296: Exploring the evolving nature of Beatles fandom with Richard Mills

Don’t let the fact of my guest’s doctorate and his publisher (Bloomsbury) fool you – Richard’s excellent text and groundbreaking research make a compelling case for the evolving nature of Beatles fandom, shining light on their enduring popularity. Consider this conversation a hang with your favorite professor: though we boomerang from subject to subject (I nearly titled this one “Hey look! A squirrel!”), Richard is a thought-provoking Beatles scholar and I am looking forward to our next chat.
