That's what author Marcus Benjamin Ray Bradley's new book, \"Imagining All the People\" is all about -- a poetic re-telling of the people imagined in the lyrics of the Beatles in their songs. Bradley discusses the idea behind the book, the cooperative effort that put it together and his work in writing it. It's a geeky idea that takes the Beatles' songs places you'd never thought they'd go. Plus we have some late-breaking Beatles News Briefs. Have a listen!
