In the mid 1960s, Alexis Mardas met John Lennon from The Beatles, and the self-professed inventor made an immediate impression. With outlandish ideas like an artificial Sun, paint that could change colour or a force field that surrounded the Beatles' homes for security, he soon found himself head of Apple Electronics. But just how many of these whacky ideas came to fruition? Recorded live at Oasis Comedy Club in Perth.
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 4:46 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
