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!)

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!)

It's time for a minor-league Lennon "classic" this week as we stray into Nowhere, Man (cough). Does the song deserve its high reputation? Is it fair to call it entry-level Beatles? And does it have the weight that's often attributed to it?

We turn to relationships and their success or lack thereof as Paul gives us "You Won't See Me" this week. How does the song stand up to the other Jane Asher songs? How must it feel to have your relationship very publically catalogued in this way? And is the song a little under-rated?

Time for a bit of Scandi fun this episode as we indulge in a bit of Norwegian Wood (missus).

Does the song represent a genuinely new direction for The Beatles? Does it actually manage to qualify as poetry? And are there any cover versions that do it justice? Plus we dip into the mailbox for a bit of commentary.

It's time for a fresh new album with a fresh new sound this episode, as JG and Andrew kick off their Rubber Soul discussions with Drive My Car. Does the song prove to be a worthy album opener? Are there any interesting cover versions? Does this truly herald a new period in the band's history? And, perhaps most importantly, why did nobody check out the Beat Bugs episode with this title?

We flip the single this episode to cover the other A side of the first doube-A, Day Tripper. Do Andrew and JG manage to settle which is the best of the two songs? Does Day Tripper stand up to We Can Work It Out's high bar? And how many cover versions do you need to listen to in order to find a decent one?

It's time for not only a double-A single but in some ways the double-A single. In this case, Andrew and JG are tackling We Can Work It Out first (despite some faffing about). Is it the better of the two songs on the single? Will they both agree on which song is superior? And does the song work on its own terms?
