Paul McCartney to Share New Podcast 'A Life in Lyrics'
Paul McCartney is set to divulge the stories behind some of his most beloved songs in a new podcast titled, McCartney: A Life in Lyrics. The series is set to air on September 20 and features 12 episodes.
The podcast will cover the breadths of McCartney’s longevity in the music industry – from his time with the Beatles, Wings, and his solo career. The episodes will see McCartney digging deep into one song with the help of poet Paul Muldoon.
“I’m a poet – a lover of the lyric poem – and over the past several years I’ve been fortunate to spend time with one of the greatest songwriters of our era, Sir Paul McCartney,” Muldoon said in the teaser trailer for the project.
McCartney and Muldoon previously worked on the book The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, which also covered McCartney’s songwriting efforts.
“When we listened back to the tapes [of creating that book], we realized something very special was happening here,” Muldoon continued. “It became very clear how much of McCartney’s biography is indeed embedded in the lyrics.”
