From Beatles break-up to John’s murder, a look at Paul’s transformation

The podcast features an interview with Morgan Neville, a documentary filmmaker, discussing his new film "Man on the Run," which explores Paul McCartney's life after the Beatles' breakup and the formation of Wings. Neville details his access to unseen archival footage, including home movies by Linda McCartney, and his decision to use only audio interviews to create a more immersive experience. The discussion covers McCartney's grief and identity struggles post-Beatles, the public's perception of him as the band's breaker-upper, and his move to a Scottish farm with Linda. Neville also touches on McCartney's complex relationship with John Lennon, the formation and challenges of Wings, and McCartney's initial reluctance to perform Beatles songs. The podcast concludes with Neville previewing his upcoming documentary about Lorne Michaels.
