  • SATB Special: Martin Sexton

    SATB Special: Martin Sexton
    Apr 9 2026
    Hailing from Syracuse, NY, Martin Sexton has been a performer/singer-songwriter/recording artist for over thirty years now. Of late he's been touring with a one-man presentation of the complete Abbey Road album. I had a conversation with Martin to discuss The Beatles' impact on him, and what it means to get inside this most revered album and re-present it with a complete re-think of how the songs were put together, to showcase their essence. Martin will be guest at Magical Mystery Camp in June 2026 in Big Indian, New York. You can check out his works and touring dates at martinsexton.com and the event at magicalmysterycamp.com.

  • 323: Bob Dylan and The Beatles with Jim Windolf

    323: Bob Dylan and The Beatles with Jim Windolf
    Apr 1 2026
    It may be beyond argument that the two most successful and influential pop/rock acts of the 1960s were The Beatles and Bob Dylan: one, an English ensemble from Liverpool who turned out evergreen standards and evolved seemingly without effort; the other an American from the upper midwest, initially cast as a vagabond folkie who constantly reinvented himself as he was anointed spokesman for a generation. For the most part, one could easily imagine the two acts operating in separate lanes, but Dylan and The Beatles had a much more significant and profound influence on each other that ran deeper than previously believed. Author Jim Windolf presents the results of his extensive research in Where The Music Had To Go: How Bob Dylan and The Beatles Changed The World - And Each Other. Even if you have read everything, there's plenty to learn when these two chronologies are presented side by side, revealing the ongoing dialogue between artists that shaped the cultural landscape ever onward.

    322: Evolver '62 with Chris Purcell and Simon Weitzman
    Mar 14 2026
    The cinematic treatment of the 2022 Mark Lewisohn lectures on the first year of The Beatles' recording career has been given a terrific cinematic treatment (see it on Amazon Prime). This episode features my conversation with the film's director, Chris Purcell, and its producer, Simon Weitzman. BOTH filmmakers have produced other Beatle-themed films, including Miss O'Dell, A Love Letter To The Beatles, The Beatles and Us, and Why Don't We Do It In The Road?, as well as other non-Beatle projects. We discuss ALL of it (and the Dementia Choir as well) in this talk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
