And on Thursday, February 4 at 8 pm ET (5 pm PT), Ken Michaels, Steve Marinucci, Al Sussman and Allan Kozinn will talk about Beatles producer Sir George Martin’s 90th birthday, celebrated on January 3, and the Beatles music now streaming on nine online services, including Spotify, on Things We Said Today.
