A podcast in which two old friends sit about and talk BS - Beatles Stuff - on a track-by-track basis pretty much for the sake of it!

It's a minisode this week as Andrew and JG mop up a missing track that has thus far not been covered, Bad Boy. Is it a decent cover version as cover versions are mostly left in the past? Can much be said about the performances? And just how short can one episode of Stuffology be?

It's album review time on Stuffology as JG and Andrew tackle Rubber Soul in its entirety rather than piece by piece.
Is the album truly the starting point for what was to come? What did contemporary critics make of it (to say nothing of current ones)? And is the album one that benefits from being seen as a whole rather than a series of parts?

We bow out Rubber Soul with easily the most controversial song on it, Run For Your Life.
Does the song deserve it's dismal reputation? Is Lennon right when he claims it's the worst song he ever wrote for the Beatles? And is there any redemption to be had here?

We're almost at the end of Rubber Soul now but before the album bows out we have two final tracks to cover. One is rather notorious and the other is this, If I Needed Someone. How is George's songwriting coming along? Has he managed to pull up alongside Lennon and McCartney in the writing stakes? And how much jangle can one song meaningfully contain?

There's probably some really clever way of saying that we made you, um, wait for this episode but here it it now but I can't think of one so anyway, it's Wait!
Is there much to get worked up about here? Does it continue to give Side 2 of Rubber Soul a boost? And who is the stand-out performer on the track? (Hint: rhymes with Bingo Car)

It's another all-time classic to fall under the Stuffology microscope this episode with Lennon's mighty In My Life.
Does the song deserve its reputation as one of his very best pieces of work? Do the rest of the band contribute equally? And just how many cover versions are there to be discussed?

It's another Bitchy McCartney Number (tm), of which we have had a few lately but how does "I'm Looking Through You" comare to the others? Is there a Wilburys-esque twist (pun very much intended) in the mix? And who's playing what, exactly?

Time for a little Euro-jaunt? Why, I think it might be, as it's time for Girl to take the centre stage!
Is it a metaphor around Catholic values? Can Lennon manage to land the genre style? And how funny can one set of backing vocals be?

It's Ringo's chance to take centre stage on Rubber Soul as What Goes On dolefully shuffles into view.
Is this song as doleful as all the other doleful songs Ringo has sung? Is it worthy of inclusion in a list of doleful Ringo songs at all? And is there any other world to describe this song as other than doleful?
Doleful.

It's time for a little Gallic flair in podcastland as "Michelle" sashay's into view. How unusual is the song in the Beatles back catalogue? Do cover versions add anything at all? And how did our beloved podcast hosts (it says here) come to the song in the first place?
