For those of us above a certain age, the biggest expectation of the 2025 Disney+ (sort of, but not quite "A-Beatle-C") Beatles Anthology would be the new episode.    Now we have it!    Does it live up to expectations, is it a disappointment or somewhere in-between.    Tune in for the opinion of Two of Us (writing letters on a Facebook wall!).   #madeonzencastr

Marv and I are joined (for the second time this year) by Luca Perasi, as he has released a new book "Back to the Egg: The Story of Wings' Last Album".     The break between Turkey and Ham (or Green Beans and Tofu) is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a look back at 1979, and some Eggs (or two or three)!  #madeonzencastr.

As promised, our thoughts on the second CD of "Anthology 4" (sides 4-6), along with details on Paul's Canada run surprises, the closing shows in Chicago including a report from "The Queen of All Beatles Media" Kit O'Toole, and a blink-and-you'll miss him cameo from Martin Quibell himself! #madeonzencastr 

Mitch Axelrod joins Jon Stone and I as we discuss the first CD of "Anthology 4" (aka: "The one with most of the new stuff").        Plenty of George Martin discussion, thoughts on "Nowhere Man" and "In My Life", along with the ultimate question - "What was up with George's guitar on [both the rehearsal and released] 'All You Need is Love'".   #madeonencastr.

Lonnie and I discuss the many aspects of fandom and the Beatles with Director/Producer/Author Simon Weitzman.    His new film: A Love Letter to the Beatles is available on Amazon, and will be streaming in other places very soon!    #madeonzencastr

A "Toppermost of the Poppermost" crossover!     Jon Stone, Martin Quibell, and friend of the show Darin Murphy join me as we discuss the Beatles and Bob Dylan.       From 1967 to the 2020's, the Beatles (both solo and together) have crossed pass with Zimmy.     We consider their interactions, both live and studio, including (of course) the Wilburys!         The full conversation will be available for patreons on the Toppermost of the Poppermost Patreon in the near future!    https://www.patreon.com/toppermostpodcast

"Help!"    No longer "Coming Up" in the South, sir Paul and the Got Back tour.      Lonnie and I discuss Sir Paul in San Antonio, both recent and through the mists of time.     Has the Alamodome held up as well as Sir Paul over the thirty-plus years?     What about the Tobin Center?     Maybe even some thoughts on Hotel Emma.      #madeonzencastr!

Marv and I continue our look at the next two discs of the "Power to the People" set before we take a bit of a break from this topic!     We review, compare and contrast the evening show, and look at the relationship between "New York City" (disc four) and the original version of the album.   

Sean Lennon provides an interesting look at the political Lennons from the early 1970's.     Disc One (which we are not covering) is a modern "reimagining" of "John Lennon: Live in New York City" - a "best of" combination of the afternoon and evening shows.    We start on the afternoon show.    The mix, the setlist and more.   

More fantasizing, hypothesizing and Beatle-izing on what might happen were Paul and Ringo to decide to go on tour together.    Not advertised as "a Beatles reunion", just two old rock and roll friends joining their talents to play some music (both together and separately), and to pay tribute to some of their comrades in guitar-based arms.
