2026.20 Paul on SNL, Ringo with Simon Mayo

About this episode

The episode discusses recent Beatles appearances, including Paul on podcasts and Ringo promoting his work on UK radio.

Another week of Beatles appearances. This week we discuss Paul on a number of podcasts, and a little show called Saturday Night Live. Meanwhile, a faux Ringo (well, Mr. Conductor) narrates a faux Thomas the Tank Engine on SNL UK, while the real Ringo is still out there promoting Long Long Road - including an appearance (via Zoom) with Simon Mayo on UK radio. Surrounding these bits are some thoughts on the evolving Apple Corps, and other news as we draw ever closer to the release of "The Boys of Dungeon Lane". #madeonzencastr.
