With Seasons End already two-thirds written by the time Steve Hogarth joined Marillion, how much of his own identity was he even able to stamp onto the band? This week, we begin to find out, as Paul and Sanja get their hooks into Seasons End.

Season 2 of BYAMPOD kicks off with Paul's 1989 reaction to the then-new Marillion singer, Steve Hogarth, and - particularly - what he thought of the band's debut single with H, Hooks in You. Also...

In this season 1 finale, Paul and Sanja take a look at the bonus demos that would've become the fifth album Marillion made with Fish - if he hadn't left the band. Plus, they reflect upon the legacy of the Fish era, and give a glimpse into what's coming up in future episodes. Also, Paul does the greatest impression of Fish ever committed to audio.

In the week that Fish releases his final solo album, Weltschmerz, it's time for the next chapter in the Marillion story, as we start our dive into that difficult second album - with the first side of Fugazi. One of these songs made Sanja feel "physically sick" - but which one?!?

It's time for a deep dive into second side of Marillion's first album, Script For A Jester's Tear - the classic Garden Party, Chelsea Monday and Forgotten Sons! Things get a bit in-depth when we start talking about songs dealing with war. Well, in-depth and disrespectful... Sorry, Fish!

We also let slip which member of the band we named our car after...
