’Paul Or Nothing’ Podcast

Me and Ken Michaels spend a couple of hours getting uppity over people constantly slagging off Macca's musical output during the 1980's. Come listen to a man who was doing McCartney radio in the 80's, and a guy who wasn't even alive in the 80's discuss McCartney's most unfairly maligned and misunderstood decade. Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna. Time Stamps: Intro - 00:00 - 04:32 Housekeeping - 04:...

Greeting everyone, It's my absolute pleasure this week to speak with Joe Wisby of Beatle Books fame, and as you may have guessed, we're gonna talk a bit about books, and a bit about the Beatles...maybe even combined!
