The Beatles at the BBC – The Masters, a 6 hour radio special
In 2013 Capitol UME in coordination with The BBC, released another double disc of Beatles songs and chat called "The Beatles Live at The BBC - The Collection", 37 MORE previously released performances and 23 newly available speech tracks into ONE 4-disc set. To promote the release, BBC archivist Kevin Howlett compiled a book to bring us even MORE information. That same year, The BBC and Westwood One (whom at that time distributed Beatle Brunch nationwide) put together a 6-hour radio special on the performances, the jovial content between the BBC anchors and The Beatles and sent it out to US radio stations to air. We think this show is way older than that . We don't know how many stations, if any, aired the special, but we have it for you here in Old Brown Shows commercial free, this 12-track program runs just shy of 6 hours, released here for the first time. Enjoy all you lucky Beatle Brunch Club members!

We came across a CD of the live show in the car and bring it to you now for the first time.
Steve Miller Band – 50 Years of The Joker – radio special
Beatle Brunch brings our members commercial free radio specials like, Steve Miller Band's 50th anniversary of his #1 hit, THE JOKER, with Steve speaking about all the songs on it and more great storytelling. He was about to record the last album on his contract. He had been touring relentlessly for years, released seven albums over the previous five years, and was pretty much worn out. He went into the studio to record what would become The Joker album, which brought him his first number-one single of the same name. To mark the 50th anniversary of this landmark album, UME/Capitol Records have released Steve Miller - J50 - the Evolution of the Joker, which contains 27 additional previously unreleased tracks to go along with the album's original nine.
