Today we go behind the scenes and pull back the curtain on the making of the show, as guest host Seja Vogel interviews host Jeremy Dylan and producer Georgia Mooney about how the sausage/podcast is made. From the inception of the show, how the guests are chosen, the research process, the use of music, favorite episodes, dream guests, how to deal with awkward interviews and more, we try to answer all the questions you might have about how we put this thing together.
As Australia heads back into lockdown, friends of the show Seja Vogel and Davey Lane join me and our respective bottles of whiskey for a truly epic deep dive into Paul McCartney's ‘rockdown' LP McCartney III. Starting with an overview of Sir Paul's 21st century output so far, we dig into the record track by track and discuss, dissect, argue, sing and do some truly diabolical impressions along the way as we work our way through the latest work by the greatest pop artist of all time. This is a vast and by the end, totally unhinged, conversation between three confirmed Beatles tragics about not just this album, but what Paul McCartney's legacy means and what it's like to operate as an artist with literally no peers long after your heyday. Topics discussed include: - Pandemic pop songs - The differences in approach from McCartney to McCartney II and McCartney III - McCartney's drumming style and how ‘non-drummers' play drums - McCartney's lyric writing process and if that has changed since the 60s - Jeff Lynne's influence on the drum sounds - How McCartney's parental instincts inform his songwriting - How letting himself sound ‘old' on songs like Pretty Boys enhances their meaning - How the Josh Homme and Dominic Fike ‘reimagined' versions of songs from this record top the originals - Davey and Seja's recent experiences recording albums by themselves during lockdown - The challenge of collaborating when you have no peers - The best and worst of the McCartney Three-imagined album - How McCartney deals emotionally with the pandemic without ever mentioning it explicitly - Constructing the ultimate McCartney-centric supergroup - Who is the male Helen Mirren? - Should McCartney be singing about sex at 78? - Our picks for McCartney's best lyrics.

Normally on this show we venerate musicians, today we’re mocking them as we present a little compilation of music jokes guests have told me this year, never before heard until now. Listen to gags from Georgia Mooney, Fred Armisen, Stella Mozgawa, Edith Bowman, Seja Vogel, Dan Wilson and even your host.
Beatles nerds rejoice again, as synth queen Seja Vogel joins me to delve into the album that brought Paul McCartney back to the toppermost of the poppermost in 1973, 'Band on the Run'. We talk about Paul’s uneven solo trajectory after the Beatles breakup, the volatile story of how the album was made in Lagos (band members quitting, stolen demo tapes, Fela Kuti, etc), Paul’s drumming, the use of synths on the record, covering Let Me Roll It, how McCartney has become the ambassador to Beatledom, our experiences seeing Paul live, our love for Nineteen Hundred and Eight-Five and Mrs Vanderbilt and the song we think should’ve been left off the album.
