Magical Mystery Talk

This edition of ‘Magical Mystery Talk’ is a solo effort. Mark and Desiree are stepping back from this one - it’s an episode in which I look back on what’s been going on in the world of the Beatles so far in 2026 – the events, news, and happenings - from an occult and conspiratorial angle, of course.   In terms of public activity, it’s been busy for members of the McCartney family, as ever… Paul’s...

It's a first for us Magical Mystery Talkers – and for you too! On December 8th – on what marked 45 years to the day that John Lennon lost his life – myself (Matt Sergiou), and Desiree Hall, and Mark Devlin presented a live-stream edition of Magical Mystery Talk.   There was plenty to mention with regards to Lennon’s murder, including some developments in an email I received via David Whelan’s ‘Sub...

A majority of the focus (but most certainly not all) of this 10th episode in the ‘Magical Mystery Talk’ podcast series with me, and fellow Beatles blogger Desiree Hall, and renowned author and public speaker on many facets of the occult and conspiratorial in the music-world, Mark Devlin, is on the background surrounding the 1973 John Lennon album ‘Mind Games’ which was re-released in 2024 as a box...

As ‘Magical Mystery Talk’ co-host Mark Devlin says in his opening intro to this latest episode of the podcast series, there’s a whole load to talk about. Indeed there was. Welcome to episode nine - number nine, number nine, number nine … - of Magical Mystery Talk, and of all the events and happenings of a Beatles-related nature that occurred in 2023 and that’s talked about and analysed from an occ...

There was a lot that myself, Mark and Desiree agreed had to be covered in this episode of Magical Mystery Talk, which is an episode reviewing Beatles-related events, news and happenings from 2022… With the ‘rona still being in the news during 2022, you perhaps won’t be surprised to learn that it gets some attention in this episode (and as it has in previous editions), with the spotlight in this re...

In this edition of ‘Magical Mystery Talk,’ that was recorded at the end of February 2022, Mark, Desiree and myself touch on and talk about yet more Beatles-related topical news-items that have been doing the rounds, and in this episode, we’re playing a bit of catch-up as it’s been a while since the three of us met together for the last episode that was published – that was back in July 2021. In Ma...

As the world continues to be gripped by the Corona drama, it’s perhaps no surprise that the sixth episode of ‘Magical Mystery Talk,’ this topical delve into the occult/conspiratorial aspects of The Beatles’ world, should include elements of this. My fellow co-hosts, Desiree Hall (of the Beatles/occult/conspiracy site 'TheNumberNine' blog), author and campaigner Mark Devlin and myself discuss repor...

This is the Bonus Edition of ‘John Lennon’s Murder, 40 Years On,’ the second of two ‘Magical Mystery Talk’ instalments looking in to the shooting of the former Beatle back in December 1980… In this Bonus Edition, myself and my fellow Magical Mystery Talk host Desiree Hall (of the occult/conspiratorial Beatles site, ‘The Number Nine’ blog) take a deeper dive into a number of the aspects surrounding...

To coincide with forty years having now passed since the shooting of John Lennon, in this fourth edition of ‘Magical Mystery Talk,’ Mark, myself and Desiree shine a spotlight on this event and discuss a number of the inconsistencies, contradictions and seeming anomalies in the official narrative as trumpeted by the mainstream media. In this fourth edition of Magical Mystery Talk – and which is act...

Among the topics discussed by Desiree, Mark and myself in Part 3 of this podcast series, the seeming contradictions in the mainstream narrative surrounding what was deemed to be the recent fiftieth anniversary date of the break-up of The Beatles, April 1970, a date which was also the date of the release of Paul McCartney’s first solo album proper, ‘McCartney.’ The LP came, at the time, enclosed wi...

In ‘Part 2’ of the podcast series… Mark, Desiree and myself look back at the creations of Robert Freeman, the English photographer who died this year aged 82, and who’d shot many of The Beatles’ earliest album-covers, two of which have caught the attention of occult-clue watchers, those being 1963’s ‘With The Beatles’ (what with its ‘one-eye / black-white duality’), and 1965’s soundtrack to the mo...

In ‘Part 1’ of the podcast series… Mark, Desiree and I discuss the recently-unleashed big-screen British film, ‘Yesterday,’ directed by English movie-maker, Danny Boyle, perhaps best known for the flicks, ‘The Beach,’ ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ and the ‘Trainspotting’ excursions. This latest release of his, the screen-play of which was written by ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ writer, Richard Curtis, c...
