My new go-to Beatles pod. So much fun! I have personally ranked the Beatles in various ways with a good friend, so I love that Jonathan took this on and we get their deep dive on every song. The guests I’ve heard so far have been really enjoyable, and it’s one of those podcasts where you feel like you’re in a room with some likeminded friends. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the rankings! And I REALLY appreciate the lack of ads, bc some podcasts are soooo jarring with the relentless ad breaks. Thank you J & J for sharing this project with us!

But I knew we were on the same wavelength when you started talking about FenslerFilms G.I. Joe and YTMND. Guest requests: •John Roderick •Ken Jennings •Merlin Mann •Tim Heidecker I bet all 4 of them would be happy to do an episode.

Hi, love your show!!! I’m re- listening to this episode. I think I heard or read recently that Hello Goodbye was the competition for the world broadcast, which makes way more sense. Also your guest was wondering if Paul had taken more piano lessons and, yes, he had. He took piano lessons and George Martin took guitar lessons and said Paul speedily far surpassed him! I’m 68, was 8 years old and saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and it launched me into a life-long love of music.

Thanks to both hosts for their knowledge, humor, musicality, and creativity (though I’m with Julia wholeheartedly on “Not Guilty.”)

This is so good! I love it so much! I am OBSESSED with the Beatles! I know so much about them! The are my IDOLS!

Love listening to the show and how it’s laid out. How the guest got into Beatles then discussions of song ranking and then rapid fire questions. I usually agree with Julia’s rankings more than Jonathan’s. Sorry Jonathan. My brother loved the Rank The Beatles poster I bought him as a gift. So… it makes a great gift. I will never get over Jonathan’s ranking of LAWR but will continue listening and throwing my phone occasionally😳. Oh and such great guests is another reason I listen.

I arrived late to the party but have been burning through the older posts and really enjoying the ride. Finally caught up with the latest today. A good job done all around. I’m a Monkees and Big Star fan as well and love how often they pull a mention. The Gram Parsons mention was also a pleasant surprise. I happen to be an avid You Know My Name(Look Up The Number) fan and look forward to seeing how well it rates. Keep up the good work👍

Love the pod! I've been listening since the first few episodes and it's only gotten better as time has gone on. The energy between Jonathan and Julia makes for a really entertaining listen. His analysis of the songs and their backstories, along with Julia's fresh and unbiased perspectives really balance each other out. Although sometimes Jonathan has some.....bold takes....... it really wouldn't be fun if I agreed with 100% of the rankings! Keep it up guys :)

Sometimes Julia’s mic seems a little quiet. Other than that it’s great. (This is based on only listening through the Hold Me Tight episode. Maybe it gets better sound wise!)

This podcast is a real joy to listen to. Rankong Beatle songs is almost impossible but so far it is hard to argue with most of the places. Its just a lot of fun to losten to. Great hosts and guests. Keep it up.

This kind of show could err in one of two ways. It could either be too analytical (and cold). Or it could be purely subjective (and snobby). Yet, through the warm relational perspective of John and Julia, the show finds itself in the middle of this spectrum. It’s fun, communal, smart, and just right (… just like Baby Bear’s porridge.)

A fun way to learn about all the songs done by the Beatles. Enjoyable, light heart and they don’t take themselves too seriously. Love it and look forward to each episode.

Love this podcast. Yes, you are going to disagree with the rankings. Every single Beatles fan will have a different list, so that’s a given and shouldn’t be taken as a criticism. It’s fun to yell out “What the ****, Julia?! Revolution 9 is a well done song?!!! 8 minutes of ear torture?!” 😆. Best thing about this podcast the is depth! To spend 20-40 minutes per SONG?! Love love love it. Been an obsessed Beatles fan for 35 years. I mostly stopped buying Beatles books, because there was never anything I didn’t already know in them. But these guys pull out facts I’ve never heard. And that alone makes this worth every minute of my time that I spend listening. Thank you thank you.

I found this podcast a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoy it! The hosts are really personable (the kind of people you want to spend time with) but the real bonus of this show is the guest musicians they have on to rate the records - I get a lot of exposure to good music I wouldn’t know about otherwise. Keep up the good work!

Love this podcast especially Julia’s take on the study of the Beatles. A lot of great info and fun podcast. Keep imagining what the top 20 songs will reveal.

This is a really great way to dive into the Beatles catalog. Jonathan is truly insightful and thoughtful with his rankings (despite a few wrong turns here and there), his co-host and wife Julia offers an unbiased honest casual fan take that is a perfect complement to Jonathan’s superfandom (Not judging Jonathan. Just speaking facts). Plus the guests are super informative and interesting. Great podcast.

Ranking the songs of the Beatles? What could possibly go wrong? But somehow this podcast gets it just right thanks to the wit and charm of the co-hosts and their guests. The listener quickly discovers the rankings are used not to incite heated arguments but rather as a starting point to spark a positive deep dive into every Beatle song. Put simply, Ranking The Beatles is a welcome addition to the Beatle podcast universe.

...if you like The Beatles at all. Great guests every week and Jonathan and Julia are fun and genuinely funny (even the tired Mike Love jokes). I listen every Tuesday morning as soon as I wake up. One week around Christmas they took the week off so I just slept the whole week until there was a new episode. It was worth the wait.

I started listening a few weeks ago and have been trying to catch up. I thought I knew a lot about the Beatles, but I’m learning so much. The hosts are fun. Great job!

Love it!!

This podcast is fun and informative. Even if Jonathan ends up having "Revolution 9" in his Top 10, it's still a great show! Julia is an awesome co-host. Check it out!

Nice to see a truly excellent new Beatles podcast. This one is hosted by a very appealing young couple, who along with their well selected guests , have a winning combination of professional musical knowledge and the enthusiasm of fans. It’s an interesting format that by definition promises to only get better as it goes along. If they can make the “Only a Northern Song” episode good then they’re unstoppable

As stated above, I’m super excited to agree or disagree with this guy’s opinions. I mean, with a sultry voice like that, who wouldn’t be? Everything Ringo sang was garbage, and I will fight anyone on this

This is so great. Can’t wait to dive in!

Seriously awesome. JP and Jules rock my face off.

It’s me Noah I love your podcast so much thatI subscribed
