Description
Salon.com – premier news, politics, and culture website – and Wonderwall Communications are pleased to present Everything Fab Four, a podcast focused on fun and intelligent stories about the enduring cultural influence of the Beatles.
No other band, or popular phenomenon for that matter, has had the global impact the Beatles have – and continue to have over 60 years later. They are part of our human fabric; they created music that still brings people together, and just about everyone has their own “Beatles story” to tell – some that are surprisingly deep and unexpected.
Host Kenneth Womack is a world-renowned Beatles historian and author who serves as a Music Culture columnist for Salon in addition to his duties as Professor of English and Popular Music at Monmouth University. On Everything Fab Four, Womack speaks with accomplished actors, musicians, artists and icons about the band’s influence on their lives and work, as well as delving into their own careers and current projects.
Everything Fab Four debuted in 2020 with Steve Lukather of the band Toto as Ken’s first guest, and has since hosted nearly 60 in-depth conversations about the Beatles with artists from many generations and genres, including Weird Al Yankovic, “Little Steven” Van Zandt, Margaret Cho, Joan Baez, Billy Bob Thornton, Darius Rucker, Jeff Daniels, Nancy and Ann Wilson, and Darlene Love.
