The Beatles World Cup
The Best... Non-Standard Instrument
We're back... again! This week: The Best Use of Non-Standard Instrument. Forget your guitars and drums and pianos - this is all about the beautiful, the obscure or the downright odd instruments that have turned up in Beatles tracks. And yes, the recorder gets a mention.

The Beatles World Cup
The Best... Ringo-centric Song
Don't pass this one by! It's all about Ringo this week, as we work out which Ringo-centric Beatles song is the best of all. We'll act naturally as we dive into a strange bouquet of deeply sonorous musical oddities, but which one will we drum up support for?... Yup, that's all we got.

The Beatles World Cup
The Best... Album Cover
Our Best of specials continue this week with a deep dive into the best Beatles album cover of all time. From photos to drawings, collages to single shots, psychedelia to.. well... nothing! 12 to choose from, only one can win... unless of course two do, as let's face it, Jono and Rob’s favourites rarely align!

The Beatles World Cup
The Best... Opening Track
We're back! After an epic 51 heats, and a wee lie down for a few months, Jono & Rob are back with a special series celebrating the best of the best of the Beatles. This week, the best opening track of a Beatles album. From I Saw Her Standing There to Two of Us and all the bangers in between, we put our patented ranking system into action to work out the winner. Best start listening!

The Beatles World Cup
The Redemption Episode
64 Beatles tracks are through to the knockout rounds of The Beatles World Cup ... but there's just time for a quick revisit of our choices, and the opportunity to right some wrongs and wrong some rights. Rob & Jono each pick a song to bring back, but also a song currently on the list to consign to the dustbin. And in true Power to the People, listeners get to as well! Do we redeem ourselves and atone for past sins? Find out over 17 minutes!

The Beatles World Cup
Heat 51 - The End Of The Beginning
It's here - the final heat of The Beatles World Cup, where we find the final of our 64 tracks that will be going through to the next round. And it's a doozy, as Let It Be and Hey Jude go head to head. It gets deep, it gets emotional, but we remember to talk about Please Mr Postman too. Plus all the news about what happens next, and how you can help us pick a winner!

The Beatles World Cup
Heat 50 - We'll Never Walk Down Lime Street Anymore
It's our 50th heat and the penultimate one, as we race towards the end of the epic first round of The Beatles World Cup. This week, three very random tracks are on the block: All I've Got to Do, Matchbox and Maggie Mae. And if those don't excite you, just wait till you hear what we draw out at the end...

The Beatles World Cup
Heat 49 - Train Ticket to Ryde
You go for weeks without many real Beatles classics coming along, and then three turn up at once! It's getting tougher towards the end, as this week I Want To Hold Your Hand, Ticket to Ride and I Saw Her Standing There are put forward. Two must fall, so that one may live. Pray for us.

The Beatles World Cup
Heat 48 - Jukebox Cafe Fantasy (or A Bit of W*nk)
The first of our three track heats, as A Taste of Honey, Do You Want to Know a Secret and Not a Second Time compete in this grand charade. One features in Doctor Who, one features in Doctor Sleep, and one doesn't even sound like the Beatles. But which is which, and which one is a winner?

The Beatles World Cup
Heat 47 - What Rhymes With More?
We've come to the last of our 4-track heats, as All Together Now, Anna (Go To Him), Dizzy Miss Lizzy and It Won't Be Long go head to head to compete for supremacy and the chance to continue as a potential GOAT contender. More exciting than Beatles in a pram (which also features).

Heat 46 - Three 'I's in One Breath
A very internally focused but delightful bunch of songs this week, as we round the final straight of heats. We choose from I'm a Loser, I've Just Seen A Face, Octopus's Garden and I'll Follow The Sun. Note: we're not who we appear to be...

The Beatles World Cup
Heat 44 - Can't You See it's Too Much?
Still reeling from last week's double classic takedown, this week we're back to quirky mix territory, with a ragtag bunch of oddities, curios, covers and harmonicas. Listen with interest as It's All Too Much, Words of Love, I Should Have Known Better, and The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill go up against each other - one goes on, three go down.

Heat 43 - Crocs & Scotch in an Airport Bar
Well f**k... that's pretty much our response when we picked out this week's random Beatles tracks (well, apart from Mr Moonlight). 3 stone cold classics on the block this week: The Long & Winding Road, A Day in the Life and Yesterday. Two of these must fall... but which? Turn that tension knob up to 11.

Heat 42 - Rob & Jono Split Up
It had to happen really... 42 episodes in and we've found the mix of 4 random Beatles songs that will rock our hitherto peaceful and tolerant co-hosting to the core. But which threatens to shatter the peace? Lovely Rita, I Wanna Be Your Man, Ask Me Why or Please Please Me? Or all of them?

Heat 39 - There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Lyrics
We're firmly back in middle of the road territory this week, as four more random tracks make their case. Which will rise like cream to the top of the breakfast bowl? Good Morning Good Morning, I Need You, Mother Nature's Son or Yes It Is? No animal noises were harmed in the recording of this episode.
