Beatles News Briefs

In a special two-segment show, Beatles News Briefs presents "Seeing the Beatles" with fan accounts of seeing the Beatles (as a group) in concert at several U.S. concerts and, in the second half of the show, an exclusive interview with disc jockey legend Johnny Holliday, who co-emceed the Beatles' final concert at Candlestick Park on Aug. 29, 1966. You hear fans' stories of trying to get to their hotel rooms, the concert experience and the music they played. And Johnny Holliday, who is a member of both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Baseball Hall of Fame, tells what it was like socializing with the Beatles and the weather at the often chilly Candlestick Park where the show was held. He also talks about working with the Monkees and other bands, and his work as a major league baseball announcer and his current work as a sportscaster for the University of Maryland. A great show you won't want to miss. Hear it on your favorite podcast provider or see it on video on YouTube.

This week, we take a deep dive into "The McCartney Legacy" with Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair, the co-authors of an incredible series of encyclopedic volumes (two down, one coming and more to go) that probe the McCartney mystique as it's never been done before. This is also special for me with this mini-reunion with Allan Kozinn, one of my old Things We Said Today cohorts. Then we finish off with some Beatles news briefs. Hang onto your ears because here we go!
