Fans On The Run - Dr. Richard Mills (Ep. 87)

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!

All that and more? You won't wanna miss it!

This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!
