Acclaimed rock vocalist Ann Wilson, who says "there's nothing I like more than discussing the Beatles," joined host Kenneth Womack to do just that on the season 3 finale of "Everything Fab Four," a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.

Wilson and her younger sister Nancy make up the legendary, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band Heart — the first hard rock group fronted solely by women — who were behind such hit songs as "Magic Man," "Crazy On You" and "Barracuda." As Ann tells Ken, their mother "always played music in the house" but it wasn't until she was 12 and her older sister Lynn brought home the "Meet the Beatles" album that everything changed. "I don't think she realized what it would do to me," she says. "It was all over."
