Apple Scruffs

52 years ago, George made history by organizing The Concert for Bangladesh. In this episode, the Scruffs discuss the significance of that event, as well as how stressful and fulfilling it must have been for George. Should John and Paul have been a part of it? Should Eric Clapton not have been a part of it? Why did Bob Dylan get a way longer set than everyone else? The Scruffs tackle all of it and more...

It's undeniable that George accomplished some amazing things in his lifetime. But he didn't do it alone! You could say he got by with a little help from his friends (sorry). In this episode, the Scruffs discuss some of their favorite of George's buddies and pals (and you know that means they couldn't avoid adding to the Dylarrison discourse...).

Much like George after temporarily leaving the Beatles, Katie, Jamie, and Skylar are ready to "get back" into the Get Back sessions! In this episode, the Scruffs analyze part 2 of the trilogy and discuss George's return to the group. Did John or Paul learn their lesson and start treating George better? Or is it the same run-of-the-mill behavior? Thank you to our amazing editor Fizz, and thank you for listening! Be sure to connect with us on social media!

As we all know, George would have been turning 80 if he were still with us today. In this special celebratory episode, we talk about some of our favorite George moments, as well as some of yours! We also debate which day is best to celebrate: February 24th or February 25th (or both)? Thanks for joining us as we celebrate our George, and thank you for listening as always! Big shout out to our amazing editor, Fizz! :)  Connect with the Scruffs! Twitter: @applescruffspod Instagram: @applescruffspodcast

Just like Laila, Skylar, and Katie, Anna is interested in analyzing the Beatles. However, as a classical musician, Anna approaches the group (and our boy George especially) from a unique point of view. Listen to our interview with Anna and learn about how George can rightfully be compared to some of the great composers of history. You can follow Anna on Twitter or Instagram @harrisonologist! We will also keep you all updated on when her article is released sometime this year. And thank you to our great editor, Fizz! Check out her duo Lola's new single, "The Stars Go Home and Cry."
