Episode notes
In the very first Chatterbox Redux Podcast show, Sue and Nick are joined by the original Beatles drummer Pete Best, also known as the Fifth Beatle.
Here Pete chats about the early days and how his mother Mona bet every last penny on an outsider on a horserace to make her dreams come true. He chats about the most famous sacking in the world and how he got over it and what he has done with his life.
The interview culminates with Pete's business venture in turning the Casbah into a Beatles themes B&B and Guest House.
