This past week Paul's Pre-Sale for the 2025 Fall North American Tour was announced and on Tuesday diehard fans like us all tried with a myriad of mixed results! Ticketmaster and their "Dynamic Pricing" was a hot bed issue. For this special episode we invited members of the 2Legs Family to join us and share their experiences. Thank You to MVP, Joan, Beatley Tone, Boyan, James, Jeremy and Ted for sharing your ticketing saga! We also pointed out the fact that several content creators incorrectly are blaming Paul for 3rd party exorbitant pricing. Are you all in got the GOT BACK North American Tour? We are! Let us know!
Oh hey! Today, Ash wraps up a beautiful week of conversation with Steph Blair by diving into Matthew 20:28: "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." This verse becomes the heartbeat of a rich chat about what real servanthood looks like. Ash and Steph unpack how serving isn’t always glamorous - but it is holy, transformational, and deeply satisfying. They talk about why we’re invited to be the hands and feet of Jesus, why serving is often messy (and why that’s okay!), and how small acts - like paying for someone’s Macca’s, can spark a ripple of God’s love.

Macca took calls from the warm and the cold this week on Australia All Over. Kevin told us about how the lambs were suffering from the cold in Victoria, while David warmed us up from Cairns in North Queensland.

Hello 2Legs Family, We have a very special one-off non Macca episode to share with you. As most of you know Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys recently passed away in June 2025 at the age of 82. His music has had a profound effect in the development of Andy's musical education along the way. For this episode, Andy paired up with Jonathan Petrus (Ranking The Beatles) and vinylbenjy (of Instagram fame) as all three of us have a shared love and passion of Brian and The Beach Boys music. We share our Beach Boys origins, some deep cut favourites, and lastly our Top 10 Fav's! In the comments, let us know your Top 10! Thanks to Jonathan and Benjy for hopping on for this special tribute. You both brought back many memories! We are a Paul channel, and we know his love of Pet Sounds we feel this was a worthy special episode to drop here because of the significance, love, joy and creativity that Brian Wilson brought us. Love and Mercy Andy - Links: https://rankingthebeatles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/vinylbenjy/

Welcome Back 2Legs Fam! This week we present another Interview Archive Series with Macca. When we do this we try to cherry pick rare and not often seen/discussed interviews. It's late 1987. Paul is riding the wave of success of his 2nd career spanning compilation "All The Best!". He has also been making the rounds on TV shows in Europe to promote his top selling single 'Once Upon A Long Ago' (also included on the UK "All The Best!" only). In the (audio only) interview conducted by Stefan Schlabritz & Slizzy Bob we hear Paul joke about his skills in the german language, the tracks chosen for All The Best!, working with Elvis Costello and Chris Witten to start a new band, and Once Upon A Long Ago. He also discusses his Sgt. Pepper nostalgic pastiche "Return To Pepperland" and compares it with George's 'When We Was Fab'. Something not heard again much from Macca. He also outlines the vision for what will become "The Beatles Anthology" documentary was was only a few years away from happening. We close out the episode with an alternate mimed performance of 'Once Upon A Long Ago' from the German TV Programme Wetten Das. See you guys after the 4th of July! Peace Andy & Tom
Continuing our look at the making of Paul's 2005 album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard; this week we explore the "making-of" the album. This includes... The recording sessions. Stories behind the songs. Album Artwork Promoting the album. Sales figures, and awards. And Critical Reception. Please enjoy.

On Australia All Over this week, Macca was in Lismore while listeners called in from places like Broken Hill, Boulia, and Barcaldine. What was it that Macca wished he had know yesterday? Find out when you hear Shane's call from Tipperary, Ireland. All the best callers and interviews from this week's Australia All Over podcast.
One of the darkest days for the UBP was in May 1990, when Vic Tayback, a.k.a. Mel on CBS' “Alice”, left this earth; and perhaps others. Despite taking place literal decades before the UBP began, Mr. Tayback's death caused a deep level of pain that has us forever kissing our own grits. Flash forward to June, 2025. Another entertainment hero is gone - one arguably bigger than Mr. Tayback - who helped define American music in the 1960's, and inspired Paul McCartney and The Beatles to reach arguably their greatest artistic heights.* (*Does not include “Now And Then”.) Indeed, the incredibly sad passing of Brian Wilson was felt deeply by the Gab Two; longtime Beach Boys fans who, in this episode, pay tribute to one of Macca's undying inspirations. Along the way, they also ask:

Some of Macca's most interesting phone calls from this week's program.
Paul McCartney married Heather Mills in an extravagant ceremony at Castle Leslie in County Monaghan, Ireland, on 11th June, 2002. 300 VIP guests were in attendance, including Elton John, Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr, but only one official photo was ever released - so local teens with disposable cameras became unlikely paparazzi for hire. The couple's doomed love story began in 1999 at the Pride of Britain Awards, but when the tabloid press got hold of their relationship, eyebrows were raised over their age gap, Mills' rocky employment history, and her supposed friction with Paul's daughter, designer Stella McCartney. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look back at the misogynistic coverage of Mills in the popular press; revisit the turbulent fallout of this high-profile celebrity marriage; and pore over the ashes of Mills's prior romances… Further Reading: • ‘McCartney ties knot at rock 'n' roll wedding' (CNN, 2002): https://edition.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/11/mccartney.wedday/index.html • ‘First view from inside Paul McCartney and Heather Mills' wedding' (Mail Online, 2015): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3035182/Help-Gloom-Macca-s-girls-doomed-wedding-view-inside-Paul-Heather-s-wedding-did-grim-faced-Stella-Mary-know-coming.html • ‘Mills rants after getting £24.3m from Macca' (On Demand Entertainment, 2008): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9R7gV9evNE Love the show?

More great interviews from Australia All Over with Macca.
Welcome Back 2Legs Fam! It's been nearly 20 years since Paul's latter day 21st Century Masterpiece Chaos and Creation In The Backyard. Where did that time go? To accompany and promote the record Paul held an intimate gathering of fans and friends at Abbey Road, recorded in Studio 2 to demonstrate some of the creative processes that he and The Beatles used to employ there and have a bit of fun along the way. Filmed on 28 July 2005 and originally broadcast on BBC2 17 December 2005 and PBS in the USA 27th February 2006 and directed by Simon Hilton "Chaos And Creation At Abbey Road" provides such an intimate glimpse of Macca at work playing familiar tunes in a whole new arrangement ('Band On The Run', 'Lady Madonna', 'I've Got A Feeling') among several from the forthcoming album which dropped in September of that year. Did you watch this upon initial release? or when it was bundled in the CD set? Let us know in the comments below! We love deep dives back into stuff like this! We hope you do too! Peace Andy and Tom
More great interviews from right across Australia (and one from China), with Macca.
Yes everyone, it is finally time for us to tackle another of "the big ones"... In this part #1 we will be exploring, in detail, everything that happened to our Paul between the releases of Driving Rain (2001) and Chaos in Creation in the Backyard (2005). From this tumultuous period, yet pivotal period, we will cover... The death of George Harrison. Paul's Marriage to Heather Mills. The Heather Mills Media Circus. McCartney at the Superbowl (twice)! Both the Driving World Tour & the 04' Summer Tour. The Art of McCartney Exhibition. The Firing of Geoff Baker. Let It Be: Naked. The birth of the "Modern Era" of Paul McCartney. And much, much more... Please enjoy.

Dust off your funny bone (actual NBC ad copy circa 1987), it's the long-awaited conclusion to T.J., Tony and Producer Casey's forensic deep dish into Paul McCartney's 1993 appearance on Saturday Night Live! Yes, the boys are combing through every Macca performance, each Clinton-era comedy sketch, and almost every opinion... Unfortunately, Producer Casey did not inform the affiliates that we would be running over, so regularly scheduled programming resumed as planned. Of course, any well-executed satire (like the Gap Girls sketch!) will elicit thought-provoking questions. Such as:
