It's our belated Christmas special! Friend of the show, comedian and musician Johnny White Really-Really returns to take part in our second Beatles Cover Challenge.

We pick a Beatles track for each other, have one month to record it, and reunite to discuss the results and what we've learned about the songs by recreating them.

You can find the full versions of the songs at https://www.personalbeatles.com/episodes/cover-challenge-vol-2.

Thanks for listening, and we'll be back later in the year.
