S2, E18, All You Need Is Love (with Martin Lewis)
In this wide-ranging episode, Bessy and Armin are joined by the polymathic Martin Lewis: producer, humorist, writer, TV/radio host, marketing strategist and acclaimed Beatles scholar.
As the co-creator (with Monty Python’s John Cleese) and producer of the “Secret Policeman’s Ball” series of benefit shows, albums and films, his work with Pete Townshend, Sting, Bob Geldof and others is credited with helping inspire “Live Aid” and other benefit events.
In Part 1, Armin and Martin dive into the power of satire, and the real causes of The Beatles’ breakup, challenging long-standing myths with a historian’s perspective.
In Part 2, Bessy and Martin explore deeper themes of goodness, environmental responsibility and the urgent truths of climate change. All discussed with Martin’s trademark wit. Blending conscience and cultural insights with masterful storytelling, this episode is an entertaining and thoughtful voyage with a genuine Renaissance Man.
