EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD EP 146
Added 2025-09-03 16:23:33 +0000 UTCI don't normally recommend non-Marillion fans to listen to BYAMPOD, but there's probably a lot in this episode that you might find interesting; from the fallout over some of this year's YouTube videos and why we're avoiding politics on our new channel, to why I wouldn't be able to make my BBC3 pilot Biffovision today.
We do also 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...!

That “I love horses” sting caused me to choke on my coffee. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers Mr Rose. Just as soon as I get some.

2025-09-05 19:04:29 +0000 UTCExcellent. I remember when FEAR came out Marillion threads on Facebook were full of people ranting 'I don't want Hogarth's Brexit views rammed down my throat!' Revealing that they hadn't listened to it. That, and your experiences, demonstrate the extent to which there are vast swathes of people who trawl social media desperate to be triggered. The online world is staggeringly toxic at the moment.
