Welcome to the first series of this season, Lennon Reveals: The St Regis Series, where we dive deep into one of the most fascinating and underapprecia...
Play EpisodeA hugely comprehensive and well researched podcast that has shone a light on the nature of the complex relationships within The Beatles and finally makes sense of why the breakup came about, beyond the PR friendly “Those wedding bells…breaking up that old gang of mine” front. I’m keenly waiting for the St Regis series to continue and wondered if Apple have slapped an injunction on the show for revealing too much! Hopefully not. Long may this podcast continue its mind-blowing revelations.
In so many ways, Diana provides a wonderfully unique and thoughtful perspective on the Beatles and the interpersonal relationships that drove them. Every episode is thoroughly researched with contemporary sources and interpreted in an emotionally intelligent way not often seen in this fandom. This podcast has changed the way I see the Beatles story!

I absolutely love One Sweet Dream! Diana Erickson certainly knows her Beatles and solo history well, the notation details regarding contemporaneous interviews she references are impressive and often send me on investigations that make me a smarter and more well informed fan. She has great overall perspective on “the human condition” and the dynamics of psychology, and she’s a musician so there are great filters and approaches in play on a few different and important levels. I don’t agree with her take on every little thing, but she’s spot on with the lens that a lot of Beatles biographical approaches can go on auto pilot and rely too heavily on biographies that came before versus digging into the story with a little more clarity. Her interviews with musicians have been a particular highlight, the episodes with Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, and Tim Heidecker were fantastic, always cool in my book to hear musicians I love reveal that they love the Beatles and also go deep in their knowledge and explorations. I also found “The Breakup Series” to be essential listening…again, I didn’t agree with every take or opinion, but I learned a lot! And I’ve been a fan for 50+ years and live and breathe Beatles knowledge, research, etc. Please keep them coming, and hearty appreciation for the fine work across the whole arc of the show.
