We are three members of the FIRST all-talk Beatles podcast!

1964 was an incredible year for Beatles fans, particularly in America. But it was also a weird, wacky and confusing time for those fans! Not only were there several releases featuring actual Beatles music on several different labels, but there were even more albums released to "Capitol-ize" on the mania. (See what we did there!) Referred to as 'Beatles exploitation' or 'covers' albums, these releases were simply a money grab for wanna-be entrepreneurs who thought they could make a quick buck. Buyers of these albums were often duped into thinking that they actually contained music by the Fabs, usually because of deceptive album covers, song titles and descriptions of the content. In this fun and informative episode, the Fab 4 Free 4 All are joined by historian Bob Koenig, who has meticulously researched this often overlooked part of Beatlemania. Grab a copy of the magazine featuring Bob's article HERE.

And what, exactly, do we talk about?
No topics … and no opinions … are off limits. We tell it like it is, with an eye toward offering up accurate, and sometimes unique, facts, information, and anecdotes. And since the show is hosted by three longtime friends with VERY individual likes, dislike and perspectives, there is always respectful … but humorous … conversation and debate in every episode.
Fab4Free4All is available as a podcast for download directly from this site, and it can also be found on iTunes, Spotify, and on the sites of many other podcast aggregators. The show is hosted by three Beatles experts – radio veterans, authors, and lecturers – who have each done substantial research and reporting on the world’s most famous rock band. Each has spent years either writing about, lecturing on, or broadcasting the music of the Beatles (or doing some combination of all of those things!). They first joined forces in 2009 as members of The Fab Fourum. (Episodes of that show can be heard on the archive page on this site, and can be downloaded from Archive.org.) Changes and 'tweaks' in that highly successful show led to the exciting adventure that is Fab4Free4All.
The Fab4Free4All crew - Mitch Axelrod, Rob Leonard, Tony Traguardo - focuses on topics that span the Beatles’ group and solo careers. Think of any song or album - any aspect of the Beatles as a group, solo artists, musicians, songwriters, or any part of their history - and it's all here, or bound to be featured in a show some time down the road.
We are humbly grateful for our incredible fan base, and for the positive reviews and reputation that we have earned in the world of Beatles/music-related journalism among our listeners, our peers, and our friends at Apple Corps. and Universal Music.
On this website, you’ll be able to listen to and download exclusive audio segments, interviews, photos and more. You’ll also be able to ask questions of the hosts and participate in trivia contests for Beatle-related prizes.
