In the 1960s, millions of people around the world were absolutely in love with the Beatles—and especially Paul, who was often called the “cute Beatle." So what was it about Linda Eastman that captured Paul McCartney’s heart? And how did Paul and Linda meet? For our 50th episode, Kel compiles a 30-year timeline that follows Paul and Linda’s love story—one full of music, family, animals, and of course, some band drama. 

P.S. Since it’s been one whole year of Significant Lovers, at the end of the episode we share our rejected name ideas!
