Back", box sets and Jon Stone goes his own way (sorry, wrong band). #madeonzencastr.
