Yes, Paul has tried his hand at selecting and sequencing the mythical 'Black Album' or 13th Beatles LP from tracks recorded by Beatles solo or in other groups in the 5 years following their split.
As there are 14 songs to go at, I've not included the snippets in the episode itself due to length, but you can hear Paul's playlist in it's entirety here:

I did say in the episode I would list them out here too, but I think that might spoil it for fans of surprises, so even if you don't like Spotify, you can use the above link to get the list and then go listen somewhere else!
Also, there is the usual 'On this Beatle day' and I round off the episode with a look at the album chart and a few other interesting charts from the main episode scores so far.
