Episode 271: Songs under the Microscope, Vol. 39: "Ask Me Why"
In this episode, Dave and Chris go back into the lab to examine the Beatles’ early B‑side “Ask Me Why,” exploring its unusual and sophisticated (for the time) chord progression, three‑part vocals, lyrics, and recording history from the Pete Best era to Please Please Me. As usual, Chris digs deep to find interesting cover versions (linked below)! We also catch you up on a couple of new items including George Harrison’s upcoming photo book, the Rubber Soul box set, and some recent Lennon family news.

Episode 270: Ranking John Lennon’s "White Album" Songs
Dave and Chris return from summer hiatus to rank the 14 John Lennon–related tracks from The Beatles’ White Album, including the outtake “What’s the New Mary Jane.” We discuss John's fantastic vocal performances, production choices, alternate mixes, and the songs’ contexts including “Happiness Is a Warm Gun,” “Dear Prudence,” and “I’m So Tired." And of course, we debate one of the most controversial pieces, “Revolution 9.” We finish by recapping some of the Rubber Soul news. What is your ranking? Let us know!

Episode 269: Our Thoughts About the Upcoming Rubber Soul Reissue!
The new Rubber Soul sets are coming on October 2! In this episode, we dive into the new reissues: Giles Martin’s stereo mixes, previously unreleased session takes, mono and U.S. albums, and exclusive vinyl and Blu-ray options. We also give you all the pricing details, bonus items, fan complaints, and whether the vault material still justifies the box set approach. We engage in some speculation (!) as to future releases as well. Want to purchase any of the sets?

Episode 268: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 38: "Here Comes the Sun" and "Here Comes the Moon" by George Harrison
In this episode, Dave and Chris take a two-for-one deep dive into George Harrison’s “Here Comes the Sun” and its lesser-known companion (or sequel?) “Here Comes the Moon.” We explore the songs’ origins, lyrics, inspiration, unique musical elements (Moog synthesizer!), Ringo’s problems playing the meter changes, and a surprise uncredited co-writer for "Here Comes the Moon." As usual, we mention notable covers — from the Concert for Bangladesh and SNL to versions by Nina Simone, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Peter Tosh and more — and speculate as to why "Here Comes The Sun" is the most-streamed Beatles song while "Here Comes The Moon" is a hidden gem.

Episode 267: IGABP Listener Reaction to "The Boys of Dungeon Lane"
In this episode, we've collected listener feedback on Paul McCartney's The Boys of Dungeon Lane, summarizing four core themes: the album as a slow burner that rewards repeat listens, praise as a surprising triumph for his age, debates about vocal tone and production, and a perceived lack of McCartney-style whimsy. We also highlight listener comments on standout tracks (e.g., "Life Can Be Hard"), track-by-track reactions, and a discussion of album variants and collector culture, concluding that overall fan response is positive and emotionally resonant. -Check out albums to buy, including The Boys of Dungeon Lane, in our Amazon store!

Episode 265: Review of Ringo Starr, "Long Long Road"
In this episode, Dave and Chris review Ringo Starr’s new album Long Long Road, produced by T‑Bone Burnett. We discuss the album’s short runtime, country/Americana slant, and notable guests (Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, St. Vincent, Sheryl Crow), and consider whether this feels like a sequel to his last year's Look Up. As usual with most Ringo albums, his drumming is great and his voice is good, but there are some inconsistent production choices, weirdly-muted guest vocals, and some repetitive or filler moments.

Episode 264: "Cool Ends": The Best Beatles Song Endings
In this episode, Dave and Chris explore the many ways the Beatles end their songs — from dramatic codas and long fade-outs to chaotic jams, unexpected chord shifts, and of course, studio histrionics. The Beatles have many "cool ends" to go along with their "hot starts!" We cover some of the famous endings in tracks like "A Day in the Life," "Hey Jude," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "I Am the Walrus," as well as some tunes that you may not expect. As always, we also discuss the latest Beatles news. Enjoy! Want to purchase any items discussed in this episode?
