Hello! We have the privilege and honour this week to share with you exclusive audio from behind the scenes at the recent live episode recording of Chris Shaw's final 'I Am The EggPod' podcast, featuring interviews by Rob Manuel with EggPod fans and alumni, including:

Mark Lewisohn, Samira Ahmed, Joel Morris, Nadia Shireen, Jason Hazeley, Julia Raeside, Matt Everitt, Kevin Eldon, Jill Connolly, Mark Newlove, Eleanor Gray, Adam S Leslie, Chris Chibnall, James Marshall... and more!

If you don't know, 'EggPod' was a massive influence on us starting our show. Chris brings such warmth and passion when talking about The Beatles, and meeting him last year and finding out that he listens to (and likes!) our little show has been a highlight of my podcasting journey so far.

So, thanks Chris for the EggPod and for asking us if we would like to share this with our fans, and I expect, many people who will never have heard of us before! We hope you enjoy and please consider having a listen to some of our regular episodes from our first 4 series.

Yes, Paul has tried his hand at selecting and sequencing the mythical 'Black Album' or 13th Beatles LP from tracks recorded by Beatles solo or in other groups in the 5 years following their split. 

As there are 14 songs to go at, I've not included the snippets in the episode itself due to length, but you can hear Paul's playlist in it's entirety here:
