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!

We take a more thoughtful and melancholy turn this week as Andrew and JG tackle Things We Said Today.
Does the song deserve its great reputation? What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical melody? And what's Barbara Dickson got to do with anything?

I'll Cry Instrad - not an entirely unfair reaction to this week's track, as it turns out!
How does the country influence work out this time? How many Billy Bragg references can be squeezed into one podcast? And just how long will it take to get around to talking about the song this episode is ostensibly meant to be about?

It's time for Any Time At All to take the spotlight as this grower-not-a-shower gets the Stuffology treatment. How does it compare to the previous episode's mighty Can't Buy Me Love? Is there much there there? And what's up with Second-Half Syndrome?

It's another one of the classics this episode, as JG and Andrew tackle the might, era-defining Can't Buy Me Love.
What's going on with iterative processes? How long does it take for Pink Floyd to take a kicking? And is it possible to make a Shea Stadium reference without immediately deferring to the Rutles?

It's time to Tell Me Why on Stuffology as JG and Andrew tackle a rather forgotten song.
Does it manage to hold its place on the album? How much Star Wars talk can get squeezed into a Beatles podcast (quite a bit actually!)? Plus, if you've ever wanted to know more about the film It's Trad, Dad! - and who wouldn't? - Andrew has a real treat in store for you!

It's time to move into ballad territory this episode as JG and Andrew cover And I Love Her.
Does the song manage to land its tone of wannabe-sophistication? Of the many cover versions, which is the worst? How does George's contribution stand up?

It's a quick dash around the ballroom this episode, as George informs us he's happy just to dance with you, despite very much not sounding like it.
How does the song hang together? Does it belie its throwaway status? How many unrelated 80's references can be crammed in?

If I Fell falls under the, let's say, analytical spotlight this episode as JG and Andrew continue their way through A Hard Day's Night.
Does the song continue the run of quality on the album? How often can JG use the word "charming" in one episode? And on this occasion, who did it better - The Beatles or the Rutles?

It's time for the second song on A Hard Day's Night to fall under the spotlight as JG and Andrew turn their attention to "I Should Have Known Better".
How does it fare next to the totemic title track? Why is there a discussion of McCartney's Tug Of War (not for the first time)? And why do the Beach Boys come up?

It's time to move on to some new territory this week as JG and Andrew break the seal on the A Hard Day's Night album with the song... A Hard Days Night!
Join us for an unfeasibly large amount of Goon-related chat and general chart musings. Does the song make a good opener for the album? How long can two people talk about a song that doesn't clear three minutes? And why are Madness brought up so early on?
