Hello everyone, and welcome to the first (and probably only) episode of Punnit or Nothing! Basically, I was a part of a sadly-now-defunct podcast called Punnit (go check it out). The format of the show is taking two abstract concepts, smash them together and make some puns. Hopefully, it is all as simple as it sounds. But don't worry, I'll explain later. Of course, I am blessed to be joined by the...

At a time where I really should be using my time much more wisely, I instead ended up getting my notes wrong for this episode. What follows is a casual conversation with Jonathan and Julia from the Ranking the Beatles podcast.  I guess this episode is about making the best of a mistake, and not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

So yeah folks, this is the first time I have ever officially posted a "lost" episode of the show. Originally, this was part of the "Catch-Up" side series, where me and Kit O'Toole were going to cover Give My Regards to Broadstreet, both the film and the album. However, the audio quality of the episode meant the whole thing was sadly shelved. After finding the file in a hard drive transfer the RAW...
