Between You And Me - A Podcast About Marillion

We're back! For now. Just in time to take a retrospective look at Marillion.com in the wake of the new Deluxe Edition. We also tackle Marillion's trip to East Berlin, upcoming solo projects, and Steve Rothery's new podcast... Our trip to Berlin (featuring Marillion): https://youtu.be/4DZqPmYDCrk?si=l6zmTAooBQkhUjuy https://youtu.be/O2fcZpp4t1I?si=TfDh99sXQlic6T9k Paul's album inspired by the trip:...

All good things come to an end, and - for now - this is the end of one of our favourite things we've ever done. Over 154 episodes we've laughed, cried, annoyed people, made friends and given you our honest thoughts on Marillion - and this episode has all of that. Except, the crying is from laughing too much. This is the final, epic, episode of BYAMPOD. For now. Support us on Pateon: w https://www....

Hello, BYAMtches. Well, it’s the final part of our look at Marillion's F.E.A.R. plus… a big announcement at the end that we know some of you will be saddened by. Alas, this is the final regular episode of BYAMPOD. We've had a good run, but we feel now is the time. We explain more in the episode. If you'd like to send us an email or voice-note for our very last episode, our email is byampod@gmail.c...

This has been the hardest ep of BYAMPOD ever to put together. It's another experiment with Suno, throwing new light on some Marillion old songs using some of the website's new features - but we take a different approach to last time. We tried to bring new life to some pre-EMI demos, and reimagined the back catalogue in wildly different ways to shed new light on the music. It's further terrifying e...

Paul's recovering from a migraine this week, but that doesn't stop us from delving into tracks 2 and 3 from Marillion's F.E.A.R. album - Living In FEAR and The Leavers!

Unsolicited opinions? Check. Bickering? Check. Inaccurate and unflattering impressions of band members? Check. Talking about a popular Marillion track in eye-wateringly excruciating detail? Check. Irreverent tangents, misunderstandings and wild speculation about the meaning of lyrics? Check, check, and check! It's our bumper 150th episode, and it's stuffed full of everything you've come to know, l...

We should all be worried about the next few years, and how the way we consume media and entertainment is going to completely transform. With AI able to produce new music in seconds - is the future of real music in jeopardy? And what does it mean for Marillion?

We're taking a breather from F.E.A.R. for a week, given all the heavy subject matter in recent episodes. It wasn't the plan, but this BYAMPOD became about the potential impact of AI on music.

If you skip the first 20 or so minutes, this episode settles down into a fun chat about some of the origins surrounding Marillion's F.E.A.R. album. However, it's hard to discuss the topics this album covers without touching on politics to some degree. And so, for better or worse, we do...

This episode we dig into the potential impact of AI on the music industry before tackling the thorny issue of whether Marillion has ever been a political band - and if they'd be able to release the track Gaza in the current climate... It's the beginning of the road to F.E.A.R...! Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanja Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hos...

This week we're returning to the world of Neo-Prog, and finally get to the bottom of why - for us at least - Marillion shouldn't be lumped in alongside all the Neo-prog bands (IQ, Pendragon, et al) they started alongside.

In this episode, Paul casts his mind back to the 1980s, and remembers being around at the time of the new wave of progressive rock - with bands like IQ, Pallas, Pendragon, and - yes - Marillion.
