Eighth Beatle Bracket! (Part 2)

Apr 05 2025 53 mins  
March may be officially in the rearview, but its Madness sticks around for one more week! Join T.J., Tony, and Producer Casey as they Duke it out over their Eighth Beatle Brackets, and maybe also inadvertently disseminate dubious biographical details. We’re just asking questions here. Like: 🏀🍆 Did Jimmie Nicol "Delonte West" John’s Aunt Mimi? 📡🍆 Can any of us ever t

The "Purdie" Sound of Music, a new true crime series (TRAILER)

Apr 01 2025 3 mins  
It’s 1964. The Beatles have conquered America. But beneath the screams and the hysteria lies a secret—a mystery so audacious, so rhythmically complex, that it has remained hidden for decades. Could it be true that Bernard Purdie, legendary session drummer, played on Beatles records? Join hard-hitting investigator Tony Mendoza as he dives headfirst into one of rock and roll’s

Eighth Beatle Bracket!

Mar 29 2025 65 mins  
It’s March Madness! Can you feel the excitement, between bouts of despair from our rapid descent into a fascist state? And did anyone else pick Fascist State to beat Attica State in the Hate Eight? The UBP takes March Madness more seriously than Americans take hating Duke. (David. F**k him!) Because at the UBP, we have two jobs: being the podcast of academic record for serious Be

Macca Snacks Finale / Paul McCartney’s The 7” Singles Box (2022)

Mar 22 2025 22 mins  
It’s the end of an error, as Tony & T.J. conclude their three years/one day saga of binging reissued Macca 45s with a couple of absolute late-era McCartney gems; and an exclusive, world-wide/WorldStar, legally dubious debut of T.J.'s "Liverpool Oratorio" test pressing! We’ll be back next week with an all new episode where we get in the March Madness spirit; and by that we m

Beatles U.K. Singles That Could Have Been

Mar 08 2025 63 mins  
Move over, "Cloud 9". 1987's biggest release, at least for fans of the kind of hard, f rock that Appleton's legendary WFUK made famous, is Tiffany's "Could've Been".#📁_🍆🎸 But what was ol Tiff singing about? We interpret her lyrics as a listing of songs the Beatles could've (been) released in their real-time, U.K. discography. For those of you for whom Tiffany rocks just a

The Beatles "Live at the BBC" (1994)

Mar 01 2025 56 mins  
In what many scholars consider one of the most revelatory album releases of 1994 (perhaps second only to Sade's "Best of Sade"), the Beatles' "Live at the BBC" provides a portal back to the early 60s, when the Beatles weren't yet quite as popular as the big J.C. This week, T.J and Tony dust off their CD collections to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 30th anniversary of some o

Beatles Fantasy Reunion Setlists

Feb 22 2025 57 mins  
Have you ever had a Rock & Roll Fantasy? The Kinks did. So did Bad Company. And nobody hated Bad Company more than rock music’s Stephen Sondheim. #FireElaineStritch Some Rock & Roll fantasies are quite dangerous, like the troubling, cancel-worthy ones Rick Rubin has about feet. ALLEGEDLY. But others are healthy enough to dream out loud, on, by any reasonable metric, one o

Beatles For Sale (1964) Side Two

Feb 15 2025 64 mins  
The fab four’s fourth fab album, Beatles for Sale, isn’t just absolutely freaking underrated. It offers perhaps the last of their comparatively-less-ubiquitous knockout tunes. Side 2 illustrates this point perfectly, where just about Every Little Thing is magical*. (*May not include cover songs!) And yet, the UBP’s very own Tony “Dave Dexter Junior, Junior” Mendoza wants
