Tim is joined by award-winning 'I Am the EggPod' producer and host Chris Shaw to explore Her Majesty. They examine the song’s strange place in Abbey Road, its accidental journey to becoming the Beatles’ hidden closing track, and what its humour, brevity and missing final note say about the Beatles’ love of happy accidents and undercutting grand endings.

Tim is joined by former Apple insider and author Chris O’Dell to explore Get Back. They examine her extraordinary first-hand experiences with The Beatles, from typing the song’s lyrics (while slightly high), to witnessing its creation, and even appearing on the famous rooftop performance. Along the way, Chris shares remarkable stories about life at Apple, her friendships with the band, and the serendipitous moments that placed her at the heart of Beatles history.

Tim is joined by singer-songwriter Simon Love to explore Hello, Goodbye. They examine its bright, deceptively simple pop construction, inventive chord changes, and vital place within the Beatles’ prolific psychedelic period of 1967.
The conversation dives into the musical detail of Hello, Goodbye, including its unusual harmonic shifts, groove-led feel, and Ringo’s distinctive drumming. They also touch on the song’s recording process, promotional film, and its role as a commercial counterpoint to I Am the Walrus.
Along the way, Simon recounts brushes with Beatles-world figures, seeing Paul McCartney live with his son, and recording at Abbey Road.

Tim is joined by journalist, writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed to explore Rubber Soul's 'You Won’t See Me'. 
The conversation explores the song’s double meanings, its portrayal of relationship tension, and McCartney’s ability to transform personal experience into art. They also discuss the evolving depiction of women in Beatles songs, the broader social changes of the 1960s, and how Rubber Soul captures a band (and a culture) in transition.
Musically, they highlight the track’s rich harmonies, inventive structure, and standout bass line, as well as its subtle sophistication beneath an apparently simple surface. Along the way, Samira shares insights from her new BFI Film Classics book on A Hard Day’s Night.
