What REALLY Happened to Paul McCartney!?!?

Did Paul McCartney ACTUALLY die in 1966 in car crash? Was this the real reason The Beatles grew facial hair?! Maybe it's the reason they stopped touring?!? Drinks w/ Ron takes us through the life, times, and music of arguably the biggest band of all time, and perhaps one of the biggest cover ups ever...

With clues scattered throughout movies, music, interviews, interludes, and more, it could only take a true detective to sleuth the truth out of this one.

About the Podcast

The Nostalgia Pit
FKA: Ruining Your Childhood - The Pitfalls of Nostalgia
The Nostalgia Pit is a podcast aiming to dissect pop culture, the subconscious, and other psychological phenomena through a hyperbolic and prismatic lens. Hosted by Rob Snow and Colin Casserd, the Nostalgia Pit is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Nostalgia is so often thought of as something great from our childhood... But this psychological pitfall can sometimes have massive effects on our decision making. Our goal here is to discuss these areas where morals and ethics blur and the warm feelings of childhood take over. Oh, and to talk some shit...

Produced by Colin Casserd
