"Hey Grandude": Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode - #40 Mar 05, 2020

Hey there chillers, and welcome to another episode of Paul or Nothing.
Today we will be reading out loud and looking at pretty pictures as we explore Macca's latest foray into children's literature, "Hey Grandude" (2019). This book and/or picture picture book features the adventures of the magical, titular Grandude who whisks his four chillers (grandkids) off on some very whimsical adventures.

Will it compare to "Moby Dick", Homer's "The Odyssey" or Band on the Run??? Come find out...

Also, as a bonus, make sure you stay past the end of the regular "Hey Grandude" episode to listen to some exclusive stories from the Press to Play-era from one of our awesome listeners.

Please enjoy. Hare Krishna. Peace and love.

‘Press to Play’ - Paul Or Nothing Episode #16, Part 1/2. Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

Greetings fellow Paul bearers and welcome to the first of two instalments that explore Paul McCartney's 1986 album, 'Press to Play'. This is an album that, apparently, is the worst effort that Macca has ever put to print. Well, let's put that to the test shall we?

In this episode we cover...

McCartney's Decline in Popularity
Linda's Drug Bust
Live Aid
Eric Stewart vs Hugh Padgham, aka "The Producers".
The recording of the album.
The album artwork.
The critical reception.
....and I will not be covering Give My Regards to Broadstreet, even though it did technically happen during this period. That is all coming in a future episode!

This has been another one of those episodes that has taken far too long to come out, but I hope the wait was worth it! Please enjoy....
