BONUS: Interview with Paul McCartney’s Russian Tutor, Aliona Muchinskaya
In this special bonus episode, we return to Russia with Paul along with the incredible Aliona Muchinskaya.

She tells Allison about her first meeting with Paul, his prep for the 2003 Red Square concert, and his meetings with Putin and Gorbachev. A fascinating perspective on a singular event in Paul's career!
