Joe and Sarah take a moment to look ahead at Season 3 of Apple TV’s Foundation series. On the back of yet another rewatch of Season 2 and armed with Season 3 trailers and some YouTube help, we consider what may be to come in this always exciting show. Characters and story arcs from the source novels are considered as well as hints and teases from the released teasers. We hope you enjoy this quick attempt to peak ahead and general excitement.

Bonus Episode – Apple TV’s Foundation, Season 2 Recap

SPOILER ALERT!

This podcast is recommended for people who have both seen the TV show (seasons 1 and 2) AND read the source novels (all of them).

Joe and Sarah explore the second season of the Apple TV series Foundation. This is a free-ranging palaver on many different aspects of the Foundation, both the books and the TV series. Having recently done a complete season 2 rewatch, Sarah and Joe explore the ways the TV show diverges from the novels and look for clues as to where the show may be going. Nothing is sacred in this conversation covering all aspects of Foundation as we now know them.

SCS34 – Marillion Weekend at Port Zelande, March 2025

Joe shares his experiences attending the (last??) Marillion Weekend at Port Zelande in March 2025. The conversation covers all the usual Marillion weekend topics including outstanding music, interesting food, new bands, and excellent new friends. Marillion Weekends are truly something special and getting to go to Holland again was a special treat. Be on the lookout for a special “extra” episode to round out the experience. Enjoy!

Episode 159 – Fish Part 11, Vigil In a Wilderness of Mirrors 2024

This episode of the Progressive Palaver is the first in a short segment where the group considers some of the myriad remixes and remasters that have been released in the past few years. This 2024 remix of Fish’s debut solo album presents a dramatic departure from the original. Cleaner and more focused, this remix fits right in with the latest Fish albums while maintaining the charm of the original. This treatment, for the most part, allows these songs to take on a new and vibrant life. We hope you enjoy our discussion.

Special Episode – Interview with Paul Bielatowicz – May 2025

The Palaver had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the amazing guitarist Paul Bielatowicz. We were able to discuss a wide variety of topics ranging from Paul’s gig in the Carl Palmer ELP Legacy to all of his other wide-ranging projects. Paul was able to give us a glimpse into his enticing Patreon community and we were happy to hear his (somewhat) unorthodox approach to guitar playing. Paul is a true gentleman and we very much enjoyed out time speaking with him. We hope you all enjoy it too.

Episode 158 – Styx & Kansas Part 11, 2020 to 2021, The Absence of Presence and Crash of the Crown

The Palaver goes into extra time! We found that we couldn’t close our Styx and Kansas discussions without talking about these two absolute gems from 2020 and 2021. In our explorations of the later catalogs, we all found ourselves enamored with these two records. They each display a vibrance and vitality that is both refreshing and reassuring. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do.

Bonus Episode – Styx and Kansas Playlists

We set a challenge for ourselves, create a 15-song playlist from the combined Styx and Kansas catalogs that we covered here on the Palaver. This was a steep climb and there was some last minute scambling, but we did it! This is a fun, different way for us to look back at the combo Styx/Kansas segment of the Palaver with the added bonus of having playlists on Spotify that everyone can check out.

Special Episode – Interview with Fenando Perdomo – January 2025

At long last we had the privilege of speaking with Fernando Perdomo! You can’t be in the prog world in the 21st century and not know of Fernando. We were thrilled that he was able to make time to discuss many topics including his massive, ambitious Waves project, influences, writing and recording style, and, of course, the devasatating LA fires. For a man who is going to release 12 albums in a year, Fernando still managed to find time to help his friend and neighbors. Check out Fernando’s Waves and MusicCares!
