Your Own Personal Beatles

Adam Buxton's Personal Beatles

Season 2, Ep. 16
•

Comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton joins us to share his Personal Beatles. In this suitably rambling chat, Jack and Robin talk to Adam about everything from the Stars on 45 Beatles medley, the 2000 TV movie Two of US, recording his version of How Do You Sleep, and of course, interviewing Sir Paul on his podcast.


You can also hear some unheard audio from Adam and Joe's Vinyl Justice sketch with Ray Manzarek, in which The Doors keyboard player talks to Adam about Rubber Soul.


And if that wasn't enough, we also offer our (spoiler free) thought's on Peter Jackson's Get Back!


The Beatles: Get Back is available to stream on Disney+ now.
