“I think that love will never die. Once you know somebody, you can never unknow that person. And knowing is loving. So you never can get out of love.”

The Dolls Pod Beatle Girl miniseries concludes! Part two of our “Oh Yoko!” episode focuses on her music, activism, and of course, we tell the ballad of Yoko and John.

Also: car seats and nurseries and baby names, oh my! Emma is settling into her last few weeks before baby arrives. Join us for the emotional season two finale of the Dolls Podcast, available wherever you stream your podcasts ☁️

“The average rating of our podcast is too high,” we lamented. “Let’s incite a mob of one-star reviews just for covering Yoko Ono!” We giggled, as we rubbed our little hands together like flies.

Season 2 of the Dolls Pod is going down screaming, or whatever you call those distinct vocal stylings. The fifth episode of our Beatle Girl miniseries is here, focusing primarily on Yoko Ono’s life and art before meeting “JOOOOOHN!”

If you hate Yoko, you will hate this episode. If you love Yoko, you will hate this episode. “Oh, Yoko!” is available now, wherever you stream your podcasts 🌊

Our 4th episode of the Dolls Pod Beatle Girl miniseries is all about Lovely Linda!

As Linda Eastman, she was one of rock-and-roll’s premiere photographers, capturing the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones, and the first woman to photograph a Rolling Stone cover. As Linda McCartney, she was an animal rights advocate and one half of one of rock-and-roll’s most beloved couples. With Linda’s love, Paul soared to new heights. Linda was proof you don’t have to choose between being a working woman, a rock-and-roll woman, and a domestic goddess. She truly did it all! (Plus, Abby recounts her visit to the World’s Tallest Filing Cabinet.) Earn your “Wings” with the latest episode of the Dolls Pod, available wherever you stream your podcasts 📸
