Episode #17 – Beep, beep, beep, beep, YEAH!

Nice of you to drop by and see if we’ve been busy lately. The answer to that is, yes, we have by jove. Mark and Col, those enigmatic but likeable idiots, are back with yet another Beatleplaces Podcast With Mark & Col - aka “Beatles With An A”, delivering yet more delightful dollops of Beatles facts and musings as we run through the alphabet for our beloved Beatle listeners out there in podcastland. This time, we’ve reached the letter “D”, providing all manner of chit-chat about the Beatles and Liverpool as well as a fair helping of ad-libs, bad jokes and whimsical nonsense from him and me. The Beatle songs, the Beatles people, the Beatles places and oh, I could on, and often do. It’s an interesting podcast episode this one. This time we’re chewing a brick about the time John bought an island in Ireland, Paul's maternal family tree and the Danher connection, John’s sad dog story, a short biography of the great Rod Davis ex-Quarryman, the odd origin of I Dig A Pony, our own day off visiting Pete Best’s Beatle Museum in Liverpool, John’s dreams, when John and George went to Dovedale School, some Hamburg Beatleplaces you’ve not heard of, the weird tale of how The Fool On The Hill was written and lots besides. Mark has his world-famous A Day In Beatle History feature, Col does his Terribly Tricky Beatles Trivia quiz once more, this time about The Magical Mystery Tour movie and Mark provides the Crappy Karaoke, reciting Beatles lyrics on purposely badly for you to guess. It’s always a good laugh and I know, cos I was there. So, download us and enjoy your latest Beatleplaces episode and put the world on pause for a wee while. That’s an order.
