Paul McCartney Joins the Podcast Space

Paul McCartney is launching his own podcast this Fall.

Fans can listen to McCartney: A Life in Lyrics beginning September 20 on all major podcast platforms. The podcast is a companion piece to the icon's book The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, which came out in November 2021.

The book was a work between Sir Paul and poet Paul Muldoon, who interviewed the former Beatle for the release. Muldoon said in a statement, "When we listened back to the tapes, we realized there was something very special happening in these conversations. It was McCartney unfiltered."

The first season will feature 12 episodes. Each episode will examine the stories behind some of Macca's biggest songs from his career. The songs highlight in season one include “Eleanor Rigby,” “Back in the USSR,” “Let It Be,” “When Winter Comes,” “Penny Lane,” “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey,” “Here Today,” “Live and Let Die,” “Magical Mystery Tour,” “Jenny Wren,” “Too Many People,” and “Helter Skelter.”
