Proud to present my latest interview with Beatles authors HARRY CASTLEMAN and WALTER PODRAZIK who together collaborated on the excellent BEATLES discographies "ALL TOGETHER NOW," "THE BEATLES AGAIN" and "THE END OF THE BEATLES?" Their work explored not only BEATLES and SOLO-RELEASES, but the BEATLES side projects (what they wrote, performed, or produced for other artists,) bootlegs, songs rumored to be the BEATLES, the original artists behind the songs the BEATLES covered (group and solo,) U.S. an U.K. release dates and chart information for both countries and more.
My conversation focused on how they discovered all their information in the pre-internet days, how they met, and why this work was so important to them.
"ALL TOGETHER NOW" was the first BEATLES book I ever bought, and what I used for research quite a lot in preparing for my BEATLES radio shows. It was also an enormous influence on me, presenting all the BEATLES works, group and solo, together as one, a good reason why I consider it all one body of work to this day.
Harry and Walter have released many books through the years on the history of television, and they discuss their latest, "Watching TV: American Television Season By Season," and reveal how the research is similar to what they did for their Beatles books.
I always wanted to interview these two gentlemen together considering what an influence their books have been on me. I even expose my well-worn copy of "All Together Now" on the show!
Thanks to Harry and Walter for a fantastic conversation here! And thanks to all my subscribers!

It’s a thrill and an honor for me to interview these two gentlemen, who co-authored the Beatles discographies “All Together Now,” “The Beatles Again,” and “T...
