Episode #18 – "Let’s all get up and dance to a song.."
Well hello again. Sit down and take it easy for a bit, we’re all informal here. Mark and Col, the most reliable men this side of the River Mersey are fit for duty and back again to present another Beatleplaces Podcast, a nearly no-nonsense approach to enthusiastically talking about the Fabulous Four (which is The Beatles by the way) and where they came from (which is Liverpool, by the way). Along the way and between our wacky witterings, we present another instalment of our ongoing series “Beatles With An A” and this time we’ve landed on the letter “E”. This is our chance to tell you what we looked up about the Beatle songs, Beatle places, Beatle people and Beatles everything else that begins with an “E”. You can see where we going with this. We like to spice up the podcast with trivia and stuff and this time we have no less than 4 quizzes. Mark gives you “What Track Follows”, And “What Track Came Before” and “Name The B Side” which are all harder than you think, or at least, than I do. We reveal who the monkey is in the White Album song. Col tells you about Brian Epstein’s family tree back in Russia and raves about the genius radio presenter and Beatle friend, Kenny Everett and his influence on the band plus we explain what Vicks Inhalers had to do with the Beatles early drug taking. We’ve worked eight days a week to make this a good show so make the most of it and above all, treat yourself. Oh, here’s our bus now. Fares please.

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.

Episode #16- Just Tell Us When We Get A Good One..
I couldn’t have said it better myself. For an undisclosed fee (of posh biscuits) Mark and Col have returned to the podcast ether to give you yet another Beatleplaces Podcast with Mark & Col- aka Beatles With an “A”, discussing all Beatle things from an alphabetical perspective and this time it’s the letter “C”. talking Beatles, Liverpool, John, Paul, George, Ringo and occasionally Pete. Truth is, we’re just two blokes with too much time on our hands waiting for a bus home who just like the Beatles and we like to talk about them. Plain enough.? This time abouts those laconic lateral-thinking layabouts Mark and Col chunner on about all things letter “C”, namely the background to The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, John’s love of cats, a homage to The Cavern Club, Ivor Cutler, The Chants, the Cast Iron Shore, and featuring the weird story of Capitol Records and the origin of the Beatles TV cartoon series plus a host of other tangential topics. For added value, we threw in a Beatles quiz too and I nearly but not quite forgot that Mark even recites an excerpt of John’s short story, Nicely Clive just for the icing on the podcast cake. It’s a whole lot of plenty and we think you’ll enjoy it or my names not Fred Fanackerpan. Come to think of it, it isn’t, but mind how you go any ways. Ooh, here’s our bus now...

Much to our own surprise we have made another Beatleplaces Podcast. Who’ d a thunk it.? But we did and that’s that, no point in dwelling on it. Nevertheless, I’m pleased to report it turned out to be another great show for all Beatles fans. In order of I.Q., Mark and Col, are back as your loveable local hosts and occasional sat-nav voices to all things Beatles and all things Liverpool. In the show we bring you “Beatles With An “A”, an alphabetical, never betteral, wander through the A-Z of Beatles bits and bobs. This time we stop off at the letter “B”, talking about the songs, the people, the places and all the mad miscellany we can muster belonging to the letter “B”. Col chats about the “Free As A Bird “ video and the Beatles song clues within it. We also discuss the strange history of the real barber mentioned in the song Penny Lane. Mark gives us “This day in Beatle history”. We even had time for two Beatles quizzes and Col features the weird Beatle websites you must see and the songs the Beatles played but never recorded. As usual, there’s quite a lot in our little show and yet we still had room for a lot of daft jokes and the usual stuff and nonsense you’d expect from Mark and Col. So come on lads and lasses, let’s have your glasses.

Episode #14- A, B , C, D.. Can I Bring My Friend To Tea.?
At no cost to you Mark and Col have returned to deliver yet another no expenses spent edition of Beatleplaces, but with a twist. For at least the next 26 podcasts we’re doing a brand new, super-dooper feature called “Beatles With An A”. What’s that about I hear you say.? Well, in each podcast we focus on a letter of the alphabet (guess the first one) and report back Beatles fun facts belonging to that letter, namely Beatle songs, Beatle people, Beatle places and more. We think you’ll like it. As ever, we’ll be incessantly talking about your favourite fab foursome and their hometown of Liverpool ‘cos we like doing it and it’s our hometown too. Not forgetting the usual podcast favourites of the totally tricky Beatles Trivia Quiz, This Month In Beatle History and whatever nonsense Col and Mark can recall from their vast and let’s face it, limited knowledge of all things Beatles and Liverpool. Col will be highlighting the day Ringo had his 21st birthday party at home, when Paul fell off his moped and even recites the full version of the Liverpool schoolkid rhyme, Yellow Matter Custard that John included a snippet of in “I Am The Walrus”. As per usual, Mark and Col will fill in the gaps in between with daft jokes and bad fashion tips. We also get the distinct feeling that you may even enjoy it. You never can tell. Alley oop.
