In this ep of BYAMPOD we kick off with our take on the Marillion Weekend 2023 news, before getting stuck into the first clutch of songs on Somewhere Else: The Other Half, See It Like A Baby, Thankyou Whoever You Are... and the notorious Most Toys...

We're finally at the point of talking about Somewhere Else - Marillion's 2007 follow-up to Marbles. It's an album that has something of a mixed legacy, and in this episode we argue that it's a record that deserves better than its reputation. We also explore where it might've gone so wrong - and why Paul may have had something to do with it.

Also, we check in with The Corona Diaries, and enjoy a review of the Montreal Marillion Weekend...!

This week, we're looking back at the time Marillion played Milton Keynes Bowl - the biggest audience they ever faced in the UK. Then we have the final word on Marillion setlists, as we look at which albums are the most unrepresented live. Also, sorry for the 10 minute rant about politics. And the belch.

This week is a bit of a mixed bag... we discuss everything from next year's Marillion Weekends, to Fish's Funny Farm Kitchen Garden project. Then we delve back into the postbag for some more letters, discussing the Marillion albums we found most immediate, some additional thoughts on An Hour Before It's Dark - and we dig down into one of Ocean Cloud's most iconic lines...

Also, it was out of date almost the second we recorded it: Lucy has since announced that Port Zealande will be going ahead in 2023. More on that next time!

This ep, we spend the first three minutes battling a housefly, before discussing butterflies and moths. When we do eventually settle down... we take a look at the latest Marillion DVD (plus one from a while back), then we're joined by Stephen Wicks from the very funny Mockillion page on Facebook. He tells us about making fun of the band... and the recent Stockholm Marillion Weekend.

We've finally reached the end of our setlist statistics trawl, with a look at Marillion's most-played live songs. Where does Neverland come in the ranking? What about Market Square Heroes? What's the song Marillion have played live more than any other - and is it Fish-era or h-era? And why do we go off at a tangent about prank phone calls?

Seemingly, we were among the few people to avoid getting Covid at the recent UK Marillion Weekend (that didn't stop us getting ill though)... Which led us to discuss the risks of gigging in a 'post'-pandemic world. After that, we resume our look at Marillion's setlist statistics, with a selection of songs from somewhere in the middle, including some of the epics - Ocean Cloud, Interior Lulu, and Grendel.

This week we begin our look at every single song Marillion has ever played live, and nominate our choices for the ones they should play more... and the ones they should never play again ever! Also: we discuss some Marillion Weekend news, and you'll learn what Sanja calls Paul when she forgets she's on mic...

In the second and final part of our Marbles postbag, we discuss bands who have just one great album (and ask if Marillion could be one of them), talk about the forthcoming Marillion Weekend 2019 DVDs and CDs (and the stolen tapes), and of course tackle the thorny issues of Whigfield, and whether the hypnotist Paul McKenna is still alive or not...
