Join Phoebe and Sam Whiles, host of Paul or Nothing podcast, as they discuss the cinematic portrayals of the McCartney and Lennon marriages. What mythology do they create for themselves? What does the public (fans, authors and outside media) project onto them? How have their images changed over time?
Movies discussed in this episode: The Linda McCartney Story (2000) and John and Yoko: a Love Story (1985).

Fine Tuning: Ep 11 Wrap Party

SUMMARY
Unseen Paul builds on our earlier episodes by sharing even more quotes, stories, and insights about young Paul McCartney, who deserves a nuanced and dynamic portrait in any Beatles biography. 
We explore some of his more overlooked character traits: his quirks and gifts; his stressors and anxieties; his unusual interests and values. These features reveal him as a fascinatingly dualistic artist and person.SOURCESPaul McCartney: the Definitive Biography by Chris Salewicz (1986)The Beatles by Bob Spitz (2005)“Portrait of Paul” Women Magazine by Mike McCartney (1965)Magical Mystery Tours: My Time with the Beatles by Tony Bramwell (2006)Many Years From Now by Barry Miles (1997)Thank U Very Much by Mike McCartneyPaul McCartney on Howard Stern (2021)“A Political Paul” Interview w/ Jonathan Powers for Prospect Magazine (Jan 17, 2009)Paul McCartney interview w/ Hot Press magazine (2002)Maureen Cleave “Intelligent Beatle”“Mockers” Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9e6zHA6eOY&t=116sThe Beatles Authorized Biography by Hunter Davies (1968)The Beatles diary: Volume 1 by Barry Miles (2001)BBC Interview “dyslexia”  (October 4, 1997)https://www.effinghamradio.com/2023/06/15/happy-birthday-paul-mccartney-2Angie McCartney Interview w/ Geoffrey Guiliano (1984)https://www.tumblr.com/pleasantlyinsincere/697307027602571264/angie-and-ruth-mccartney-on-saying-i-love-you-in?source=shareMike McCartney; Beatles Book Monthly Magazine (1992)Paul McCartney for New York Times Magazine (2020)THE LYRICS by Paul McCartney and Paul Muldoon (2021)Icke, Evelyn Hamann und die Beatles: Eine Art Biografie by Hans “Icke” Braun (2019)*ENGLISH TRANSLATION of Braun's book and further anecdotes generously provided to AKOM by @packyourromanticmind on tumblrA Cellar Full of Noise by Brian Epstein (1964)Allan Williams quote from Music Legends The Beatles Special Edition by The Rock Review Music Legends Library (Sept 2, 2019)https://issuu.com/codarecordsltd/docs/music_legends_beatles_special_editionInterview w/ Horst Fascher for Deutschlandfunk Kultur (2006)Astrid Kirchherr Interviewed by Colin Hall for Get Rhythm (August 2001)PLAYLISTStairway to Paradise SARAH VAUGHAN4 Pointers 1 TREVOR DUNCANFine and Mellow ETTA JONESWelcome to My World JIM REEVESEl Paso MARTY ROBBINSYou Go To My Head BILLIE HOLIDAYNature Boy NAT KING COLEBlack and White EARL ROBINSONMy Bucket’s Got a Hole in it HANK WILLIAMSSpoonful HOWLIN WOLFSince I Don’t Have You THE SKYLINERSPerhaps DORIS DAYLonesome Town RICKY NELSONLove to Love NINA SIMONE
