Yoko Ono has long been cast in the shadow of John Lennon—or worse, blamed for breaking up The Beatles. But the truth is far more powerful. In this episode, we dive into Yoko’s groundbreaking solo art career, her fearless activism, and the decades of backlash she endured as a woman, an outsider, and a visionary. From participatory art and peace towers to the biscuit incident and Get Back reappraisals, we unravel the myths and celebrate the legacy of a cultural icon who turned pain into purpose and never stopped creating.
