It Was Fifty Years Ago "Today"... popGeezer Radio Gets Ready For "1964: BI50" On The Mothership!


February 7, 1964. The Beatles land at JFK, and, as far as "pop", nothing would ever be the same. popGeezer Radio will remember the arrival of the Fab Four and the transformative pop of 1964 with a multi-part special starting on February 2, 2014.

But - to get you ready for that - we spend all January reliving the decade of all this wonder - the 1960's.


It's "Talking 'Bout A Revolution: The 1960's", all month long from popGeezer Radio!


1/5/2014: Part 1, "The Rise of The New Frontier"
1/12/2014: Part 2, "Camelot Falls, Liverpool Rises"
1/19/2014: Part 3, "The Beatles' Summers of Love"

1/26/2014: Part 4, "There's A Riot Goin' On"
