Between You And Me - A Podcast About Marillion

We're continuing our analysis of Marillion's singles, starting with the first ten years of the Steve Hogarth era. In the context of the time they were released, were Hooks In You, Beautiful, These Chains etc. the right choices?Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoSend us an email: byampod@gmail.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Watch Paul and Sanja on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@digitiser Hosted on Acast.

At last, we get around to completing our retrospective of Marillion's Sounds That Can't Be Made. And it's a bumper edition... which not only contains our take on Montreal, Invisible Ink, Lucky Man and Sky Above The Rain, but dredges up a few hefty chunks of our souls, while Sanja enjoys an ill-advised flirtation with AI research...Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoSend us an email: byampod@gmail.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Watch Paul and Sanja on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@digitiser Hosted on Acast.

This ep was inspired by some damning criticism of Marillion. We discuss what it is that set them apart from their early-80s Neo-prog peers... before asking where they belong today.

We're taking a hiatus from Sounds The Can't Be Made to talk about the final night of Marillion's Tour Before Christmas. We trekked out in the rain to the Camden Roundhouse where... well, suffice to say it wasn't the night we'd hoped for.

There's no way we can talk about Marillion's Sounds That Can't Be Made without discussing the epic track Gaza... and there's no way of discussing Gaza without discussing certain events that are happening right now in the Middle East.

We've finally reached Sounds That Can't Be Made in our chronological journey through Marillion's albums. This one's a milestone for us, as it's Sanja's 'first' Marillion album.

We're back, BYAMtches! Again. And this time we're coming out swinging. We review our night seeing h Natural at The Crooked Billet, plus we take a look back at some of the mainstream newspaper reviews from 1989... How did the press react to the debut of the new boy?

The final part of our 13th Star trilogy of episodes finds us drawing a line under Fish's solo career, as we discuss what happens when the line becomes blurred between critic and artist, and artist and fan. It's not the review we'd planned, or wanted, to make, and in this episode we explain - in real-time - why that is.

Once again, this isn't the episode we expected to make this week, but after receiving an email from Fish, it's also one we couldn't avoid.

What started out intending to be an episode about Fish's one-off reunion with Marillion in 2007 turned into something a bit darker and more intense. We dig into the story behind the reunion and the inspiration for his 13th Star album. Unfortunately, there are certain subjects that simply can't be avoided...

At last! After a lengthy summer hiatus we're back! To mark our return, we're going right back to the beginning, by taking a look at the Early Stages live boxset, and discussing Fish's final show with Marillion. Plus!

It's a different sort of BYAMPOD this week, as we risk making the biggest error of our podcasting career, by discussing the current accusations aimed at Roger Waters... and how his approach to the Israel-Palestine issue differs to when Marillion took it on with Gaza.

At last! We've finally finished talking about Marillion's Happiness is the Road. We end on Especially True and Real Tears For Sale, discussing our feelings about the USA, and the issue of over-sharing your feelings.

In this ep, we set out with the intention of continuing our discussion about Marillion's The Hard Shoulder, the second volume of Happiness Is The Road. We discuss the time we got trapped in a dinner party with Sophie Ellis Bextor's mother, and the pick and mix and lewdly-named shower gel you can buy at Port Zelande, before we get onto Asylum Satellite #1 and Older Than Me.

This week, we're blowing off steam after a run of heavy episodes... by drinking (though there's some debate over who has drunk the most). We also discuss Marillion's Half Empty/Full Jam, and whether it has a place on Happiness Is The Road Volume 1. We also read some of your letters.

We come to the end of The Road (Volume 1) in this ep, but before we get onto Marillion.. we spend the first 20 minutes discussing some listener feedback, whether it's okay to joke about certain topics, and humour as a coping mechanism.

There's something about Marillion's Happiness Is The Road which seems to bring out Paul and Sanja's reflective side, and in this episode they end up digging into the start of their own relationship, and how a relationship alone may not be enough to fill the hole in a person's heart. Also, a tangential discussion about self-love.In addition to Nothing Fills The Hole, we also listen to Liquidity and Woke Up.Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoPaul's new album: https://mrbiffo.bandcamp.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Email us here: byampod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

We're continuing with the songs from Happiness Is The Road Volume 1, with Essence and Wrapped Up In Time. After settling down following early attempts to come up with a title for a Meat Loaf podcast, we talk in depth about being present in the now, grief, and nothing less than the meaning of life...It might be one of our most open and emotionally honest episodes to date.

We tried something a bit different this week; a rare, Marillion-lite, in which we look the key events and music releases of 2008, in a bid to put the release of Happiness Is The Road into some sort of context. We're not totally sure it works as a format, but as a wander down memory lane it does it job. Also, we tease our big 100th episode, and discuss the messed-up way British people make fun of the things they love... including their favourite band... Hosted on Acast.
