  • Wait.
    Sep 17 2025

    There's probably some really clever way of saying that we made you, um, wait for this episode but here it it now but I can't think of one so anyway, it's Wait!

    Is there much to get worked up about here? Does it continue to give Side 2 of Rubber Soul a boost? And who is the stand-out performer on the track? (Hint: rhymes with Bingo Car)

  • In My Life
    Sep 3 2025

    It's another all-time classic to fall under the Stuffology microscope this episode with Lennon's mighty In My Life.

    Does the song deserve its reputation as one of his very best pieces of work? Do the rest of the band contribute equally? And just how many cover versions are there to be discussed?

  • I'm Looking Through You
    Aug 20 2025

    It's another Bitchy McCartney Number (tm), of which we have had a few lately but how does "I'm Looking Through You" comare to the others? Is there a Wilburys-esque twist (pun very much intended) in the mix? And who's playing what, exactly?

  • Girl.
    Aug 6 2025

    Time for a little Euro-jaunt? Why, I think it might be, as it's time for Girl to take the centre stage!

    Is it a metaphor around Catholic values? Can Lennon manage to land the genre style? And how funny can one set of backing vocals be?

  • What Goes On
    Jul 23 2025

    It's Ringo's chance to take centre stage on Rubber Soul as What Goes On dolefully shuffles into view.

    Is this song as doleful as all the other doleful songs Ringo has sung? Is it worthy of inclusion in a list of doleful Ringo songs at all? And is there any other world to describe this song as other than doleful?

    Doleful.

  • Michelle
    Jul 9 2025

    It's time for a little Gallic flair in podcastland as "Michelle" sashay's into view. How unusual is the song in the Beatles back catalogue? Do cover versions add anything at all? And how did our beloved podcast hosts (it says here) come to the song in the first place?

  • The Word
    Jun 25 2025

    It's time for Andrew and JG to discuss The Word this episode, but what is The Word anyway?

    Does this song work as a precursor to All You Need Is Love? How convincing does the whole thing sound? As is this where the mythologisation of Lennon as "the love one" really begins? Plus there's a discussion around JG's overall rankings of literally every single Beatles song (with the relevant playlist now available on Spotify!)

  • Think For Yourself
    Jun 11 2025

    Time for George's first entry into Rubber Soul as JG and Andrew tackle Think For Yourself. Is the song as bitter as it sometimes appears? How does the political angle work? And who's the impost important player on the track? Plus we dive into the postbag for a little correspondence. (Also, apologies for JG's slightly odd sound - thanks to some technical constrains, the sound quality isn't it's usual high standard. Apologies, folks!)
