2026.18 With Ken Womack! (A not-quite illustrated journey through his work and the current state of Beatle-dom)
When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the BeatlesShow Notes
The one and only Ken Womack (misknown by a handful of his compatriots as "Keith") joins us this week. We start with a chat about Ken's new projects (including the second and possible third volumes in his Mal Evans collections), and wander around Beatles world, touching on not only their 2026 solo projects, but also AI, Rock Band, the quadrology, Mark Lewisohn in Ireland and more, which ultimately leads back to what's important! The music! #madeonzencastr.

Marv and I hare back for our look at disc two of the Rubber Soul Box! There is a lot more than just the "lost song" known as "Little Girl." Lots of news as well. "The Third Eye", the re-release of "Boys of Dungeon Lane", and even more #madeonzencastr
Marv and I are joined by star of stage, screen and a man who knew some bandmates of the Rutles, Austin's (and Houston's) own Darin Murphy. We talk a lot about Rubber Soul, run through our thoughts on the 2026 remixes, and talk things like Framus, Neve Consoles and the differences in remixing in 1987 and 202x. #madeonzencastr
News, Paul Simon, Back to Dungeon Lane and the neverending Pearl Jam drummer questions. Marv and I talk about George Harrison's favorite Beatles cover, Ye Cracke, the burden (or not) of being a Pisces and more while we digest the newly released Rubber Soul box set (that review starts next week!). #madeonzencastr.
Marv and I chat about the 2004 George Harrison (and Prince, ZZTop and Others) Rock Hall Induction. How exactly did that "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo happen. We also chat about the Gypsy Jazz Dark Horse George Harrison Tribute album, and Dragonflies on Kimmel. We also contemplate Paul's upcoming Kimmel Appearance (ABC in the States, Friday October 2!) and ponder Abe Laboriel Jr., Pearl Jam and what exactly is and is not definitive! #madeonzencastr.
This week - the third track from the "Rubber Soul" box set. Marv and I also chat about some new interviews with Giles Martin (connecting "Pet Sounds", George Harrison, Rick Astley, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel), and the 1966 tour of the United States. More than just Shea 1966 and Dodger Stadium! #madeonzencastr
