Friend of the show Conan O'Brien joins us to talk about the history of the band that changed everything. Why did they meet at a church fete? Why did they really break up? How did four Liverpool teenagers become the most influential band on earth? What made their music and charisma irresistible to a generation? Tom is joined by Conan O’Brien to explore the Beatles’ meteoric rise and fall: the personalities, the breakthroughs, and the explosive cultural impact that turned a local act into the defining band of first the sixties, and then the 20th century. The Beatles’ landmark “Anthology” original eight-part documentary series has been restored and remastered for 2025 and is available to stream now, exclusively, on Disney+ .
