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!

The end is in sight! But before we get there, we have this - "Not A Second Time". Can Lennon find a tune to sing here? Is it a suitable second-last song as far as the album goes? And are the cover versions better than the original?

Another episode, another cover version! This time it's Devil In Her Heart, as side 2 continues to wend its merry way. How does the song stand up? Can Harrison do anything convincing on vocals? Just how low a score can it get? These and other questions await their answers!

Ringo's "I Wanna Be Your Man" is in the spotlight this episode, and after numerous technical issues JG and Andrew have finally managed to actually capture what they think of the song (no mean feat, this time out). How does the song work for Ringo's voice? How do things go with the inevitable Rolling Stones comparison? And was the song worth all the hassle of getting the blasted episode recorded in the first place?

It's time for a Smokey Robinson cover on this episode of Stuffology with "You Really Got A Hold On Me". Can Lennon's vocals match the original (and will Andrew concede whether they're any good or not)? Where, and why, do UB40 fit into things? And how does the whole "cultural appropriation" thing work?

We start Side 2 of With The Beatles with one of the most well-known songs of all-time, Roll Over Beethoven. Can the Beatles do the Chuck Berry classic justice? Why are there sidesteps into Superman movies? And what does a completely forgotten sitcom have to do with anything?

We continue with another cover version for this episode with the Beatles' take on the classic "Please Mr Postman". Does it live up the original? Where does Elvis Costello fit into things? And why are the scores unusual this time round?

Till There Was You is up for discussion this week, as JG and Andrew delve into another one of the cover versions on With The Beatles. Is the track as chintzy as its reputation? Do the band make a good fist of a complicated number? Plus we return to one of the podcast's favourite subjects - The Rutles and Neil Innes - and excitement ahoy! We delve into the postbag for the first time to cover a listener's email.

This episode, JG and Andrew turn their attention to "Little Child", which turns out to be a Lennon/McCartney Original and not a cover version at all! What difference does knowing how something was recorded make to appreciating a song? Should this have been a Ringo song, as was originally intended? And what on Earth is "brumbeat"?

We turn to George's first Beatles song on an album this episode as JG and Andrew cover "Don't Bother Me". How does George's first attempt at songwriting stack up against Lennon and McCartney? Is his solo output worth bothering (ho ho) with? And how contentious will the final score be?

It's something of a classic that's getting covered this episode as "All My Loving" falls under the spotlight. Does it deserve to be such a popular live number? Why is JG pulled up for speaking French? And how on-topic will things stay before the inevitable score?
