Episode 210: In Conversation with Eoghan Lyng, author of "Queen: Song by Song"
It's no secret that Brian and Sarah are huge Queen fans. Consequently, when they were presented with the opportunity to talk with the author of a book which covers every Queen song on every album, our hosts jumped at the chance!
The author is Eoghan Lyng, and the book is Queen: Song by Song. The book is scheduled to be released by Fonthill Media in the UK and Europe on November 30, 2026, and it should be available for those in the US by January 30, 2027.
Eoghan Lyng is a writer who has contributed to such outlets as Far Out, Pop Matters, and the Irish Post. He's also the author of Decades: George Harrison in the 1970s and U2: every album, every song (On Track).
Brian and Sarah met up with Eoghan online to talk about the creation and content of the book, and of course they dove into discussions about many Queen songs and albums. And because every song on every album is reviewed, it's a perfect opportunity to talk about works which don't always get as much attention as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Night at the Opera. So if you want to hear takes on songs such as "Fun It" and "You Don't Fool Me," this is the episode for you!
Additionally, Eoghan has written about Timothy Dalton as James Bond, so of course Brian couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about his favorite Bond! This means Sarah finds herself in familiar territory during the conversation, as she persuades the other two to turn their attentions back to Queen. They comply by instead discussing Dalton's role as Prince Barin in the movie Flash Gordon!
The entire conversation—covering Queen, Bond, and a few other topics such as The Beatles and Boy George—is entertaining and enlightening, so please check it out—and then make sure to pre-order Queen: Song by Song so you'll be the first on your block to own it!
