Deep Beatle Archaeology
digging the past
How did everything come together to make the Beatles not just so popular, but so influential? You’ve read some of the books, you’ve seen some of the movies. Now Eric Howell’s audio drama, “A Day in THEIR Life,” at Beatledrama.com, takes you through the Beatles’ story. Like Beatles60, it’s a chronological excavation. His painstakingly researched audio drama gives listeners more than just the details of the narrative. You get a feel for what it was like to live in the music culture of the late 1950s with the early 1960s on the horizon.
You may have heard Eric in our podcast series where he reads the Beatles’ and other voices when we quote them.
This episode of The Beatles60 Podcast is a little bit different from our usual. Eric joins Andy to talk about “A Day in THEIR Life,” how it was conceived, how it’s produced, what to expect in the future, and how it works like a prequel to the 60-year timeline that we follow. And for good measure, Andy and Eric talk a bit about Andy’s recent trip to Hamburg, and how it helped him imagine what it was like to be there between 1960 and 1962. Listen and dig along with us.
