The interview with Sean and Paul is heartwarming. They discuss Sean's grandmother Julia, Paul's favorite John song, and Paul's influence on John and John's influence on Paul. Sean truly knows the Beatles music and Paul's role in his father's songwriting during and after the Beatles. A wonderful listen in these difficult times.

I listened earlier today and loved it as well!
️ I knew Paul was going to say (SPOILER ALERT!) Beautiful Boy and could tell Sean was quite touched by that. -

The choice of 'Beautiful Boy' was pretty obvious as it was one of Paul's choices when he appeared on the 'Desert Island Discs' radio show years ago, ....1982 I think without looking it up. And John hasn't written any new songs since.
