Guitar legend Earl Slick discusses the 1980 recording sessions for Double Fantasy / Milk and Honey. With Chris Shaw.
Since 2018 it’s been pure joy interviewing Beatles fans about their favourite albums, movies and moments.
Along the way, I feel like a real community has grown and new friendships have been made. A number of listeners have said that I am the EggPod has helped them during tough times, as well as introducing them to new Beatles and solo Beatle albums. Well, what could be better!
Since EggPod started, dozens of new Beatles podcasts have been launched and I hope that this show in some way helped encourage others to spread the word to new generations about this incredible band, with their story soaked in history, joy and impossible chunks of serendipity.
I hate outstaying welcomes, and would rather end this particular story on a high. It’s been a tough decision but I think it’s the right one.
So now is the time to ‘do a rooftop Mal’ and pull the plug on EggPod.
The last EggPod of all will be live at Opera Holland Park, London on 6 July 2024. It will be the perfect opportunity to close the curtains on this most joyful chapter of my life – and I hope it’s brought you some happiness too! And what better way to do it than with a roomful of friends?
If you’d like to come and say goodbye – and see some super special guests for the final episode, then you’ll be more than welcome!
