Welcome to Nothing's Real a podcast about the Beatles.

Everybody thinks they know the Beatles, but how much do we really know?

My name is Jason Carty.

My name is Stephen Corkcroft And we're live on tape from Lapland

Because it's Christmas Day

Yes

We're sitting in our log cabin

It's live

We're doing this live on Christmas day for you guys

And it's a beautiful snowy day

And we've thrown a couple of Philip Normans on the fire.

It's all very, very relaxing. Having a good Christmas, Stephen?

It's very relaxed. I don't know about your chestnuts, but mine are roasting.

I can see that you've exposed your chestnuts to the fire, and that's what it's all about, really, just relaxing.

And this, unbelievably, is our fifth annual review our first one was in 2019 this is number five and once

again I'm going to ask the question was it a good year to be a Beatles fan it's always a good year to be a

Beatles fan and that's always the correct answer but this year in particular was a very different year to be a Beatles fan.

And we'll get to it.

We will get to it.

But if you haven't heard our review episodes before, our plan is to generally walk through what the Fab Four and all peripheral Fab Fourites have been doing for 2023 and see what we all think.

I think it was a good year.

We're certainly in a very different place than we were 12 months ago
