She Said, She Said

Despite the announcement at the end of last episode (er, sorry about that - JG), it is, in fact, time for us to be Fixing a Hole. Was JG's missing of the track indicative of its overall quality? How does it thematically connect to the rest of the album? And is it really about drugs or just faffing about at home?

As we would also hope for the podcast, things are, this week, Getting Better. Does the song manage to improve upon its predecessor? Is it just (just!) an album track? And how much of one episode can be spent on cover versions?

The podcast has survived the trials and tribulations of With a Little Help... so it's time to move on to some acid-imagery with Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (or is it just a child's painting that inspired it? Take a guess). Is the song really as significant as some will tell you? Does the lyric actually stand up to any kind of analysis? And is it an easy song to cover?

Well, it's time for the episode that we have been trailing for literally years at this point - the potentially podcast-ending, friendship-ruining, reality-splitting With A Little Help From My Friends. Who really carries the best version of the song? Beyond "other people doing it", is there that much to analyse about the track itself? And how much of the actual song is the actual song anyway? Plus we dip into the postbag for some kind words and also.... drumroll please... Stuffology Bingo!

While this podcast might feel that it's been running for considerably longer than twenty years, we can assure you it's been substantially less as we move on to a new album and song, both in the shape of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Does the song function as an effective prelude to the album? How many kids TV references can be shoehorned into one episode? And just how long can it take to get round to talking about the actual song? Plus we dip into the mailbag for a little bit of correspondence.
