Episode 189: "Is Paul McCartney Dead?"
Description
In this episode, we dive into one of the most enduring and bizarre conspiracy theories in music history: the claim that Paul McCartney of The Beatles secretly died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike. From “clues” hidden in album covers and backward messages in songs, to the cultural paranoia of the late 1960s, we unpack how this rumor took hold and why it refuses to fade. Was it an elaborate hoax, a fan-fueled urban legend, or something more? Join us as we explore the origins of the “Paul is Dead” theory, examine its most famous pieces of supposed evidence, and consider what it reveals about fame, mythmaking, and the power of pop culture.
