Fans On The Run: A Podcast Made By, For And About Beatles Fans
Music:Music History
Welcome back to another fab, gear (and all the other pimply hyperboles) episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is history professor and author of the book ‘Joy and Fear: The Beatles, Chicago and the 1960s’, John F. Lyons!
We talk about some of the underground magazines in Chicago, WLS (the World’s Largest Store/World’s Loudest Station) and it’s role in Beatlemania, the origins of the infamous ‘Plaster Caster’, dragging along the family on vacation to libraries for Beatle research, the first time his brother ever showed him an LP, what the inspiration for ‘Joy and Fear’ was, early Beatle books, and the treasure-trove of obscure Beatle interviews from 60s magazines. All that and much more! After this week, FoTR will transition over to a bi-weekly format, with the next episode coming on May 14th.
This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard
