First Released June 2020

The Road to Anthology 1968-1993

By the time The Beatles Anthology finally appeared in 1995, it had taken over 25 years to produce. To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2020, Nothing Is Real made three episodes looking at the acclaimed documentary. 

In this episode Steven and Jason navigate the years from 1968, when the idea arose through to 1992 when the cameras started rolling.

The Beatles Last Tour - NIR Live 2023 Part Two

The Beatles First Tour (NIR Live 2023 Part One)

NIR went on tour in 2023, so it seems fitting to tell the story of The Beatles’ first and last tours. In the beginning there was Johnny Gentle, 

a singing star with enough capital to play venues in the rural highlands of Scotland with the untested Beatles. What could possibly go right?

Nothing Is Real Live 2023 - The Q&A Sessions

Mark Lewisohn is the world’s leading Beatles historian and writer. He is currently touring Hornsey Road, an in-depth 2-hour presentation about the Abbey Road album. As every Beatles fan knows, he is also in the middle of the “30-year project” that is All These Years, the definitive Beatles biography. In the first of two parts, Mark talks about Hornsey Road, and how he went from the pen pals section of The Beatles Book to talking himself out of a job as Paul McCartney’s official biographer.
