            Knowing how our listeners like to stay up-to-date with the latest Beatles news, Ken Michaels and Darren DeVivo attended (virtually) Ringo Starr’s press conference in Toronto on May 26th, and offer a recap touching on Ringo’s new tour, his next EP, what else he got up to during the lockdown years, and his memories of drummer Alan White, whose passing was announced shortly before the press conference.

            Special note – Ken had interviewed Alan White for his Ken Michaels Radio YouTube channel in July, 2021. Here’s a link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI5FyfB8LaQ&t=312s

In Episode 366 of Things We Said Today, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren DeVivo take up a listener’s suggestion for an unusual game: for each UK album, we each suggest one track that would have fit comfortably on the previous album, and one that would have fit comfortably on the next album. It’s not as easy as you might think – or at least, that’s what we found; your mileage may vary.

With Paul McCartney about to undertake his “Got Back” Tour in the weeks before his 80th birthday, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren DeVivo devote Episode 362 of Things We Said Today to assembling setlists that are a bit different from what he has traditionally done, or that include songs he has long neglected in concert.
