This week, we have an exclusive interview with keyboard wiz Neil Cockle - founding member of Silmarillion, and current member of The Mighty Bard. Neil talks about his time in the band, and some secrets about those very early days. If things had gone another way, Marillion might have had a very different name...

01:38:06||Ep. 151Paul'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!

02:10:45||Ep. 150Unsolicited 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, love, and - at least some of you - hate about BYAMPOD! Thanks for being on the journey with us.
149. The Future of Music...

01:33:15||Ep. 148We'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. Brace yourselves for some VERY different versions of your favourite Marillion songs...

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...
146. The Road To F.E.A.R. - Part 1
01:18:48||Ep. 146This 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...!

01:18:08||Ep. 144This 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.Find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffo
