    Fans On The Run - Abigail Devoe (Ep. 95)

    It's Friday, and it's once again time for another episode of Fans On The Run!   Joining me today is music writer/critic/historian, co-host of "Unveiling the Legends: Dolls of the 60s and 70s", and host of the "Vinyl Monday" series, my friend Abigail Devoe!   In our free flowing conversation, we talk about The Sonics, Pattie Boyd's timeless style, how to store a record collection (and how not to!), The Fool, our beloved Mal Evans, our slightly-less beloved Magic Alex, Paul McCartney: tugboat captain, the recent documentary on The Zombies, Nico and her harmonium, the term "influencer", reclaiming "our" records from the record store, the value of a good Afghan coat, "Long, Long, Long" and its place on the White Album, the most valuable website for music nerds like us, and Karl Ferris' clarification of what Donovan is wearing on the cover of the "A Gift From A Flower To A Garden" album!.   With a bit of a large gap in time between starting and finishing this episode, today's new/old show has a slightly different structure, but the same splendid time is guaranteed for all!   This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!   Keep up with Mary: https://linktr.ee/abigaildevoe   Follow us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/fansontherun   Contact fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

    Fans On The Run - Paul Perigo (Ep. 94)

    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 - Karen Castro (Ep. 91)

    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
