“Paul Muldoon is simply brilliant. The conversations generated from his prompts is a gift to us all. I could listen to Paul and Paul analyze and theorize and parse through these songs for another 100 hours.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I hope there’s another season but the final episode does not give me much hope.
It’s too late now but I would have loved to hear the entire song being discussed in full at the end of the episode. I found myself craving the opportunity to hear the full song...”Read full review »

“Take the Band on the Run episode. Playing the same snippet of the song over and over and over and over adds nothing. Overproduced.”

“I thought this would be a conversation with Paul about his lyrics. Instead, it’s a clip of Paul and then some weirdo explaining what he said.
I wish they would just release the whole conversations of these sessions.”

“I’m very glad this came back for a second season. I find the shortness of the episodes nice. McCartney tells only as much as he feels he needs to and doesn’t waffle on. I also appreciate McCartney’s willingness to politely push back when Muldoon tries to offer an interpretation that isn’t right....”Read full review »

“As someone who’s not actually interested in lyrics - I just love wordless music - I didn’t think this would hold my interest. But it did because of the conversational style, the tangents, the history of the time and yes, some analysis of the music.”

“it’s bad enough that these podcasts add nothing new to any of the well-worn stories. they seem to have become about 50/50 podcast/ads. and the same f’ng ads, over and over.

“This tells us nothing new that has not been said many times before. It purports to be a “masterclass” yet, apart from a superficial discussion on a very small portion of the lyrics there is nothing about the harmonic structure or arrangement of the song. Also, McCartney appears to dismiss Jane...”Read full review »

I planned on listening to them eventually but find I’m going to listen to every episode 2-3...”Read full review »

Instead of playing snippets again and again, it would make sense to stop the song and have Paul McCartney comment on that segment. What could have been a...”Read full review »

“Delightful conversations about iconic songs. Agree with the many listeners who are put off by Paul’s eating. Maybe the series needs a name change: Lyrics Over Lunch. Given all that noshing, will Paul be live from the loo in Season 2?”

“Point taken… you want people to buy a subscription. But wow!! That’s a lot of commercials. For such a short 20-25min episodes. The content… minus repeats and the countless ads is about 10 minutes. Which is so sad because this is so incredibly interesting. Great idea! Horribly implemented.”

“Great content, but you will be punished with relentless ads if you do not subscribe. I love Malcolm Gladwell’s voice as much as the next pair of ears, but it is a lot. One might consider that with the bulk of these advertisements, some listeners may double down on not subscribing in spite.”
