Welcome back Paul-bearers across the globe.
Join us for a very special bonus episode, where this week I have the pleasure of interviewing on of YouTubes rising stars, rising Beatle content stars that is. Hosted by Aneil Maharaj, The HollyHobs is one of the best series of videos I have found in the research for this show. His videos are insightful, well made and tap into an oft overlooked or under appreciated element of a Beatles song. We talk everything from his massive Yoko Ono video which went viral overnight, to annoying our respective partners with constant Beatles-based analogies.
I also brought Aneil on the show to discuss the upcoming 50th anniversary release of the Beatles seminal 1966 album, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. We discuss what songs still hold up, which don't and whether spending $50+ on any CD is worth it.
You can find all of Mr HollyHobs videos on his Youtube page at...

And of course you can find him on Twitter...

Hello goodbye Paul bearers,
Join us once more as we work our through interviewing everyone on my book shelf. Today we will be speaking will Beatle author John Blaney!
We discuss 'Lennon and McCartney: Together Alone' which is a book that was pretty much made for this podcast, as well as 'Beatles For Sale: How Everything They Touched Turned To Gold' which catalogues the endless list of hucksters, shysters and thieves trying to capitalise of the success of the Fab Four.
John Blaney has no website, which is a crime really, and we discuss that in the show but please check out all of his work which you can find online and in all good book shops.
Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Paul or Nothing is alright tonight...
Please join us as we have our first guest co-host on to help review the album at hand. This time it's the big, brash and bold follow up to Band on the Run, and cosmically titled, Venus and Mars. In addition to a song by song review we catch up with Paul's story as he attempts to patch things up with Lennon, heads to Nashville and New Orleans, as well as adding two new members to his backing band....errr THE band.
Sam is joined by Beatles scholar Dr. Kenneth Womack who has written many texts on the fab four including....
- Reading the Beatles: Cultural Studies, Literary Criticism, and the Fab Four (2006)
- The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four (two volumes; 2014).
- Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles (2007).
You can find out more about Dr Ken on his website, www.kennethwomack.com.
Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.
[EDITORS NOTE: This is back when the album reviews were weekly, and whilst the episodes are indeed getting longer and detailed, they still aren't quite at the standard of recent episodes.]

Once again we are delaying the much anticipated 'Venus and Mars' episode to have some good old fashioned, guilt free Beatles chat. Today we are joined by the worlds first and foremost official Beatles scholar, lecturer, author and Youtube personality Aaron Krerowicz.

We're gonna get Ho, Ho, Ho, the night is young!

Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Well, here we are folks, it's not gonna get much better than this is it?
Come and join us for a very special episode of Paul or Nothing to watch us peak far too early as a podcast! We are delving deep into the album that saved Paul from the brink of critical career collapse. This is...well come on, you all know what this is...this is Band on the Run!
We discuss everything from the break up of the second Wings line up, the calamity of the Lagos recording sessions and just how that iconic album cover came to be.
Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.
[EDITORS NOTE: This is back when the album reviews were weekly, and were a little less detailed than the two-part behemoths of more recent episodes.]

This week on Paul Or Nothing we are most fortunate to have an interview with author and Paul McCartney biographer Howards Sounes.

Please listen in as we discuss everything from French cinema, serial killers, sex, drugs and maybe even a bit of Paul McCartney for good measure.
Howards Book, 'Fab: An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney' is one of the podcasts many tomes, and is available on his website (www.howardsounes.com) as well as Amazon and all good book shops.
Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Hello, hello, hello everyone and thank you for joining us at Paul or Nothing!
This week Paul attempts a second wrong to make a right as he tries to recover form the critical failure of Wild Life with another critical failure, albeit a far more deserving one this time around. Come and listen to new fractures within the band, the new "Magical Mystery Tour" and more drugs than you can shake a bong at. Let's go head first down the Red Rose Speedway!
Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Greetings all!
For the first of our bonus episodes we take a slightly different turn when we begin the first of what will hopefully be many interviews with the infinitely knowledgable and kind McCartney expert, Luca Perasi.
Luca is the author of the acclaimed Macca bible, 'Paul McCartney: The recording sessions 1970-2013", which is available on Amazon and in all good book stores. He also has another book on all the fab fours post-Beatle careers in the pipeline!
Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.
