Dr. Bob and Laura chatted with icon Cha-Chi LoPrete of Boston’s WUMB Radio Network and Professor David Gallant on their podcast Get Back to the Beatles. We talk a lot about how important Heinz Edelmann is as a visionary animator and why Yellow Submarine is such an important cultural artifact to everyone regardless if you’re a Beatles fan or not. Tune in & please share with a friend!
Matt Sergiou of Conspiro TV blows us away with his insight into the mythology of Yellow Submarine. 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!
