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

It's FoTR friday once again, celebrations all around! On this episode, I'm joined by the author of "Postcards From Liverpool: Beatles Moments & Memories", Mark Brickley, for an all out session of Beatle geekdom (you wouldn't expect any less from this show, wouldn't you?) Among the conversational places we upon on are the the Beatles' stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a chance interview with Jackie Lomax, the Beatles record collecting scene, the evolution between single releases by the Fabs, "the pinacle of rock music" on side two of Abbey Road, seeing Cream live in the late 60s, the uniqueness of The Byrds, the late Sam Goody and Tower Records chains, Pete Best's sharp tounge, and so, so much more!

It's FoTR Friday once again, we've got an absolute treat for you today! Volume 5 of his series of The Beatles Recording Reference Manuals came out yesterday and is available to buy now! You guessed it; I am joined by Jerry Hammack!

Join us two Canucks, as we go all over the map with our conversation, talking about the task of trying to know everything one possibly can about the equipment choices of particular Beatles sessions, childhood pictures of Jerry and his brothers on the mantle miming to Beatles records, happy family memories of The Beatles’ Second Album, the arguments over the new Giles Martin remixes, the art of the track bounce-down, some jokes at the expense of people who listen to Quadrophonic mixes, the war-crime that was the sound quality of the 1977 release of the Star Club recordings, and some seasonal talk about the Christmas flexis, among other things!

It’s FoTR Friday once again, time to celebrate! Today I’m joined by author extraordinaire, and Beatle podcast pioneer, Robert Rodriguez! We talk about his first exposure to the Red and Blue albums, the early landscape of Beatles books in the mid-seventies, the rite of passage of having an older brother tell you that Paul was actually dead, sifting through the mythology, some surprising Beatles cover statistics, the joy of going back and listening to them again, the unexpected success of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting team, and oh so much more! But you’ll have to just listen then, won’t you?

It's time for another FOTR, and non-musicians beware, this episode WILL get extremely nerdy! I'm joined by a founding member of both The Chesterfield Kings and The Empty Hearts, and the author of "Beatles Gear: All The Fab Four's Instruments From Studio To Stage", Andy Babiuk! We talk about the evolution and genesis of The Empty Hearts, how they got their name, and which Beatle drummed on their latest album! We also talk Rickenbacker guitars, Vox solid state amps, debating in guitar stores, challenging tribute bands to make new Beatles style songs, the never-ending quest for the right tone, the near-involvement of George Harrison in the Beatles Gear book, and the joys of the never-ending cycle of wanting to buy new guitars.

It's pratically Halloween today, so today we have a particularly spooky episode of Fans On The Run! Why is it spooky you may ask? Just look up pictures of those old Beatles Bubble Bath "Soakies"! In this discussion with the author of "NEMS and the Business of Selling Beatles Merchandise in the U.S. 1964-1966" Terry Crain, we cover a provebial smorgasbord of topics! Unnoficial record players, the mad rush of the morning of Febuary 10th, 1964, nostalgia for the "Paul is Dead" rumour, the fate of the original moulds of the Remco model kits, the era of Beatle historians hyperfixated on certain areas of Beatle knowledge, and an instance of yours truly misremembering an unnoficial "Beat Time" pinball machine!

It is Fans On The Run Friday (try saying that ten times fast) once again, and we have another great episode! I'm joined by "All You Need Is Love: Tribute To The Fab Four", and the man dubbed "Mr. Shampoo", Nathan Loo! We talk about arranging Beatles songs for live performances, post-Stanley Cup hockey parties, the impact of the original "Beatlemania" show, the excitement surrounding "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl" LP, the futile persuit of audiophile perfection, the "Rose Morris" Rickenbacker export models, the original movie mix of "Help!", and a new nickname for yours truly! All that, and much more, but you'll just have to listen for yourself!

It's Friday, so it must be time for another episode of Fans On The Run! I finally get to complete my "Talk More Talk" bingo sheet by talking to YouTube vinyl legend Mean Mr. Mayo! We talk about his earliest memories of The Beatles, reacting to the later "far out" sound in horror, the merits of the cover of the 1976 album "Rock And Roll Music", some of his notable vinyl scores, The Princeton Record Exchange, his encounters with Paul, Linda and Yoko, that time I insulted the Yankees while in NYC, and much, much more!

Fans On The Run is here once more, with our special guest for this week, James Ryan! This is one of the most free-form episodes yet, and it goes a lot of places this show usually doesn't. We talk about alternate history, shoegaze, Doctor Who, song publishing, animation, communism, while still keeping it anchored to those four guys from Liverpool. Tune in, turn on, drop out, man!
