Happy New Year All!
We start 2025 with a lively discussion with none other than our friend Dr. Kenneth Womack, (Author and Professor of English/Music at Monmouth University). Ken, typically is writing/lecturing strictly on The Beatles but he is also a huge Wings fan.
In this episode, we trace Ken's fandom with Paul/Wings and also simultaneously learning The Beatles catalog at the same time in the late 1970s which sounds pretty Fab!
We navigate our discussion throughout the main Wings canon of albums, hear some stories about current students views on The Beatles, how younger people prefer physical media over digital (Win!) and more.
Lastly, Ken gives us an update on the Mal Evans Diaries project expected this year and another big surprise! See you at the Fest in March Ken!
Peace!

Episode 268: "2024 Year In Review"
Well we made it! Another year down! 2024 certainly had it's share of major Macca/Beatles/Solo releases. For our final episode of the year, Andy and Tom recap the year that was for Macca. Releases (Underdubbed/OHC/SHM's) Books/Tours/Notable Tributes and we pick our favourite moments of the year. (Kinda easy choice for Andy this year! LOL). We also look at what could be 'Coming Up' for 2025 for Paul! What was your Top Macca Related Release for 2024? Wish list for 2025? Let us know in the comments!
Thank you for our BEST year yet ever for 2Legs!
Your support of our show really took us to meeting new friends, traveling to new locations all in love of our guy - James Paul McCartney Rock On 2025!
Wishing you all a peaceful and prosperous New Year! :)

Episode 265: "Now And Then - One Year On" (With Mitch Axelrod)
Now And Then - One Year On. Hard to believe that fact but it's here.
Joining Andy and Tom (as he did a year ago upon release) again is Mitch Axelrod for Episode 265. Mitch is the author of Beatletoons, Co-Host of the "Fab 4 Free 4 All" Podcast and excellent FB group.
Mitch also helped produce a video on the popular channel Parlogram about the Beatles US cartoons. As Mitch wrote the book - it was an excellent choice. Congrats! Link is below.
We tackled A LOT in this episode. How does Mitch feel the song sounds a year later? Does it have staying power? It's inclusion now in Paul's live shows. It's legacy, how it will stand next to 'Free As A Bird', 'Real Love', all of it.
We discuss recent Beatles News, Beatles Marketing Strategies & Product, (Gnomes & Cubes Oh My!) and towards the end Mitch gives us HIS top 10 Worst Solo Paul songs. (A show we did a few weeks back but Mitch was unable to join).
We had a very fun and enjoyable chat (as we always do with Mitch!)
How do you feel about N&T one year later?
The same? Stronger? Weaker? Let us know in the comments!
