Our Editor's Take

The host of Fans On The Run: A Podcast Made By, For And About Beatles Fans has loved the band since he was only eight years old. This is a true achievement for someone who was born in 2002. Ethan Alexanian's uncle thought the child might enjoy their music. Even as a GenZ toddler, podcast host Ethan had a refined musical taste. He was already listening to Michael Jackson at that point. So the uncle thought The Beatles would be the next logical step.

One of podcast host Ethan's earliest memories is talking about a conspiracy theory about the band. He remembers his uncle telling him about old rumors that Paul McCartney had died in a car accident in 1966. Fans back then believed that the band hired a lookalike to replace him. More than that, they hid messages about it on album covers and in songs. This fueled Ethan's addiction to collecting the band's records.

Many years have passed, and now Ethan considers himself a true aficionado. He's also a willing participant in Beatlemania. It led him to start the podcast Fans On The Run: A Podcast Made By, For And About Beatles Fans. He wanted to create a place where other Beatles addicts could talk about how they discovered the music. He wanted to learn what caught their attention and how they maintained their passion. In short, he wanted a place to "geek out" about his favorite band with others.

Ethan has a fascinating array of guests on the Fans On The Run: A Podcast Made By, For And About Beatles Fans podcast. They include music journalist Kit O'Toole and TV historian Walter Podrazik. He asks them insightful questions about their fandom and history with the band. All the while, the host also showcases his extensive knowledge of classic rock. It goes beyond the Beatles.
