Originally Released December 2021 Rubber Soul - Part Three To get Rubber Soul finished The Beatles pull an all-nighter and raid the Abbey Road cupboard for leftover tracks. Then the album needs a name, a cover, and a totally different American version. Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.

First Released June 2020 The Road to Anthology 1968-1993 By the time The Beatles Anthology finally appeared in 1995, it had taken over 25 years to produce. To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2020, Nothing Is Real made three episodes looking at the acclaimed documentary. In this episode Steven and Jason navigate the years from 1968, when the idea arose through to 1992 when the cameras started rolling. Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.

The Beatles First Tour (NIR Live 2023 Part One) NIR went on tour in 2023, so it seems fitting to tell the story of The Beatles’ first and last tours. In the beginning there was Johnny Gentle, a singing star with enough capital to play venues in the rural highlands of Scotland with the untested Beatles. What could possibly go right?

The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame 1988 was an unusual time: The biggest Beatle was George, rock stars were dealing with the unthinkable (their forties), people were paying attention to Mike Love, and the rebellion of rock & roll had been replaced by a gentlemen’s club.   Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.  Website: nothingisrealpod.com/ X: @BeatlesPod Facebook Group: tiny.cc/NIRFBG Mastodon: @[email protected] Instagram: instagram.com/beatlespod/ YouTube: tiny.cc/NIRYT Support: tiny.cc/NIRsupport Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/nothing-is-real-a-beatles-podcast.
