The mystery of the missing podcast

Early in November, a podcast began appearing online called "Beatles Anthology Revisited." The series consisted of 18 parts with new shows appearing each few days ranging from 1 1/2 to over 2 hours and paid tribute to the 20th anniversary of "The Beatles Anthology". It was incredibly well-done with interviews woven in the shows throughout from the Beatles and others. 

Well, of course, this series was completely unofficial. And it got noticed by the powers that be because now it's disappearing. At least one site that did have it no longer does. If you're interested, find it where you can. As soon as you can. 

And we'd love to hear from the person behind it.
