Fans On The Run: A Podcast Made By, For And About Beatles Fans

It's Friday, and it's once again time for another episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is music writer/critic/historian, co-host of "Unveiling the Legends: Dolls of the 60s and 70s", and host of the "Vinyl Monday" series, my friend Abigail Devoe! In our free flowing conversation, we talk about The Sonics, Pattie Boyd's timeless style, how to store a record collection (and how not to!), The Fool, our beloved Mal Evans, our slightly-less beloved Magic Alex, Paul McCartney: tugboat captain, the recent documentary on The Zombies, Nico and her harmonium, the term "influencer", reclaiming "our" records from the record store, the value of a good Afghan coat, "Long, Long, Long" and its place on the White Album, the most valuable website for music nerds like us, and Karl Ferris' clarification of what Donovan is wearing on the cover of the "A Gift From A Flower To A Garden" album!. With a bit of a large gap in time between starting and finishing this episode, today's new/old show has a slightly different structure, but the same splendid time is guaranteed for all! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

And we’re back! Back from the dead, it’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is a guest, who as a part of a YouTube collective called TheBeatleScruffs influenced yours truly as a young fan. Making her first Beatle-y content appearance in many years, please welcome Elise H! In this episode we touch on a little bit of everything from our McCartney concert experiences, an endorsement of Barnes & Noble, the old days of YouTube “collab channels”, the joys of no longer having to pretend a recent release is good, Disneyland, Temporary Secretary, Charli XCX, crying watching The Concert For George, Beatles streaming statistics, and so, so much more! But you’ll just have to tune in to hear it all, won’t you? This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

Welcome back to one of the Beatle podcasts of all time, Fans On The Run! Would it really be FoTR without an unexplained months-long episode delay? (School, that's the explanation) Joining me today is somebody who influenced me as a young(er) fan back when she was a part of the YouTube fan-collab-channel "The Beatle Submarine". She has come out of "retirement" to appear on this very show and talk with yours truly, give a big FoTR welcome to Karen Castro! We talk about nearly everything, including the path that led to this very episode, "gameifying" the official Beatles website, a new honourable term for somebody who pirates music, falling in love with The Beatles' music on a broken set of speakers, the trials and tribulations of being a teenage content creator, the popularity of rock 'n' roll in Latin & South America, the horns on 'Savoy Truffle', yet another rant about the booklet from the 'Magical Mystery Tour' LP, the 2023 'Red' and 'Blue' remixes, general Gen-Z shenanigans, and a new fourth-wall-shattering record for most asides to you, the listener!

It's time for a new episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is a true one-of-a-kind musical talent, sometimes he's under the alias of "Chissum Worthington", but today's he's just Mike Schnee! In a wide ranging chat, we talk The Lemon Twigs, One Hand Clapping, Mike's system of identifying Beatle albums before he could read, The White Album at Christmas '68, the genesis of Chissum Worthington, the similarities to some Beatle album-track-bookends, "The Beatles: An Illustrated Record", seeing the Magical Mystery Tour film at a "revival theatre", the strange reality of The Beatles playing Baby's In Black live, and a new jingle for the show! With all that AND more? You won't wanna miss it! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

It is in fact, time for the new episode of Fans On The Run! The show made by, for, and about Beatles fans - and today we lean into fandom as our guest today quite literally "wrote the book" on Beatles fandom. He's the author of "The Beatles and Fandom: Sex, Death and Progressive Nostalgia", Dr. Richard Mills! Besides sex, death and progressive nostalgia, we talk about "The Grey Album" by Danger Mouse, applying Freudian psychological concepts to The Beatles Monthly, the hopes and fears around A.I., The Beatles in the internet age, a fourth-wall break in the "Free As A Bird" music video, capitalism, electricity, pondering what John Lennon would think of modern Beatles books, and much, much more! All that and more? You won't wanna miss it! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

It’s time to spin a new episode of Fans On The Run! My guest for today is social-media content-creator, and fellow record-collector, Vinyl Benjy! We talk about export pressings, the “olden days” of buying CDs at Best Buy, the best deals we’ve found record shopping, the effect of certain YouTubers on record prices, whether to recommend Let It Be or Get Back to new Beatles fans, Freda Kelly, The Monkees, vinyl cuttings, why we collect so many copies of the same album, and the least effective game of show-and-tell ever recorded! All of that, AND more! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

It's once again time (about time!) for another episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is my friend, and the host of "Mixology: The Mono/Stereo Differences Podcast", Frederick French-Pounce! In what turned out to be the longest gap between recording a show, and posting it, this episode covers everything from the pros/cons of records made in the US/UK, Cilla Black's 1969 single "Surround Yourself With Sorrow", the YouTube videos on The Beatles that captured our imaginations, a Kinks album with no lead vocals, the vinyl resurgence, the rumours about a "potential reissue of the '1962-1966' and '1967-1970' albums" and much, much more! In fact, so much more, that from time to time, the spooky voices of future-Ethan and future-Fred reflect on stuff that happened between when we recorded the show, and now!

It’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run, and much like last episode, this was recorded on location!
