BBSO Exclusive! Behind The Scenes @ Egg Pod Live 2024

Season 4

Monday, July 22, 2024 • Duration 01:15:21

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.

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!

Monday, April 12, 2021 • Duration 01:10:30

Welcome to the Big Beatles Sort Out, a show in which I, author and musician Garry Abbott, attempt to finally decide my favourite Beatles recordings by scoring each and every one for lyrical content, musicality and production. I am assisted in this venture by my brother and resident Beatles expert, Paul Abbott, with a deep knowledge of the Beatles and the wider context in which they operated. Each episode we explore and score 5 songs from the Beatles full recording catalogue. The songs are drawn at random to try and avoid any album or era prejudices skewing the results. So please join us as we try and sort out, The Beatles.
