• Episode 252: Ranking Paul McCartney's Live Albums

  At the suggestion of a listener, we rank Paul McCartney’s officially released live albums—that is, no video-only releases, bootlegs, or unofficial recordings. We explore the pros and cons of live albums in general, how Paul assembles them, the bands he’s played with, and the song choices for each release. We also share some ideas for future re-releases we’d love to see. As always, we wrap up with the latest news (and noting the passing of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone) as of our recording date and some listener feedback. Have your own ranking? Share it with us by email or on social media. Enjoy the episode!

• Episode 250: Review of Wings, "Back to the Egg"

  Thank you for helping us reach 250 episodes! To celebrate, we're finally diving into one of our most requested albums: Back to the Egg by Paul McCartney and Wings, released in 1979. Long overlooked and still awaiting a super deluxe reissue—alongside London Town—this record has become a fan favorite in recent years. But is it a hidden gem or rightfully criticized? Does it deserve a reappraisal, and why hasn't it been re-released since its 1993 "remaster?" We explore all this and more, including a full track-by-track breakdown. As always, we wrap up with the latest Beatles news. Here is Chris's "Scrambled Egg" song reordering of the album. Check out Chris's recent interview appearance with Thomas Gouker and Brooke Halpin!  And Thomas speaking with Dave from a while back!  Feel free to email or record a message about this episode to [email protected] and we'll include you in our "Please Mr. Postman" segment.

• Episode 249: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 34: The "Yokos!" - "Oh Yoko" and "Dear Yoko" by John Lennon

  In this episode, we go back into the lab to talk about two "Yoko" songs by John Lennon: "Oh Yoko" from 1971's Imagine and "Dear Yoko" from 1980's Double Fantasy. As usual, we discuss the lyrics, the context, the music, and cover versions. Which song do we like better? Which one works better in context on their respective albums? Are there any interesting cover versions of such personal songs? We also catch you up on some more news (Recorded 4/19/25).

• Episode 248: Beatles "Friends" -- Allen Klein

  Apart from Yoko Ono, probably no other figure in the Beatles story is as divisive and hated as much as Allen Klein. Klein was brought into clean up the business disaster that was Apple, and to get a better contract and more money for the Beatles. After his work with Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, and others, the Beatles gave Klein a chance to improve their finances in 1969-70, with agreements that lasted for the next several years. In this episode, we dig into the background of Allen Klein, his rise to prominence, his work with The Rolling Stones, and of course shine an extensive light on his rise and fall with the Beatles as a group and as solo artists. Is he really the villain we've been led to believe he was? Or did he do some good things for the group? Listen and find out!
