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

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!

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!

We talk about the "Tomorrow Never Knows" segment of The Compleat Beatles, the curation of vault of Beatle outtakes, the brief coexistence of the UK and US configurations of the catalog on different formats, the good and bad sides of AI generated "new Beatles songs", the eternal wisdom of Mike Love and Donovan, and how John Lennon "blew the load too early" with a track from Beatles For Sale.
