Welcome to the Inner Light Podcast, where we hope to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of our favourite Beatle George Harrison, and delve into everything from his music to his extraordinary life.
In this episode we discuss George’s poignant song “Beware Of Darkness” from its creation to its relevance in today’s pop culture and climate. This song has always been in relative ‘darkness’ and ambiguity compared to the tracks surrounding it on the album but in 2025 it’s finally getting the revaluation it really deserves and we hope this episode plays a part to prolong this song’s levity into the future.
Happy Halloween and let us know if you’d like to see more song-focused episodes!

In this episode we have both curated our dream George Harrison setlists and discuss them blindly to each other to see what similarities, differences and disparities we have. Nothing is off limits here, we can be as delusional as we like.
Apologies for the slight delay with this episode, we just wanted to ensure it was up to snuff and we hope you enjoy it!!
We’d love to hear any dream setlists below in the comments. It's always so much fun with these imaginary scenarios - let us know if you’d like more content like this.

In this episode we will be discussing George Harrison’s revered performance at The Prince’s Trust 1987 Rock Gala and how it was the thing he needed to rejuvenate not just himself but his career in music 2 months before the release of his album ‘Cloud Nine’.

Welcome to the Inner Light Podcast, where we hope to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of our favourite Beatle George Harrison, and delve into everything from his music to his extraordinary life.
We are proud to be kicking off Season 2 of The Inner Light with our foray into the Traveling Wilburys universe as we unpack their origins as well as their personal relationships for how the band we know came to be from first meetings to their debut single ‘Handle With Care’.
Exploring the nuanced relationship of each Wilbury is crucial to us in how we will be tackling their music in the future and we hope you get as much out of it as we have curating it.
The Wilburys have been a heavily requested era for us to tackle and we hope we gave it justice.

Welcome to the Inner Light Podcast, where we hope to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of our favourite Beatle George Harrison, and delve into everything from his music to his extraordinary life.
In today's episode we will be revisiting the Material World as we dissect George’s 1973 smash hit, ‘Living In The Material World’.
We will delve into the history of the album, the tribulations circling it and of course the songs themselves.
No stone will be left unturned; we’ll even have a tangent on the cover art.
It’s a big one so buckle in!!
Thanks to you guys voting over on our Instagram you decided what album we would be covering and we hope we delivered on this deep dive.
It’s been a long time in the making we hope you enjoy x
PS A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is who we are referencing in ‘Living In The Material World’ it would be distasteful for us to butcher a name of his calibre.
PPS The track by track dissection starts at 39:15.

Welcome to the Inner Light Podcast, where we hope to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of our favourite Beatle George Harrison, and delve into everything from his music to his extraordinary life.
In today's episode we will spicing up our Deep Dive formula to cater to the album that never was.
George Harrison’s ‘Somewhere In England’ was never intended to be the album we received and was one that George was proud of.
Playing with old and new friends, reconnecting with his faith and spiritual awareness as well as his new found fatherhood it provided him a fresh slate for creating music much like his self titled album that predates the year before.
Ultimately, this album was rejected by Warner to be reworked but in this episode we pay homage to what was dropped, what was added and all the ‘what if’s’ in between.
We hope you enjoy!

In today's episode we will be looking at songs in George’s catalogue written about his son Dhani as well as songs that Dhani has contributed towards.
Within the episode, we also evaluate their relationship together and how Dhani has gone through great lengths to not only protect his father’s legacy, but to carve out his own.
Please note, this episode deals with some heavy topics such as loss, so viewer discretion is advised.
Thank you all so much for your continued support. It truly means the world and we hope you enjoy it!

In today's episode we will be covering the relationship of George Harrison and John Lennon between 2 pivotal charity events that shaped and changed their relationship post breakup.
We will be covering from the fall of The Beatles with Lennon’s ‘Live Peace In Toronto’ and how their relationship blossomed in the post Beatle years to the eventual fallout for The Concert For Bangladesh.
This episode also follows the centerpieces inbetween for their relationship being Lennon’s last UK show at the Lyceum Ballroom and the recording sessions for Imagine.
Apologies for the gap in the schedule and thanks for sticking with us, this episode should've come out a fortnight ago but due to some funny antics with the tech we had to re-record. Nonetheless we really hope you enjoy and thank you so much for sticking with us!

Welcome to the Inner Light Podcast, where we hope to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of our favourite Beatle George Harrison, and delve into everything from his music to his extraordinary life.
This episode takes a deviation from the feature lengths you were getting used to due to scheduling conflict but Harry is here to discuss the lesser known sessions between Harrison and Dylan in late November, 1968 as Dylan’s Woodstock home.
This episode will discuss how Dylan’s domesticated life had an impact on Harrison and his songwriting and the creative freedom/ inspiration both artists shared and the seeds of a loving friendship that would only grow in the years to come.
Hopefully we will be back to full operations within the next episode, thank you for bearing with us and in the meantime enjoy this little nugget on what we deem a revolutionary time for George Harrison.

Welcome to the Inner Light Podcast, where we hope to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of our favourite Beatle George Harrison, and delve into everything from his music to his extraordinary life.
This episode is a little different to our usual content and is a personal ‘Ranking’ of all of George’s 10 mainline studio albums. We will be covering from right where we left off from ‘The Apple Years’ last episode and explore all of his main musical output with our personal thoughts, feelings and insights. This format will be a lot more laid back as opposed to our deep-dives as we lean less on sources and more our personal inferences to rank what we deem is a near-perfect discography.
Prepare your popcorn, drinks and tissues because this episode is feature length and juicy. We’d love to hear your rankings as well as it is a very personal experience for us that we’d love to share and just a content warning that we discuss some darker tones in this episode covering grief and mental health to name just a few so please bear this in mind before watching.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we have making it, much love.
