It's time for another episode of Fans On The Run!

Joining me today is legendary audiophile writer/journalist, proprietor of Tracking Angle, and all around fascinating fellow Michael Fremer!

We talk about hearing 'She Loves You' for the first time, an unreleased Beatles reissue, the poor sound of the original Capitol 'Magical Mystery Tour' LP, Abbey Road Studios, imports, screening 'A Hard Day's Night' at a summer camp before it's official release, being an early stereo adopter, picking up imported copies of a new Beatles album at the Boston harbor, and of course, records, records, and more records!

All that and more, you're going to want to listen!

Roll up! roll up! for a new episode of Fans On The Run - the podcast made by, for, and about Beatles fans! Joining me today is a supremely talented musician who co-hosts the "Gear, There And Everywhere" pod, and is the man behind the "Beatles Reconstructed" YouTube channel: my friend, Michael Sokil!

In this wide-ranging chat, we talk about audio separation software, the "I Want To Hold Your Hand" rhythm guitar part, another "Ethan VS Now And Then" tangent, a musician's desire to replicate/reconstruct Beatles tracks, favourite pieces of Beatles musical gear, the subtle paranoia and derealization of the "Revolver" album, Michael's theory on John's songwriting-inspiration, and so much more!

You'll want to tune in, a splendid time is guaranteed for all!

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!

Miss us? It's time for a return to the podcast made by, for, and about Beatles fans - Fans On The Run! Joining me for this first episode back, is my dear friend Paul Perigo!

In a very far-reaching conversation, we talk about a few notable censored Beatle records, the tangibility of music, preparing Paul McCartney TV specials for Australian broadcast, forgotten British psych-pop, taping The Beatles cartoons, gaps in documentation of parts of Beatle history, the bond between John & George, George Martin's original score for Yellow Submarine, the 1968 film "Here We Go Round The Mullbery Bush", the spookiness of Long, Long, Long, and Paul's full personal ranking of The Beatles albums. All that and more, so you won't want to miss it!

(Please note, this episode was recorded over six months ago, so no Anthology!)

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?

It's time for another episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is another fellow young-er Beatle fan, musician/influencer Mary Devlin! (aka @beatledirt)

We cover a lot, including making friends on The Beatles' Facebook page back in the day, posing out front of the Apple store with the Beatle standees when they went to iTunes, Ethan's "Now And Then" Abbey Road Studios story, the evolution of online Beatles fandom, Pattie Boyd's everlasting style, another round of praising "Revolver", the existential dread of being "cringe", drawing a gap in your teeth on with makeup, and so much more!

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". 

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!

Dear Beatle People, it's time for a very fab, gear, and overall special episode of Fans On The Run: The Podcast Made By, For, And About Beatles Fans!

Today's episode has been a long time coming, but as they say, "good things come to those who wait". Our guest today was a member of The Beatles inner circle, in various roles for ten whole years, from 1962 to 1972. From the Cavern Club and the early days with Brian Epstein, to the Magical Mystery Tour of the days of Apple Corps. Please give a big Fans On The Run welcome to Freda Kelly!

This is a very special episode, so you won't want to miss it!

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!

It's time for new, vibrant, colourful (well, as colourful as an audio-only-podcast can be) episode of Fans On The Run!

We talk "Sprockets", the first and only album from The Fool, Keith Haring, a private Paul McCartney concert at the Saturday Night Live studios, Mary Quant, Mary Quant knockoffs in the windows of New York department stores, the let-down of the real Carnaby Street, Richard Hamilton's designs for the White Album, the "computer room" of the NBC Art Department, Ben Weisman (Marlene's songwriter cousin), and the pop-art genius of Peter Blake.
