Podcaster supremo and (importantly for this episode) Beatles obsessive Geoff Lloyd joins Jude for a Songbook deep dive.

Getting together to unpick Paul McCartney's recent bestseller The Lyrics, revelations abound. From Geoff telling Jude how his wife uses The Beatles as a carrot to get him to do stuff to whether Macca admits to watching bad films about himself. They discuss how hard it is to get McCartney off-script, the Beatles' skill at legacy-building and whether Geoff will admit to having a favourite Beatle.

For fans and non-fans alike.
