Hello! We just couldn't keep away, and having recently passed our first 100,000 listens, we thought we would say thank you and Happy Christmas with this special episode looking at the first 4 years of Beatles fan club Christmas flexi discs!
We recorded the in person on a handheld recorder, so apologies if not up the usual audio quality.
We hope you all have a lovely festive period and new year, and we will see you in 2025!

The Big Beatles Sort Out Presents: The Big 60s Sort Out!
Yes, for season 4 we are taking a look at the decade that made (or was made?) by The Beatles, by ranking every UK number one, looking for sneaky Beatles links, and generally putting ourselves in the world where they crafted their legacy.
In the last of our mid season pre-Xmas specials, we are talking about the new Beatles 64 documentary out now on Disney+. We recorded this literally the day after we both watched it, so this is very much a casual 'reaction' episode to ease us into our xmas break.
I also mention the book 'The Beatle Who Vanished' by Jim Berkenstadt, which you can find out more about here: https://www.thebeatlewhovanished.com/
We hope you all have a lovely festive period and new year, and we will see you in 2025!

In 2019 we lost a Rutle, a Bonzo and a Python - these were all one man; the incredible Neil Innes. His wife Yvonne, who was with him since the early sixties, has now written a memoir of Neil's life and their time together - Dip My Brain In Joy: A Life With Neil Innes, which is available from 24th October 2024 from Nine Eight Books.
In this chat, Yvonne talks about Neil's philosphy of life and language, his risk-taking and what it was like to be around art-schools in the sixties as a new wave of comedians and musicians started to change the world. She also discusses her own "pro good-things, anti bad-things" stance, her and Neil's relationship to finance and how these things can affect art and creativity.
Thanks so much to Yvonne for making the time to chat to us! Enjoy.
A celebration of the life of Neil Innes takes place in London on the 28th November and standing tickets are still available.

Hello! We have the privilege and honour this week to share with you exclusive audio from behind the scenes at the recent live episode recording of Chris Shaw's final 'I Am The EggPod' podcast, featuring interviews by Rob Manuel with EggPod fans and alumni, including:
Mark Lewisohn, Samira Ahmed, Joel Morris, Nadia Shireen, Jason Hazeley, Julia Raeside, Matt Everitt, Kevin Eldon, Jill Connolly, Mark Newlove, Eleanor Gray, Adam S Leslie, Chris Chibnall, James Marshall... and more!
If you don't know, 'EggPod' was a massive influence on us starting our show. Chris brings such warmth and passion when talking about The Beatles, and meeting him last year and finding out that he listens to (and likes!) our little show has been a highlight of my podcasting journey so far.
So, thanks Chris for the EggPod and for asking us if we would like to share this with our fans, and I expect, many people who will never have heard of us before! We hope you enjoy and please consider having a listen to some of our regular episodes from our first 4 series.
While we are on our summer break from sorting the Number 1 singles of the 60s, we've been joined by Tim Worthington to talk about George Martin's 'By George!' album, featuring instrumental arrangements of various 60s hits and some original compositions.
Find links to all Tim's various projects at https://timworthington.org
Thanks for listening - we will be back soon with the second half of the 60s and maybe another bonus or two! Keep in touch @Big_Sort on Twitter and Instagram.
