The Goon Show, Yellow Submarine, The Rutles, John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Pete. Chicken Man. Mystery Theater. The Shadow. Old time Radio plays. The "theater of the mind".
WELCOME. This is a radio play of the Beatles story. It is THEATER OF THE MIND. Not merely an audio book nor a (typically miscast) film portrayal of The Beatles story; A Day In The Life: The Beatles (radio) Biography takes each listener on a magical mystery trip through the life and times of the world's greatest band! The script, sound effects, production and yes the VOICES are all the work of the show's creator, Eric Howell. Yes, it's all done by ONE GUY. "This is something I feel John in particular would've liked" says Howell, "given Lennon's penchant for word painting with lyrics like 'picture yourself..', 'turn off your mind...', and of course 'Imagine'. Not to mention the entire concept of letting your mind go in 'Across The Universe'. I hope I've done the legacy proud with my little radio soap, here."
Unlike the films, there's no bad Beatle wigs on actors or half baked caricatures in Howell's one-man show. Listen in and you get the feeling you are IN THE STORY. "With an audio drama series of the Beatles story you're really only limited by your imagination", he says, rubbing his hands together, "and Beatle fans have very wild imaginations. I should know!"
You can listen to short samples here on myspace, and full episodes spanning the lads' entire careers can be downloaded at Beatlesoap.com (approx 3 min in length). "We hope you will enjoy the show!"

Hey! Fab Radio Drama!! Greetings from New York City. Thanks for the ADD which I value and also remembering me from my Chicago BeatlesFest visit. Kinda overwhelming to see such a beautiful response from such a wide audience... especially the younger generation...I feel fortunate to be able to spread the music of THE BEATLES worldwide through my Tribute from INDIA.. Madooo.. The guy with the "BEATLES TRIBUTE ALBUM FROM INDIA"
