\n\tThe Rest Is History<\/a> podcast has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming two-part special on the life and times of the Beatles, with co-host Tom Holland<\/a> and Beatles uberfan Conan O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n

\n\tCreated in collaboration with Apple and Disney+, the two-part series led by the pair, is timed to coincide with the newly restored and remastered\u00a0Beatles Anthology\u00a0documentary series. With rare access to Beatles music and archive material from the Anthology project, Holland and O\u2019Brien tell the story of one of the world\u2019s greatest bands through the lens of the popular history podcast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rest Is History \u2013 Beatles Special with Conan O\u2019Brien launches Wednesday, December 3 on YouTube and all podcast platforms.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019d argue they\u2019re historically significant because they act as lightning rods for everything that made the 1960s such a revolutionary decade,\u201d said Holland. \u201cIn many ways, we in the 21st century are still living in the aftermath of the \u201960s \u2013 just as people in the 16th century lived in the wake of the 1520s. The cultural and ethical transformation is on that scale, and the Beatles were not only symbols of it, but active drivers of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded O\u2019Brien:\u00a0\u201cThe Beatles were a complete break from everything that came before. They were singer-songwriters who wrote their own music, and in so many ways they broke the mold. Most groups at the time had a clear frontman \u2014 Dion and the Belmonts, for example \u2014 and there was real pressure on them to follow that model. For a moment they were even Johnny and the Moondogs. But they always knew they were a group; the power was in the synergy between them, which was unusual then. They were a departure from almost everything that preceded them and remain as relevant today as they were in 1964.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe collaboration follows Holland and The Rest is History co-host Dominic Sandbrook\u2019s\u00a0appearance last month on Conan O\u2019Brien Needs a Friend,\u00a0with O\u2019Brien being a longtime fan of The Rest Is History and a self-confessed Beatles obsessive. Holland and Sandbrook recently collaborated with Disney CEO Bob Iger <\/a>on\u00a0a series of episodes\u00a0exploring the life and times of Walt Disney and the creation of Disneyland.<\/p>\n
