Fans On The Run - Paul Perigo (Ep. 94)
2025/11/29
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!)    This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

Fans On The Run - Elise H. (Ep. 93)
2025/07/05
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?   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact [email protected]

2025/01/25
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!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Keep up with Mary: https://linktr.ee/maredevlin12   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact [email protected]
Fans On The Run - Karen Castro (Ep. 91)
2025/01/04
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: [email protected]

2024/07/12
It is in fact, time for the new episode of Fans On The Run!

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: [email protected]
