Beatles MP3 Audio Liverpool Walk

Podguides began by offering London podcast walking guides, to download onto your iPod or other MP3 player. They now have two new Liverpool walks, including the Beatles

Podcasts are increasing in popularity all the time, and visitors to Liverpool can now do their own self-guided Beatles walk round the city centre thanks to a new podcast available from Podguides. There's also another Liverpool city centre podcast walk, which shows the wealth of Liverpool's history by concentrating on just one street – Hope Street.

BEATLES LIVERPOOL MP3 WALK

The downloadable Beatles MP3 walk is narrated by well-known Beatles expert Spencer Leigh. It shows why these downloadable walks are so popular, as instead of making your own way round Liverpool city centre, you'll be given a personal audio tour by a leading Beatle expert. Spencer Leigh is the author of Twist and Shout! And Let's All Go Down the Cavern, as well as a biography of that other great Merseyside pop icon, Billy Fury.

Spencer Leigh's Beatles podcast takes you on a tour of the places where the Beatles played, the pubs where they would meet for a drink, where they bought their guitars and records, where they met with Brian Epstein, and other places that have now gone down in Merseybeat history.

HOPE STREET LIVERPOOL MP3 WALK

Hope Street is one of Liverpool's best-known and most fascinating streets. It is appropriately the street which runs between Liverpool's two major cathedrals. One of the best-known curious facts about Liverpool is that its Anglican cathedral was designed by a Catholic and its Catholic cathedral was designed by an Anglican.

Blue Badge Guide Diane Cox devised this walk down Liverpool's Hope Street, which is narrated by Liverpool actor Roy Carruthers. As well as the two Liverpool cathedrals, the Hope Street walk takes in the Everyman theatre, the famous Philharmonic Hall and the equally famous Philharmonic pub – to which the Beatles were no strangers.

If the two Liverpool walks are as good as the London Podguides walk around Southwark that I sampled, and reviewed for The Times, then I will definitely be downloading them both to add to all the Beatles tunes already on my MP3 player!
