The Long and Winding Road with Beatles Expert Robert Rodgriguez

This week on Some Things Considered I’m joined by Robert Rodriguez—award-winning author, creator of the Something About the Beatles podcast, and one of the most prolific and insightful chroniclers of the Fab Four and their cultural universe. Robert has written or contributed to more than a dozen books, including Solo in the '70s, The Beatles FAQ series, and the critically acclaimed Revolver: How the Beatles Reimagined Rock ‘n’ Roll. He’s also one of the most trusted voices in Beatles fandom, consistently bridging rigorous scholarship with genuine fan enthusiasm. More, he is a community builder, advocate for storytelling of all kinds, and an industry veteran who has successfully navigated a ceaselessly changing media landscape. In this conversation, we cover: The arc of Robert’s creative career — from early fandom to world-class Beatles authority How to build a career by going deep, not wide — carving out your lane with focus and integrity Why community matters — especially for creatives, superfans, and storytellers The evolution of publishing and platforming — from print to podcasts to social media The Beatles as a case study in infinite curiosity — why their story never gets old The challenges and joys of podcasting & self-promotion What AI and the modern internet mean for researchers and writers Advice for new authors and cultural critics — and how the SOP has changed Fan culture, obsession, and the legacy of deep-dive storytelling Robert’s trajectory is a case study of sorts for 21st-century creative success: part old-school passion, part modern hustle, and 100% dedication to the story. If you’re interested in writing, music, media, or the long tail of fandom, this episode will resonate.
