All Things Konsidered: The Beatles Anthology

During Family Day in Canada, my wife and kids and I gathered around our kitchen table to discuss our shared experience watching all nine episodes of The Beatles Anthology documentary series. Please enjoy two parents and their 14- and 11-year-old children reflecting upon what we learned and liked about the Beatles, including who loves John, Paul, George, and Ringo the most. One correction: contrary to what I stated during this talk, Elvis Presley did in fact perform outside of the United States of America for a run of shows in Canada, sorry.  

Featuring music produced by Levon Khanna.
