🎙️ Show Topic: George Martin at 100 — The Beatles’ Sound Architect

🎸 Celebrating the Fifth Beatle at 100 🎸

My latest podcast, recorded on Monday, January 5th, 2026, was a special tribute to George Martin, who would have turned 100 this year. A truly great way to start the year.

We celebrated his incredible work with The Beatles and his genius arrangements for artists like Billy J. Kramer, Gerry and the Pacemakers, America, Shirley Bassey, Cheap Trick, and many more. His sound shaped generations.

A big thank you to our guests Ken Womack, sharing insights from his books on George Martin’s life and career, and Joe Johnson from Beatle Brunch, recalling his memories of meeting George Martin at The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil and other special moments.

It was a meaningful and memorable tribute to the man we proudly call the Fifth Beatle.

🎧 Don’t miss it! Tune in and celebrate the legacy of George Martin — his music lives on.
