I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast!

Episode 117: The Life and Music of Sir Richard Starkey

In this episode we step back and look at Ringo Starr's entire life and musical career in honor of his recent knighting. We discuss some of his key contributions to the Beatles, and then launch into a survey of his solo career up to the present day. You'll also hear a fun example of his TV work in the 1980s, and a clip from his 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Congratulations to Sir Ringo!

Episode 116: Defining McCartney

For this episode, we asked our listeners on Facebook to tell us a song that "defines" Paul McCartney as an artist, performer, musician, etc., and give their reasons why. In this episode, hear the selections along with commentary from listeners and Dave and Chris. There are many familiar choices, but there are a few more obscure tunes that present another side that "defines" McCartney. 

Episode 115: Ranking the Beatles' Cover Songs
