It's pratically Halloween today, so today we have a particularly spooky episode of Fans On The Run! Why is it spooky you may ask? Just look up pictures of those old Beatles Bubble Bath "Soakies"! In this discussion with the author of "NEMS and the Business of Selling Beatles Merchandise in the U.S. 1964-1966" Terry Crain, we cover a provebial smorgasbord of topics! Unnoficial record players, the mad rush of the morning of Febuary 10th, 1964, nostalgia for the "Paul is Dead" rumour, the fate of the original moulds of the Remco model kits, the era of Beatle historians hyperfixated on certain areas of Beatle knowledge, and an instance of yours truly misremembering an unnoficial "Beat Time" pinball machine!
This episode is available to stream wherever good podcats can be heard!

Welcome to this freaky "Fans On The Run" Friday, and oh boy, do we have a show for you! I am joined by the host of the "Glass Onion: On John Lennon" podcast Antony Rotunno, for a magical mystery tour through his own Beatles history! We talk about a Guinness World Of Records exhibition, a stolen copy of "A Collection Of Beatles Oldies", John's heroin addiction, the Tavistock theory, the importance of bringing a new swing to Beatles history, growing up in a time where you didn't have to wait for The Beatles' album releases, Antony's opinions on several sacred John Lennon songs, and much more! A splendid time is gaurenteed for all!

It is Fans On The Run Friday (try saying that ten times fast) once again, and we have another great episode! I'm joined by "All You Need Is Love: Tribute To The Fab Four", and the man dubbed "Mr. Shampoo", Nathan Loo! We talk about arranging Beatles songs for live performances, post-Stanley Cup hockey parties, the impact of the original "Beatlemania" show, the excitement surrounding "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl" LP, the futile persuit of audiophile perfection, the "Rose Morris" Rickenbacker export models, the original movie mix of "Help!", and a new nickname for yours truly! All that, and much more, but you'll just have to listen for yourself!

Fans On The Run is here once more, with our special guest for this week, James Ryan! This is one of the most free-form episodes yet, and it goes a lot of places this show usually doesn't. We talk about alternate history, shoegaze, Doctor Who, song publishing, animation, communism, while still keeping it anchored to those four guys from Liverpool. Tune in, turn on, drop out, man!

It is Fans On The Run Friday once more! As of today, Fans On The Run is going back to a one-a-week schedule, but don’t worry, double-trouble summer is going out with a bang! This is the interview that the universe did not want to happen, with internet problems, power failure, computer crashes and possibly voodoo magic, and against all odds, this week’s guest is none other than Mitch Weissman! He and I talk about pretty much everything under the sun, including some juicy never-before-heard info about the history behind Beatlemania! Technical warts and all, we hope you will enjoy the show!

In this episode of Fans On The Run, I chat with one of the biggest Beatle collectors in the world, and the king of replica Beatle clothing, Russ Lease! We talk about hearing that The Beatles broke up in his high-school cafeteria, going down to the Hard Rock headquarters to see John's original Rubber Soul jacket, bidding on, and winning Ringo's original Ed Sullivan drum skin, starting Beatlesuits in the late '90s, the saga of the seven Beatles drum skins, and so, so, SO much more!
