Between You And Me - A Podcast About Marillion

The Hard Shoulder Part 2

Ep. 113
•

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. 


In true BYAMPOD style, this opens up a big discussion about ageism - and whether or not Marillion have done a better job of avoiding it more than Paul has...

  • 129. SOUNDS THAT CAN'T BE MADE - Part 2

     01:37:42
    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.
