#119 - Beatles Anthology insider and archivist Keith Badman on digging for music treasures, upcoming book

Welcome back, everyone! I’m your host, Steve Marinucci — and today’s episode is a big one. We’re joined by someone who was inside one of the most ambitious Beatles projects ever created: Keith Badman, who worked on the original Beatles Anthology and is a veteran of major pop‑music deep‑dives. Keith pulls back the curtain on what it was really like to help build the Anthology, the hunt for never‑before‑seen clips, and the detective work required to bring lost Beatles and pop music history back to life. He'll relate the story of showing a found clip to a British singing legend and their reaction.  He even teases the subject of his next Beatles history book — a project packed with archival discoveries and now nearing the finish line. Plus, we’ll share a review of “John & Yoko: Power to the People” and wrap up with the latest Beatles News Briefs you need to know. Here we go.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at Podbean, on YouTube or on our Beatles News Briefs blog page.
