Take a Sad Song: interview with James Campion - Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #99.
Wednesday May 25, 2022
Wednesday May 25, 2022
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.

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. Peace and love,
Sam

Saturday Mar 19, 2022
Welcome to this song-by-song deep dive into McCartney's 1997 album, Flaming Pie. Kindly joining me this week is returning guest, Dr. Duncan Driver (who you will all know from the "One Sweet Dream" podcast!
Hopefully this episode is long enough to further justify why this was split into three parts. Will Memory Almost Full need a similar split? Probably not...
Please enjoy. Peace and love,

Flaming Pie 2/3 - Paul or Nothing Episode #23.3
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
Hey everyone, we are back with part 2/3 of our look at 1997's Flaming Pie. Though, the difference this week is that ALL of the content is actually about the album in question! In this episode we will talk about everyone everyone involved in the album, its production, promotion, sales and reception. You might say that it's heaven on a Sunday...
The reason this is in 3 parts in because there have been more notes than any episode previously, and I wanted to make sure I still got something out for you to listen to. Though, I think you will agree with me (by the end) that this split is justified.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam
