  • 2025.07 McCartney 1979 "Back to the Egg" Interview
    Feb 17 2025

    Sam Whiles joins for some chat about "Back To The Egg", but primarily one of the few interviews Paul did for "Back to the Egg". James McCartney was not quite two years old, Wings was settling into the outfit that would become the final iteration, and Paul was toying around with tunes that would become "McCartney II". Also found in this episode is news that is slightly out of date (will that matter in a year, month or even a week?)

  • 2025.06 Key Songs and Songwriting
    Feb 10 2025

    Marv and I sit down with Kenyon Rosewall of the "Note by Note" podcast. We each compile some of our "key" Beatles songs written during the Beatles "first act". Before there was "Help!" or "Rain", there was "Do You Want to Know a Secret", "No Reply", and even a couple of Elvis-inspired three-chord raveups!

  • 2025.05 There's Only One Paul McCartney (BBC 2002 review/overview)
    Feb 2 2025

    2022. Sir Paul McCartney was recovering from the passing of Linda, preparing for a tour backing his "Driving Rain" album, and celebrating fifty years of Queen Elizabeth II. The BBC gathered together a number of interesting and important figures (including Astrid Kirchherr, Jurgen Vollmer, Arthur Kelly and Kermit the Frog?) in advance of his appearance at the Jubilee (and a little thing at Castle Leslie in Glaslough, Ireland). Lonnie and I look back and discuss the documentary and how well it tells (at least some of) Paul's story.
