2Legs: A Paul McCartney Podcast

Five and a half years after his last solo studio album, we finally have a BRAND NEW Paul McCartney record! To mark this historic occasion—and celebrate the 300th episode of 2Legs—Andy and Tom are proud to present our in-depth review of Paul's latest release, THE BOYS OF DUNGEON LANE released on 29th May 2026. Rather than rush out a "first listen" reaction, we wanted to spend a few days living with the album, absorbing the songs, studying the lyrics, and getting to know the record before sharing our thoughts. We felt an album this significant deserved that time and attention. The verdict? We absolutely love it. For us, "THE BOYS OF DUNGEON LANE stands comfortably alongside some of Paul's finest post-Beatles work, including TUG OF WAR, FLAMING PIE and BAND ON THE RUN. It's a rich, rewarding listen that continues to reveal new layers with every spin. We know many of our loyal subscribers have been patiently waiting for our review, and we wanted to make sure we got it right. We hope you enjoy our discussion, presented with accompanying images and audio throughout. Now it's your turn: What do you think of The Boys of Dungeon Lane? Masterpiece? Instant classic? Or simply another entry in Paul's incredible catalogue? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below—we can't wait to hear them. It's 2026, and Paul McCartney has just released a brand-new album. What an extraordinary gift for fans after all these years. We hope this album brings you as much joy, excitement, and inspiration as it has brought us. P eace, Andy & Tom 2Legs: A Paul McCartney Podcast 🎸✌️

Greetings, excited Macca fans! Andy and Tom have just returned from an unforgettable trip to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, where they attended the grand opening of the brand-new WINGS exhibit, beautifully curated by Andy Leach. It was fantastic catching up with members of our amazing 2Legs Family and exploring everything this incredible exhibit has to offer. Be sure to check out Andy’s video for highlights from the weekend! Andy extended his stay and was lucky enough to attend a special presentation and intimate mini-concert featuring Laurence Juber and Steve Holley on Saturday. Despite their relatively short time in WINGS, both remain incredibly loyal and passionate supporters of Paul McCartney and his music. Andy, Heidi, and Joan even had the chance to meet them following the event! After an action-packed day, we rushed back to our hotels just in time to catch Paul’s appearance on Saturday Night Live! While we expected “Days,” we were genuinely surprised that no Beatles songs made the broadcast setlist. We absolutely loved the performance. Were there a few rough edges? Maybe. But honestly… it’s PAUL McCARTNEY. Watching a living legend still out there performing is always something special. Paul deserves to be celebrated. What about you? Are you planning a trip to the Hall this summer? What did you think of the SNL performance? Let us know in the comments below! Our Patreon Andy's HOF Reel

Hello 2Legs Fans! We are back for a brand new episode for 2026, which is a special year for the 2Legs Podcast. We are celebrating our 10th Year as a Pod this year. Original Co-Founders Tom Hunyady and David Gargalino hosted the show from 2016-2019 in an audio only format. Andy Nicholes joined in 2019 and helped launch the show into the YouTube era. For our first episode of the new year Andy and Tom do a chapter by chapter review of the new WINGS book "The Story of A Band On The Run." We highlight some favourite quotes and passages and give our our thoughts on the book as a whole. What did you think of the book and this episode? Bring on MAN ON THE RUN!

Hi All, In this final regularly scheduled show before the start of the Fall 2025 GOT BACK tour Andy and Tom discuss the recently dropped video of the Bowery Tour Diary (which featured Andy, MVP and Joan) in spots on Night 2!! We discuss more merch shipping woes, and finally we took a dive back into The Lyrics book and chose two songs to read pieces from and give our thoughts on what those songs mean to us! This is a series we may revisit! Let us know! And we'll see you on the road! Andy & Tom

Hi Gang! Freshly rested from the FEST and kicking off a new month we're back with a new episode where we revisit a documentary. This time it's 1993's "Movin' On" directed by Aubrey Powell, which chronicles the making of Paul's album Off The Ground and ensuing "Live In The New World" Tour. We found Paul to be a bit more upbeat and comedic in this one contrasted against the previous "making of" doc "Put It There." I think we can tell the success of the 1989-90 tour gave him a sense of pride and accomplishment. It's evident in his demeanor in this. Other guest stars in the doc, Richard Lester, (Director) Brian Clarke (Tour Designer), Kevin Godley (Director/10CC), Robbie Mcintosh, Hamish Stuart, Blair Cunningham. This doc is notable for the 30 seconds or so of the McCartney-Stuart collaboration "Is It Raining In London?" Andy hadn't seen this in full before viewing it here in the episode. Tom gave it a review before we recorded. What say you about this doc. Do let us know in the comments! Till next time, Andy & Tom Article Referenced regarding the Amazon Deal:

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!

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/

Hello Everyone! Joining us this week is our friend, author and journalist Luca Perasi! As he celebrates the publication of his latest work "Press To Play | That Unmistakable 80s Sound" chronicling the "hot take" "Love It or Hate It" record that divides McCartney fans nearly 40 years later! One of the more significant people Luca was able to interview for the book was esteemed 1980s Producer Hugh Padgham (Genesis/The Police/Phil Collins) among many others. We know the relationship and direction over the album took many turns and misunderstandings, especially where Eric Stewart comes into the picture. Luca brings up many hypothesis' for these missteps. The book also takes a very detailed technical approach with the album including detail on instruments used as well as the key people that worked on the album (Arrangers, Other Musicians etc). Luca also does a fine job of contextualising the 1980s Pop Culture zeitgeist through the mediums of video games and technology. Congrats again to Luca on his latest book! Let us know in the comments below if you've bought it and are reading it! https://www.lily-publishing.com/ https://www.mccartney-musicisideas.it/ https://www.amazon.com/Paul-McCartney-Press-Unmistakable-Milestones/dp/B0FC2Y11JZ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Luca-Perasi/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3ALuca%2BPerasi

This week on 2Legs (amidst the brand new touring rumours, and Babs dropping her duet on 'My Valentine' with Macca) we are pleased to revisit the Interview Series - where we dissect a rare and not often seen interview with Paul. On this episode we chose the 1977 Interview from an Australian TV program titled "Count Down." This recently surfaced on YouTube and to see the late 70s Wings trio ensconced in the privacy of #2 Studio at Abbey Road is pretty cool to witness. They appear bored at times (Denny especially) but Paul and Linda give some good sound bites here about what's to come. This was mainly used as a promotional tool for the then current single 'Mull of Kintyre.' The gentlemen interviewing Wings is Molly Meldrum. Orignally broadcasted on 24th December 1977. And we like Paul music post-1981, sorry not sorry! Peace Andy & Tom

Hi 2Legs Faithful! A long one in the making! Joining us for E279 is Author/Researcher/Journalist/Musician Keith Badman. Keith penned a trio of 3 Beatles "Bibles" in the early 00s. The first being After The Breakup 1970-2000 which was one of the first texts to compile Solo Beatles activity in a Day By Day format (Like Lewisohn). Andy quickly snapped up the book upon seeing on the shelves (RIP Borders!) circa 2001-02. His copy is well worn (as you'll see in the show). He brought it to Tom's attention shortly after joining the show. Keith did some work for The Beatles Anthology via a mutual friend Chips Chiperfield. He tells us about that and how he came to write the book. He followed up "After The Breakup" with two subsequent volumes titled "Off The Record" which collected quotes from Beatles and Associates.
