Just in time for some holiday listening The Beatles have quietly launched a new official 6-part podcast celebrating the legacy of the band.

Written, produced and presented by someone close to the band, music historian Kevin Howlett, it features interviews with John, Paul, George and Ringo, as well as many other musicians and producers including George and Giles Martin, Dave Grohl and Mark Ronson,

The podcast documentary ties in with the 50th anniversary reissues of the ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ compilations and also unpacks the story behind the band’s final single, ‘Now And Then’.

Part 1 of The Beatles’ Legacy is divided into three chapters and deals with The Beatles 1962-1966. You can find it here.

Part 2 is also in three distinct chapters and covers off The Beatles 1967-1970. You can find those three episodes here.
