• 98 - "Miss O'Dell": Inside the book, the movie and her life with the Beatles

  A revealing look at the film and the book "Miss O'Dell" with the book's author, Chris O'Dell, and the director of the film, Simon Weitzman.  In the first part of the show, we go one-to-one with "Miss O'Dell" as she talks candidly about her adventurous life working for the Beatles at Apple and what led to the book becoming a movie. Then, in part 2, we'll bring in the director of "Miss O'Dell," Simon Weitzman, for a revealing look at how the movie was made and stories from Chris and Simon on the production of the film. You'll also hear more tales from Chris on working for The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Queen and others. We'll close out the show with a brief Beatles news roundup. And we thank you for listening! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at https://marinucci.podbean.com, on YouTube or on our blogspot page.

• #97- Author, radio star Laurie Kaye on talking to Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, more (with clips)!

  In her years of radio work, Laurie Kaye has talked to such rock luminaries as Paul McCartney (with wife Linda), George Harrison, Beatles producer George Martin, Little Richard, Mick Jagger, Bob Weir, The Ramones, Talking Heads and more. But it was her interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Dec. 8, 1980, the night he was murdered, that is the focus of her book "Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name Dropper: My Life Leading Up to John Lennon's Last Interview." She talks about the Lennon interview, her Beatles interviews (with excerpts from each of her vintage Beatles interviews featured in this show) and more in this episode. We hope you enjoy the show!

• 95 - Songs, Pictures, Stories and Secrets Of The Fabulous Beatles on Vee-Jay Records With Bruce Spizer and Michele Wood Marotta

  On this episode, we feature a very (very!) entertaining and lively discussion about the history of The Beatles on Vee-Jay Records with Beatles historian and author Bruce Spizer ("The Beatles On Vee-Jay Records") and Michele Marotta, daughter of Randy Wood, who was head of Vee-Jay Records at the time The Beatles were on the label. In the main part of the discussion, we'll talk about the unique albums released by Vee-Jay, which was pretty much an all-in-the-family operation when The Beatles were on it. But we'll also cover some other things as well that you'll want to hear.  We'll also review the film "Daytime Revolution" and compare it to "One To One: John and Yoko," give you two more responses to the questions surrounding the Canadian Decca tapes mystery and we'll finish with some Beatles News Briefs to close out the program. Thanks very much for tuning in and we hope (we know) you'll enjoy the show.    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at https://marinucci.podbean.com, on YouTube or on our blogspot page.
