One of the chapter's in The Beatles' history that fascinates me the most is their 1968 trip to India. In this week's episode, I am joined by author and researcher Paul Mason to discuss when and why each of the group chose to leave the Maharishi's ashram in Rishikesh.
You can find all of Paul Mason's books including my favourite The Beatles, Drugs, Mysticism & India on his website.

There is so much to look at on the cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that it is easy to miss the sets of six medals that both John and Ringo wore on their colourful military costumes. Join me this week to explore the stories behind these unaccountable artefacts.

Yesterday
The history of when Paul McCartney wrote 'Yesterday' has been confused by contradictory memories. In this week's episode, we explore the gestation of a classic and I make the case for what I think is the most accurate timeline.
