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.

Welcome to the 3rd Big Beatles Sort Out bonus episode! We like to do these every 10 episodes to take a deeper dive into listener questions and take a look at the Album stats so far!

This bonus episode we tackle the TV listings on the day(s) of the Sgt Pepper release, a rapid fire listener question round and a sneaky look at some of the songs still left to appear.

If for some insane reason you are listening to this without having heard any of the normal episodes, I would suggest you stop it and do that first!
