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

It’s time for another far-out, cosmic episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is the former co-host of fellow-pod Nothing Is Real, Steven Cockcroft!   In this conversational trip around the astral planes, we talk about the booklet that came with the Magical Mystery Tour album, the good and bad of the Moog synthesizer on Abbey Road, the feeling of retribution when a favourite song becomes very popular, why the White Album should have been three discs, Mark Lewisohn, bending the rules of the “desert-island picks” scenario, the most polite protest song of all time, and the perfect sentiment for the chaotic world we find ourselves in: what would Donovan do?   You will not want to miss this!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Listen back to Nothing Is Real: https://www.nothingisrealpod.com/podcast-links   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

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!   Keep up with Benjy: https://www.instagram.com/vinylbenjy/ https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylbenjy https://www.facebook.com/vinylbenjy https://www.youtube.com/@vinylbenjy   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

It's time for another episode of Fans On The Run, the "raccoon in the garbage bin" of Beatle podcasts!   Joining me today (technically it was a while ago, but today is when it is posted!) is one of the co-hosts of fellow pod 'Another Kind Of Mind', Phoebe Lorde!   In this wide-ranging chat we discuss the genesis of AKOM, the 1987 documentary "It Was Twenty Years Ago Today", A Beatle book neither of us know the name of, why the term "granny music" needs to die, The Beatles' covers of songs by the girl-groups, the "too many cooks" situation at Capitol Records circa 1965, and a certain denim-outerwear related phrase. All that AND more!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Keep up with Phoebe and Another Kind Of Mind https://anotherkindofmind.com/   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

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!   You will NOT want to miss this!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Keep up with Fred and Mixology: https://linktr.ee/backtomono   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com
