Ethan Alexanian joins to complete the six-pack of former hosts as we consider the last 12 months (and a little bit more) in the world of the Beatles.    Ringo hit number one on the UK country charts, Paul played three shows in a small New York City venue all the way through the tours, box sets, books, films and more.   #madeonzencastr

More from (almost) all the Fab Guys.   Dave Persails, Jon Stone, Lonnie Pena, Martin Quibell and me.    We move from our discussion last week of the past ten years to the present (Ringo at 85/86 on the road, Paul "Getting Back" to San Antonio, New Orleans and other places, and then a little bit of future-gazing to our thoughts on where things will go in the next decade and beyond.    #madeonzencastr.

In 1974, Capitol records celebrated "The Beatles Decade."    This week, next (and sort of the one after that), we are celebrating "The Fab Decade."     Original "Beatling About" co-host Dave Persails joins the Gab Four this week and next as we discuss a decade of highlights in the Beatles world  - along with multiple reminders that "we did a show about that."   (Hey, we have to be a little self-congratulatory).    This week, "Get Back", box sets and Jon Stone goes his own way (sorry, wrong band).     #madeonzencastr.

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!
