Hello! We have the privilege and honour this week to share with you exclusive audio from behind the scenes at the recent live episode recording of Chris Shaw's final 'I Am The EggPod' podcast, featuring interviews by Rob Manuel with EggPod fans and alumni, including:

Mark Lewisohn, Samira Ahmed, Joel Morris, Nadia Shireen, Jason Hazeley, Julia Raeside, Matt Everitt, Kevin Eldon, Jill Connolly, Mark Newlove, Eleanor Gray, Adam S Leslie, Chris Chibnall, James Marshall... and more!

If you don't know, 'EggPod' was a massive influence on us starting our show. Chris brings such warmth and passion when talking about The Beatles, and meeting him last year and finding out that he listens to (and likes!) our little show has been a highlight of my podcasting journey so far.

So, thanks Chris for the EggPod and for asking us if we would like to share this with our fans, and I expect, many people who will never have heard of us before! We hope you enjoy and please consider having a listen to some of our regular episodes from our first 4 series.

While we are on our summer break from sorting the Number 1 singles of the 60s, we've been joined by Tim Worthington to talk about George Martin's 'By George!' album, featuring instrumental arrangements of various 60s hits and some original compositions.

Find links to all Tim's various projects at https://timworthington.org

Thanks for listening - we will be back soon with the second half of the 60s and maybe another bonus or two! Keep in touch @Big_Sort on Twitter and Instagram.

Hello and welcome to a Big Beatles Sort Out bonus episode!

We have once again been speaking with author, Beatles fan, legal scholar, Harvard professor, and all round interesting chap, Cass R. Sunstein, about his new book: 'How To Become Famous' published by Harvard Business Review Press out on the 21st May 2024.

The book features The Beatles as one of several case studies into the phenomenon, philosophy and mechanisms of 'fame', so we caught up with him via internet link to the US East Coast to chat the Beatles and fame!

His book can be pre-ordered/purchased here (depending on when you are listening to this!):

Enjoy!
