So Run Devil Run (1999) is just a simple rock and roll covers album right? The background behind it can't be that complicated, right? WRONG!!! Also...I've definitely caught "Robert Rodriguez" syndrome...so many song clips... Please enjoy.

This one took a long time to come out...but only cus I had to make sure I was truly doing the best I could to detail the life and works of a fellow Brummy.  There is A LOT of music in this one folks.

Right, we've had a week to process all of this...What do I mean? You know what I mean.  Yes everyone, we are here today to give the full rundown on The Beatles latest (and "last" ever) song to be released, "Now And Then".  In addition to a full review of the song, we also go through the full backstory leading up to the release "Now And Then" including clips of all of the "Lennon Tapes" that were gifted to the Beatles in 1994, as well as a quick analysis of the motivations behind its 2023 release. As always, this one took far longer to produce than I initially intended, but I am glad it worked out this way as my "hot-take" was wildly different than my views in this final episode. Please enjoy.

Right everyone it's a very collaborative one this week... The main focus of this episode is my swapcast with the Baa Ram Ewe podcast. They are a unique conspiracy and skepticism podcast, and they were kind enough to have me on as the "expert" on the Paul is Dead theory. In this chat me and the host go through a full timeline of events surrounding the conspiracy, the cultural impact of The Beatles and the nature of conspiracies in general. Also, as a cheeky bonus (and because it was too short to be a full episode) in this weeks HOUSEKEEPING segment (23:39) me and old friend of the show Tom Kwei discuss Paul's recent collaboration with The Rolling Stones! The song is called "Bite My Head Off" and we have A LOT to say about it... Please enjoy.

I'm not saying I started this podcast more than half a decade ago to specificially as an excuse talk about this concert...but it was certainly a leading factor! In this part one we will be going through all the backstory, personal and trivia behind the incomparably titanic tribute concert that was held in George Harrison's honour in 2002. The concert, rather aptly, was called The Concert For George and it is simply one of the best things ever.  Also, I did not plan for this one to be nearly this long, but here we are.  Please enjoy.

So Skylar is basically the young, hip person who goes to all the cool Beatle events (that I cannot attend), whom I shamelessly live through, and whose perspective I exploit for content.  Thankfully she was kind enough to walk me through two awesome events in recent Beatledom, those being The Music of Paul McCartney charity concert and The Fest for Beatle Fans, 2023. Please enjoy. Peace and love, Sam

Once again I get to sit down and discuss a bloody good book that I have read. Today, that book is Love and Let Die: Beatles, Bond and the British Psyche, by John Higgs. Come join us as we discuss the book, Bond, The Beatles, and a bunch of digressional topics that I can't even remember... This book is a perfect encapsulation of how British pop culture changed forever with the simultaneous release of "Love Me Do" and "Dr. No" on the same day in 1962. It covers both the wider social trends of the day like art, cultural identity, gender roles, sexuality and masculinity, whilst also telling the stories of the Beatles and Bond in their own right! I wholeheartedly recommend Love and Let Die: Beatles, Bond and the British Psyche and you can find it in all good book shops, both online and on the high street. Please enjoy.

Wait part 4? Yes, that is right everyone, we aren't quite finished with this album yet, and to help me put it to bed once and for all, I am joined by the supremely entertaining T.J. Shanoff. T.J. is a cohost of my favourite Beatles podcast, aka The Untitled Beatles Podcast, and I knew I had to have him on based on his VERY strong views on Driving Rain. Please enjoy.

Hey everyone, once again it is time for a proper album review episode with 2001's Driving Rain! As per the usual, part 1/3 is setting the scene and context and so because of this we are gonna cover some pretty heavy topics. It'll pick up at the end up some talk of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the release of McCartney's book of paintings, but for the most part...we are covering... The Death of Linda McCartney Paul Meeting/Marrying Heather Mills McCartney & the September 11th Attacks on New York. Definitely not your regular kind of episode! Please enjoy.

Continuing with our run of authorial interviews; I am kindly joined by James Campion, the author of "Take a Sad Song: The Emotional Currency of Hey Jude". This is a book that eschews all the grand, sweeping scope of most Beatle texts and replaces it with an incredibly detailed and granular deep dive into a single Beatles tune. If you ever wanted to know ALL there is to know about Hey Jude, or are interested in how songs work in general, this book is not to be missed! Also, I do apologise for not actually stating the entire title anywhere in this episode! Please enjoy. Peace and love,    Sam You can buy "Take a Sad Song: The Emotional Currency of Hey Jude" at all good book shops/websites.   If you want to support the show, check out our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/mccartneypodcast To get in contact with the show, drop us an email at [email protected] Follow us on Twitter for all Macca updates by searching @mccartneypod.  Check out our YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXcuhC1jm1wqhUTWhVS-r6A  If you haven't seen the blog, check it out at www.paulmccartneypod.wordpress.com where you can see loads of episodes start out life as a random blog post, before being resculpted into the quality content you are here for today!  Hosted by Sam Whiles.

It is now time, with great sensitivity, poise, respect, patience and care...to talk about dames, broads, doll-faces, darlings and sweethearts, and their relationship with the Fab Four. But in all seriousness, go check out Dr. Christine Feldman-Barrett's incredible book "A Women's History of the Beatles", as it is one of the best reads about the Fabs that you can buy. It is available at all respectable book stores both online and on the high street.  Please enjoy.
