Taking It Down | The Beatles? Yes, The Beatles | Episode 178

This streaming player allows you to play the episode from the site.

Taking It Down is the site’s TV and streaming podcast for listeners who have time for the TV, but not time for much else. From us, you’ll get the mundane and absurd, the complex and the simple, the easy and the hard all with zero Hollywood b.s.

With only Adam and Blaine this week, the guys veer way out of the podcast’s usual lane of TV to talk about The Beatles. Prompted by the new single “Now and Then,” they talk discuss production, albums, and songs. The episode begins with the podcast’s roots (1:20) before explaining why this week isn’t a TV episode (2:23). There’s a dash of football discussion (4:29) before the two hosts talk about The Beatles: the new single, previous work without John Lennon, favorite albums, favorite songs, and the man who played hundreds of copies of The White Album (5:44). The episode wraps with a mushroom-specific “Strawberry Fields Forever” tale (30:27) before Adam assigns some Beatles homework everyone will love (31:49).
