Show Notes
SUMMARYWelcome to STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, an AKOM series about Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney after John Lennon's death. Episode Three covers the 1990s, a decade that sees some of the most significant highs and lows between Ono and McCartney. Goodwill abounds when Paul inducts John into the Rock Hall in 1994. Building on this positivity, Yoko earns Paul’s gratitude during the making of the Beatles Anthology. But the peace is short-lived, and a set of seemingly minor squabbles escalate into their most vicious public arguments to date, setting the stage for a cold war as Yoko and Paul enter the new millenium.
