The voice behind the vibe
“There are other Beatles podcasts that are great in very specific ways, but there is no better overall show surveying every aspect of The Beatles from before their beginnings to where their legacy may go next. Each episode tends to be a deep dive, but with such a broad back-catalogue there's something for everyone; whether you're a fan who likes some of the tunes to a die-hard scholar with intense opinions about the musical and interpersonal ramifications of Rishikesh. Choose one that seems interesting, and I'm sure you'll be drawn into curiosity about other episodes you'd never have considered. As the éminence grise of Beatles podcasting, Robert gets an amazing range of guests, some of them surprisingly important to the world of Beatles, and treats each one with unfailing respect.” ~ Apple reviewer

What Listeners Say
Recently found Robert and SATB through Twitter and following up on Peter Jackson appearances pre the Get Back release. I have been binging on SATB since December 2021 and taking it all in. Robert’s level of commitment and research is outstanding. I learn something new every episode and overall the podcast makes me appreciate the Beatles even more and I have been a fan since the February 1964 Ed Sullivan appearance. Thank you Robert.

I stumbled upon this show following release of the Get Back. I wanted to hear what people were saying and this podcast was the jackpot! Three insightful episodes with wonderful content. I liked it so much I started scrolling backwards and found the pre-release episodes but didn’t realize PJ was the guest! Just awesome. I will listen to all six multiple times!
