Between You and Me - A Marillion Podcast

03/10/2025

Brand new BYAMPOD, and one final discussion about AI. We should all be worried about the next few years, and how the way we create and 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? Also: a brand new (temporary) theme song! Available everywhere. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/between-you-and-me-a-podcast-about-marillion/id1530960617?i=1000729802638

Expanding on our most recent episode, we've put together a video with the tracks featured, as well as many you've not heard (or, at least, not heard like this!).

We appreciate that AI is controversial, and the debates around it, but we've merely used it to look at the band's lyrics in a new light. We're not making any money from this video, and on behalf of BYAMPOD we've made a donation to Help Musicians, a charity that for 100 years has been working hard to make a meaningful difference to the lives of musicians across the UK.

And now for something completely different. We're taking a breather from F.E.A.R. for a week, given all the heavy subject matter in recent episodes. Brace yourselves for some VERY different versions of your favourite Marillion songs... https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/between-you-and-me-a-podcast-about-marillion/id1530960617?i=1000728481831

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. However, it's almost impossible to discuss the topics this album covers without touching on politics to some degree. And so, for better or worse, we do... Available now wherever you got your podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/between-you-and-me-a-podcast-about-marillion/id1530960617?i=1000727428125

We've started our look at 2016's F.E.A.R. - up to that point it was Marillion's most political album... or was it? We look back at some of their earlier material to find out...

Up now everywhere; a brand new episode of BYAMPOD, and this week we're finally diving into F.E.A.R. - and it's probably our favourite ep since we came back. It's a twisty-turny road, taking in the rise of AI, before looking at Marillion's previous 'political' songs - from White Russian, to Gaza. What's the potential cost of making your views known in a song? And with the world as it now is... what will the next Marillion album bring? https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/between-you-and-me-a-podcast-about-marillion/id1530960617?i=1000725067086

It's another new ep! This week, we review the sublime new album from Steve Rothery and Thorsten Quaeschning, cast our eye over the Remains of the Weekend live albums (and compare the setlists with the 2025 Weekends), and come up with a replacement for the finger lights during Go!... https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/between-you-and-me-a-podcast-about-marillion/id1530960617?i=1000723952602

22/08/2025

We're back once again, like the renegade progsters. We're sticking with neo-prog for another week, as we reveal the results of Sanja listening to 80s progressive rock, and dig deeper into why Marillion still get lumped in with the likes of IQ, Pendragon, et al. Available on all the usual progcast outlets. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/between-you-and-me-a-podcast-about-marillion/id1530960617?i=1000723018048

Hello, gang! Belated apologies that there was no BYAMPOD last week. We did record one, but... well... we kind of went off at an even bigger tangent than usual and didn't have time to get another one done. Instead, we'll be putting it up as a Patreon exclusive later this week, for those who are members.

Rest assured, we haven't gone away again and we'll be back this Friday with a bona fide new episode.

08/08/2025

New episode! This week, 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. Also... we stumble across a mystery Marillion song that we bet NONE of you have ever heard... Out now everywhere.
