We chatted with him on his program The Occult Beatles about the Ancient Egyptian veneration of the scarab beetle… Dr. Bob’s time in the ’60s as an album cover designer… parallels between Yellow Submarine and the Hero’s Journey popularized by writer/philosopher Joseph Campbell… and so much more!

Dr. Bob talked with Matt back in 2012 to celebrate the release of Yellow Submarine on DVD and Blu-ray. Listen to that interview here

Conspiro TV’s Matt Sergiou interviewed Dr. Bob in 2012 to mark the DVD/Blu-ray release of the Yellow Submarine movie.

Hear about Dr. Bob’s dealings with Apple Records and his relationships with some of The Beatles’ inner circle, like publicist Derek Taylor and record producer Sir George Martin. Relive the night when he brought together the crew of the movie for a 30th anniversary reunion TV special at the BBC.

And flash back to Dr. Bob’s days as an album cover and poster designer for Elektra Records sharing his knowledge of occult symbols with some of the biggest names in rock music history, including Jimi Hendrix.
