| 6/21/26 | ![]() 2026.24 Horses, Water and Anna Julia | Marv amd I return to George Harrison-land. We present the first half of our look at the music George guested on in the nineties. Some of our old familiars (Lee, Capaldi, Lynne); some even older friends (Carl Perkins), and a 1992 recording disguised as a demo fro the seventies. The slide guitar is joined by some recent news, including the latest from the quadrology. #madeonzencastr. | 1h 22m 37s | ||||||
| 6/14/26 | ![]() 2026.23 Chicken Shops, Tik Toks and the Record Store Day Podcast | One more look at the new promotion for "The Boys of Dungeon Lane". Paul sits down with Willie Geist, Amelia Dimoldenberg, the NME and you, and we converse on the conversations. This is followed by a bit of chat on Sean Lennon promoting the new "Lennon-Claypool Delirium" album, with even more chat on what's going on. #madeonzencastr | 1h 21m 21s | ||||||

| 2/23/26 | ![]() 2026.08 News Update | While we wait for the Amazon premiere of "Man on the Run", we update the news. Lots of filming on the Beatles quadrology. A soundtrack for "Man on the Run", and some new zoetrope LPs from George Harrison for record store day! #madeonzencastr. | 48m 59s | ||||||
| 2/16/26 | ![]() 2026.07 Macca in the Eighties. | Tom Hunyady joins as we look at the decade after Paul was a "Man on the Run". Tug of War through Flowers in the Dirt. Paul and Linda. Paul and Stevie. Paul and Michael. Paul and Declan. More than just Tom Hunyady (2 Legs) joins for a chat on the decade bookended by the tour that wasn't and the tour that was. #madeonzencastr. | 1h 10m 31s | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | ![]() 2026.06 The Beatles at Shea Stadium | It is Sixty Years since "The Beatles at Shea Stadium" (the TV production) was completed. This week, we discuss many different aspects. Why was the premiere on the BBC, and why did it take "A-Beatle-C" eighteen months to bring the special to American screens. We talk the re-records, the fun and excitement and the evening at large! #madeonzencastr. | 1h 04m 09s | ||||||
| 2/2/26 | ![]() 2026.05 The McCartney Archive Editions ... Past, Present (and Future?) | Marv and I go back to 2010 - and actually a bit before, as we briefly sum up the 16-disc "Paul McCartney Collection". November of this year will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the debut of the McCartney Archive series. If we don't get another disc in the series by summer, it will be six years since the most recent one entered our lives. Marv and I consider the past, present and future of McCartney/Wings reissues, and contemplate a physical-media-less reissue future. #madeonzencastr. | 1h 09m 03s | ||||||
| 1/25/26 | ![]() 2026.04 The Beatles Anthology Review (episode 4/5) | Sam Whiles (Paul or Nothing), and "our own" Ethan Alexanian (Fans on the Run) join for a crossover, since none of us want to devote that many episodes to the revised Anthology! We join the boys in progress, as they move from August of 1964 all the way through a visit to the Philippines! #madeonzencstr | 1h 14m 24s | ||||||
| 1/19/26 | ![]() 2026.03 Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Vicki Brown, Deep Purple and more... | A news update (all best wishes to Lonnie Pena and family), some chat about "rethinking" the Fest for Beatles Fans, which leads into Marv and I chatting about some more of George Harrison's guest appearances from the eighties and into the early nineties. | 1h 14m 14s | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | ![]() 2026.02 Duane Eddy, Ravi Shankar, Sylvia Griffin and Billy J. Kramer? | News, more of George's guest appearances (some Duane Eddy, some Ravi Shankar, and a bit of Sylvia Griffin), and an interview from Summer 2025 with the one and only Billy J. Kramer. Marv co-hosts and Kit O'Toole magically appears, filling out our Toppermost trio (http://www.toppermostofthepoppermost.net) on Fab. #madeonzencastr. | 1h 19m 12s | ||||||
