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

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 [https://linktr.ee/fansontherun]   Contact: fansontherunpodcast@gmail.com

It is in fact, time for the new episode of Fans On The Run! The show made by, for, and about Beatles fans - and today we lean into fandom as our guest today quite literally "wrote the book" on Beatles fandom. He's the author of "The Beatles and Fandom: Sex, Death and Progressive Nostalgia", Dr. Richard Mills!   Besides sex, death and progressive nostalgia, we talk about "The Grey Album" by Danger Mouse, applying Freudian psychological concepts to The Beatles Monthly, the hopes and fears around A.I., The Beatles in the internet age, a fourth-wall break in the "Free As A Bird" music video, capitalism, electricity, pondering what John Lennon would think of modern Beatles books, and much, much more!
