Allan Kozinn & Adrian Sinclair - 'McCartney Legacy Vol 2'
I'm delighted to welcome Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair back to the pod to discuss Volume 2 of their McCartney Legacy series.
Volume 2 covers Paul's life from 1974 up until the start of 1980 and is researched in the same fascinating detail as Volume 1 was - for this conversation I wanted to focus on what happened to Paul and Wings after their 1976 World Tour concluded, he'd reached the top of the mountain again - what happened next?

Elliot Mintz - 'We All Shine On - John, Yoko & Me'
My very special guest for this episode is Elliot Mintz who first encountered John and Yoko in his role as a late night radio host in 1971.
a strong bond between the three of them soon formed after these interviews, and soon Elliot became an almost daily part of their lives. His book tells the story of this friendship, From the breakup of The Beatles to the birth of John and Yoko’s son Sean, to John’s death and beyond, Elliot was there through it all, either to witness it or as a friendly voice at the end of the phone.

Yvonne Innes - 'Dip My Brain In Joy'
I'm joined for this bonus, mini episode by Yvonne Innes to discuss her biography of her husband, Neil Innes.
In my view, Neil was one of the largest contributors to British culture of the last 50 years, and is beloved to all Beatle fans as co creator of The Rutles. Yvonne's book is full of humour and love and tells her husband's remarkable life story with all the insight you'd expect.
