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!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

To borrow a TV term welcome to a "spin-off"! This is a monthly installment where two music geeks (Andy & Ethan) discuss their favourite albums by artists other than the Beatles. (What a refreshing idea!)  As we are both hardcore Who fans (Ethan = 60s Who, Andy = 70s Who) we decided our first show should center in on the Who's 3rd studio LP "The Who Sell Out". Tying in with the recently released Super Deluxe Box Set celebrating the album we felt this was a good starting point.   We also discuss the post "Sell Out" but pre-Tommy period of 1968 and what an odd ball period it was for the group.   We may actually like the jingles better than the songs! Impersonations, accents, bad singing it's all here.

Pepper, yours truly warbling out the lyrics to ‘If I Had A $1,000,000’ by The Barenaked Ladies, record stores with bad Beatles sections, sentimental attachments to certain Paul McCartney albums, the now-out-of-print LP of ‘Live In Japan’, a distracted host texting his friend about the aforementioned ‘Live In Japan’ LP, how modern Beatle fans about “that one John Lennon song with the n-word in the title”, and puns, puns, puns and puns. Oh, so many puns.

Much, much more!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Lizzie’s links: https://www.lizziebravo.com/ https://twitter.com/lizziebravo https://www.instagram.com/lizzie_bravo/ https://www.facebook.com/Lizzie-Bravo-325282004328347   Find us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

I recently had the opportunity to sit down again with my friend “Whispering Bob” Harris for another wonderful chat! We talked about the sixties British pirate radio stations, the last radio performance of Syd Barrett, the origins of the Time Out magazine, the vinyl release of Stand By Me 2020, a trivia game about Bob’s favourite record label, and much more!

It’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run, and sadly it’s gonna be the last for about a month! I’ll be taking a much needed break, and not use my vocal chords the entire duration of it (or something like that). That being said, today’s (should have been yesterday, but oh well) episode is a great one. Joining me is the host of New England’s Breakfast With The Beatles, Cha-Chi Loprete! We talk about gifted butcher covers, mailing records to George Harrison to be signed, the expensive (for 1970) “All Things Must Pass” box, dinner at John Eastman’s house with Paul, how he got started in radio, the DJs he remembers that inspired him, and so much more! Much like James Bond, FoTR will return.   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Cha-Chi’s links: https://twitter.com/ChachiBeatles https://www.facebook.com/BreakfastWithTheBeatlesChaChi/ https://breakfastwiththebeatleschachi.com/   Follow the show elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

Oh, hey there, it’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is singer/songwriter/fellow Canadian, Max Comeau!

It’s time for another groovy episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is the co-host of BC The Beatles, the fabulous Allison Boron! We’re all over the place here talking about the 1993 fatboy jewel-case versions of the Red and Blue albums, old Angelfire domain names, getting into The Beatles through The Monkees, the early Beatles internet fan community, the everlasting appeal of the story of Brian Epstein, price-gouged Woodstock box sets, sexism in the Beatle-world, the late great Limewire, and much, much more! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard! Allison’s links:https://bcthebeatles.podbean.comhttps://twitter.com/bcthebeatleshttps://twitter.com/ajoboaugogohttps://www.instagram.com/ajoboaugogo Follow the show elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun Contact:fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

Woohoo, it’s Friday! Time for a new episode of everybody’s favourite (citation needed) Beatles podcast, Fans On The Run!  Joining me today for what is now the longest single part episode of the show, is a member of the tribute band BeatleBeat, and veteran of the Floridian Beatles tribute scene, Charlie De Cosa! We talk about a lot of things in this episode, like we really cover a lot of ground. We talk about not getting used to hearing Sgt. Pepper with pops or crackles, reflecting on purging a vinyl collection back in the era of CDs, a brief lesson on the history of NRBQ, the scattered re-runs of The Beatles cartoon in the Eighties, ‘Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park’, learning to love your Höfner, separating the art from the artist, guilty pleasure bands, cheating in Nickelodeon phone-in competitions, the mystical world of Parrothead-ism, the stereotype of the “florida man”, the chaotic nature of The Who’s early music videos, and for the first time in the show’s history, a joke so offensive I had to bleep it out.   This episode is available to stream everywhere good podcasts can be heard! Keep up with Charlie and BeatleBeat!https://soundcloud.com/charlie-de-cosahttps://www.facebook.com/beatlebeattribute/ Follow the show elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun  Contact:fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

Friday is here once again, and so is Fans On The Run. Joining me today is the author of the long-awaited forthcoming book “Little Wing: The Jimmy McCulloch Story”, Paul Salley, and much like Jimmy himself, this episode is short but sweet! (by FoTR standards) We talk about some notorious Jimmy myths including “that photo from that one book”, the paradox of owning a Beatle calendar before listening to their music, the Wingspan documentary, the moniker of “that Beatles kid” at school being passed down through the generations, how Jimmy joined, then subsequently left The Small Faces in less than a year, the magic of the band One In A Million, and of course some talk about that one band (hint: Denny Laine was in it for a while) and much more! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard! Keep up with Paul and the book!https://www.facebook.com/groups/littlewingjm Follow the show elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun Contact:fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

It’s time for another episode of the show that doesn’t stop, Fans On The Run! Joining me today is a veteran of YouTube’s “vinyl community”, Marvin Gee, also known as Beatlevinyl85! We have an absolute vinyl-geek-fest today talking about everything from the social dynamic of the local record store, seeing the Free As A Bird video for the first time, the allure of imports, the absolute anomaly that is “The Beatles In Italy”, holy grails, the perks of being a second generation collector, “The Beatles Vs. The Four Seasons”, Canadian records with alternate mixes, the true stereo version of "Yesterday and Today", and much, much more! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard! Marv’s links:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-Cwnaiz0jexbUZC9Rki5w https://www.instagram.com/beatlevinyl/ https://www.facebook.com/myvinyl2  Follow the show elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun  Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

It’s time for another “fab” episode of Fans On The Run! It is Friday, after all. I’m joined by my co-host over on “When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About The Beatles”, Ed Chen! (Although, this episode was recorded before I was officially announced as a co-host) In this episode we talk about the supply and demand of Rutles 8 Track Tapes, the Bee Gees’ Sgt. Pepper “selling gold, and returning platinum”, attractive hype stickers, the origins of the term “Dutch Import” in terms of bootlegs, nefarious laughing, the post Beatlefest ratings boost for the Beatle podcats, the laziness of the 1988 Imagine movie, “My Ding-A-Ling”, a plugging misfire, and three different technical failures that were fixed in the edit! All that and more, you absolutely need to listen! This episode (as well as When they Was Fab) can be streamed anywhere good podcasts can be heard!) https://whentheywasfab.podbean.com/ Follow us elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun

It’s the first proper episode of Fans On The Run of 2021, and this time I have the right year in the episode graphic! Joining me today to chat co-wrote the legendary books “LENNONOLOGY – Strange Days Indeed” and “Eight Arms To Hold You: The Solo Beatles Compendium”, Chip Madinger! We talk about the last few Beatles deluxe editions, “The Beatles At The Beeb” series, Chip’s involvement with The Capitol Albums boxes in the mid 2000s, the utter confusion that is the many versions of Band On The Run on CD, the pre-internet research process for the original version of Eight Arms, some highlights of his vast collection, documenting the life of John down to the day,  and the mystical world of bootlegs, among many other things! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard! Chip’s books with Mark Easter and Scott Raile can be found at https://www.lennonology.com/ Follow us elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun

As the clock strikes twelve, a new year dawns. As the new year approaches, so does this very special celebratory 50th episode special of Fans On The Run! Friend of the show (and "queen of all Beatles media" Kit O'Toole joins us once again, but to flip the script of the show and ask me about my Beatles story! We talk about being mesmerized by the track number changing on my CD player during my first listen of the "Blue Album", indoctrinating several friends to this band on the playground, driving across town in a desperate search of the DVD for “A Hard Day’s Night”, my Michael Jackson phase of music, the genesis of this show, seeing purple Kool Aid when I first walked into the Fest For Beatles Fans and fearing the worst, long-term plans for the show, bailing out Ken Womack in a trivia contest, some special messages, and a big announcement from yours truly, along with much, much more!  Special thanks to Jim and Susan Ryan, The Fab Four, Mean Mr. Mayo, Ken Michaels, Tom Hunyady, Andy Nicholes, Ed Chen, Lonnie Pena, Jude Southerland Kessler, Lanea Stagg, Plastic E.P., Nathan Loo, Sam Whiles, Richard Philip, and (of course) Kit O'Toole for contributing to this very special episode!

“Every time a bell rings, a podcast meets some Wings” It’s a Christmas miracle, the special finale to the Christmas-lead-up-two-a-week-episode-schedule of Fans On The Run! You may be sad that we’ll be going back down to once a week, but today we have a guest who will not disappoint. It’s Laurence Juber! We talk about his start as a session musician in the 70s, his guitar influences, a crash course in pre-decimal British money, December 1963 (no, not the Four Seasons song), how he became a Wing-man, what started his Beatles fingerstyle guitar album series, the terminology describing Lute players, the guitar he bought before that fateful trip to Japan in 1980, Christmas Music, and much, much more! This episode is available to stream anywhere good podcasts can be heard! Keep up with Laurence:https://laurencejuber.com/  Follow us elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/fansontherun

It’s beginning to look a lot like, a new episode of your favourite show, Fans On The Run! In this episode, I’m joined by a New York Times bestselling author, and the co-host of fellow podcast The Beatles Naked, Richard Buskin! We talk about Beatles political cartoons, “Swinging London” and Carnaby Street, practicing the “Lennon Stance” with a plastic Beatle toy guitar, the joys of Sixties pirate radio, a bizarre tale of a school performance of “All You Need Is Love” in the summer of love, the most extensive mention of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich that this show has ever seen, Richard’s tailor father making suits for The Troggs to wear on “Top Of The Pops”, how he got a bestselling book in the USA, and the emotional response to seeing Paul McCartney getting mobbed outside the MPL offices, and more! This episode is available to stream where good podcasts can be heard! Richard’s links:http://www.richardbuskin.com/https://twitter.com/richbuskinhttp://thebeatlesnaked.com/ Follow us elsewhere:https://www.instagram.com/fansontherunpodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/fansontherunpodcasthttps://twitter.com/fansontherunpodhttps://fansontherun.podbean.com/

It’s Friday, so you already know there’s gonna be a new episode of FoTR coming right at you! Joining me today, is a very prevalent member of the Beatles social media world, an ambassador of sorts of the 60s fashion revival, and fellow member of the “new generation”, Connie Mclean! We talk about shouting suggestive comments at The Rolling Stones on stage, sexism within the greater Beatles community, “McLennon”, that time she saw Paul, Ringo and Ronnie Wood at the O2, dancing around the fact I have not seen “Almost Famous”, the differences in pronunciation of “Beatles” across the Atlantic, the correct answer to ‘what’s your favourite Led Zeppelin album?’, and this show’s tendency to ramble on a bit. All that and more? You’d be insane not to listen! This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard! Connie’s links:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdbt...https://www.instagram.com/conniemcleann/https://www.conniemclean.co.uk/ Follow us elsewhere:https://www.instagram.com/fansontheru...https://www.facebook.com/fansontherun...https://twitter.com/fansontherunpodhttps://fansontherun.podbean.com/
