Your Own Personal Beatles – Détails, épisodes et analyse

It's our belated Christmas special! Friend of the show, comedian and musician Johnny White Really-Really returns to take part in our second Beatles Cover Challenge.

We pick a Beatles track for each other, have one month to record it, and reunite to discuss the results and what we've learned about the songs by recreating them.

You can find the full versions of the songs at https://www.personalbeatles.com/episodes/cover-challenge-vol-2.

Thanks for listening, and we'll be back later in the year.

Broadcaster Shaun Keaveny joins Jack and Robin this week to chat about his love of the Beatles. Shaun chats to Jack and Robin about his experiences with the band growing up, interviewing Paul and Ringo for Eight Days a Week, and we take a deep dive into the Super Deluxe re-release of Let It Be.

Comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton joins us to share his Personal Beatles. In this suitably rambling chat, Jack and Robin talk to Adam about everything from the Stars on 45 Beatles medley, the 2000 TV movie Two of US, recording his version of How Do You Sleep, and of course, interviewing Sir Paul on his podcast.

You can also hear some unheard audio from Adam and Joe's Vinyl Justice sketch with Ray Manzarek, in which The Doors keyboard player talks to Adam about Rubber Soul.

And if that wasn't enough, we also offer our (spoiler free) thought's on Peter Jackson's Get Back!

The Beatles: Get Back is available to stream on Disney+ now.
