EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD - EPISODE 30

For those of you who are here from Between You And Me, here's the next episode of the podcast early!

This week, we read out your letters on Marillion's Afraid of Sunlight album, which kicks off discussions about singles being available on multiple formats, how experimental the band have been, and Sanja almost ruins things entirely with an epic and inappropriate fit of giggles that lasts roughly half the episode...

EXCLUSIVE: THAT EPIC Q&A - PART 2!

Well, here you go: it's the second part of me answering all your questions. The only one I don't think I answered was about where I'm at with the Chernobyl storytime. I think it might be one I end up doing for Patrons, and I'll try and get around to it soon.

Anyhow... here you go - it's me, exclusively wrecking my voice just for you!

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: MORE DIGI THE SHOW SECRETS!

Afternoon, Top Tier gang! Here's this week's exclusive that's just for you lot. Filmed pre-Sanja's operation, in which we elaborate on why Digitiser The Show wasn't as fun to make as Found Footage... and whether or not we'd do a second series...

THIS WEEK'S DIGI EARLY ACCESS: SPACE RAIDERS!

Hello, Patrons! Here's this week's video. This would've been with you yesterday, but instead I spent all day up the hospital with my dad (he's fine now, thank you).

There'll be new exclusive vids for both tiers before the end of the day, including part 2 of last week's Q&A, which has been the most popular video on the channel for a while. I guess everyone loves a bit of gossip!

Aaaaanyhow... I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one, so here's Sanja and Tony Harris gi...

CHANNEL UPDATE - AND WELCOME!

Morning, everyone. Firstly... hello to the new Patrons. No idea where you're all coming from, or what made so many of you decide to sign up all of a sudden... but man... coupled to all the lovely comments on the latest Digi video, I feel a bit emosh today.

I've currently got three Patreon-exclusive videos waiting to be edited. 

Sorry I've not gotten them to you yet, but I've had a manic week, looking after Sanja, and then yesterday I was just rushed off my feet (had to take m...

EARLY ACCESS: DIGITISER THE SHOW - THE SHOCKING TRUTH!

Hello all. Here's this week's video a little early. The first I've done without a co-host! Well, kinda. Sanja's there, off-camera, being Sanja.

I've still got another bunch of videos which I'll get you before the end of the week, one for each tier, and then there's the second part of this Q&A, which I've decided to keep as a Patreon exclusive for y'all. They're both whoppers.

This one is almost 90 minutes long - far longer than I'd normally do - but I think it's an important o...

FINAL CALL FOR QUESTIONS

Last call for any questions for today's Q&A. We'll be filming around lunchtime! Post below, if you do. I'll try and answer them all.

QUESTIONS REQUIRED FROM PATRONS!

Hey-loh again! So, I'm flying solo on Digi this week for the first time, as Sanja's getting over her operation.  So that I have something/someone to react to we may have some - ahem - surprise guests. BUT... I thought it was overdue that I did another Q&A. I'll be filming tomorrow, so could really do with some questions ASAP.

And for that: over to you. Quite literally ask me anything! Post them below!

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: DELETED FOOTAGE

Hey-yo, Top Tier gang. Here's 15 minutes of deleted footage from the most recent two eps. I can't remember if I shared the latest Third Bird outtakes with you, but I shall check.

In the meantime.. just for you,. here's even more Action Man, and more Ewok rambling, that didn't make it into the episodes.

BYAMPOD - BONUS EPISODE EXCLUSIVE!

I've been alerted to the fact that we might have some new members here via BYAMPOD - which is lovely! I'd forgotten I'd even done a shout-out to Patreon on there.

So... just as well I have a BYAMPOD exclusive to share! This is an ep Sanja and I recorded a couple of weeks back, discussing the results of the Marillion Christmas Poll. We thought it was one of the funniest eps we've done... and then when we listened back, we realised that when the sound recorder got dropped before recording...

HELLO, WELCOME, AND THANK YOU

Hello, gang. Just wanted to give a proper greeting to the new Patrons who've joined in the last week or so. Not sure what we've done to warrant that, but we've not had an influx like this since we first set this thing up.

So, firstly, welcome. Secondly... thank you. There have been times in recent years - last year especially - where Patreon was a life-saver, and let me be a little less stressed, so that I could keep putting out videos and whatnot. 

I used to be incredibly se...

EARLY ACCESS: EWOKS!

This week's video is about Ewoks, and specifically the two mid-80s Ewok movies. We watched them so you don't have to. Given we've not managed to get you this one particularly early, there'll once again be an exclusive for each tier over the next couple of days. You can't argue that you don't get value for money with this Patreon! 

We're not entirely sure what'll be happening next week. Sanja has a - relatively minor - operation tomorrow, to fix the hernia that resulted from our car...

FOUND FOOTAGE: 5th ANNIVERSARY PLANS

If you watched the most recent top tier exclusive video, you saw it happen in real-time: it has dawned on us over the past week or so that this year marks the 5th anniversary of Mr Biffo's Found Footage.

I've said it before, but the months we spent making that series were some of the best of my life. Myself, Sanja and Horsenburger got to work with tons of brilliant people, we were guerrilla en...

EXCLUSIVE: YOUR PROBLEMS ep 1

This is the first of what'll be a series of vids. We both really hope this is okay. No idea if it's helpful... but... we've tried.

If you've got something you want to share with us in confidence, that we'll discuss anonymously in an upcoming ep, you can email us at digitiser2000@gmail.com

Here's the episode:

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE RAMBLECHAT

Here's something for you lot and you lot alone: Sanja and I rambling about... gawd knows what.   Plus: real-time Digi Live brainstorming!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqGGKM78Ub8 

THIS WEEK'S VIDEO: EARLY ACCESS ACTION MAN!

Here's this week's video for you, sliiiiiiightly early. Both top and lower tiers will be getting exclusive videos later today, and there's a ton of deleted footage from this episode that will also be going to the top tier at some point in the next few days.

Hope you enjoy this one. I think it's a cracker, and it has been my favourite one to shoot and edit for a while.

HELP NEEDED!

Hello, gang. I need a favour. I'm trying to burn the Digi The Show master/test DVDs. I need a couple of volunteers to try it out too for me, so I know they work. 

I'll pick the first few of you who respond who'll get a link to the ISO files. And as a thank you, we'll find something nice to send you.

Thanking you! 

Paul

THIS WEEK'S EXCLUSIVES

New vids on the way, y'all. One for everyone - we finally got around to the first of the 'viewers' problems' emails - and one for top tier, wherein we inadvertently brainstorm an EXCELLENT idea for Digi Live. Sorry we're a bit behind getting you videos early, but... I think exclusives are surely better anyway! And we like doing them.

I'm focused on editing this week's main video (featuring Action Man), but as soon as that's done I'll get the two exclusives to you.

EARLY ACCESS: NEXT WEEK'S BYAMPOD

For those who enjoy the podcast, here's next week's episode a week early for you, in which I interview Marillion's original manager... It's a gossip-fest!

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: My Dad

Here you go, Top Tier chums: an exclusive for you lot in which Sanja and I.... well... we mostly talk about my dad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gl52i9AbkY 

Patreon Exclusive: Disney Fanclub Unboxing Thing!

Hey-yo! Here's a brand new exclusive video for all of you, to make up for skipping a week, and getting this week's vid to you later than I'd hoped. Why, it's an unboxing! 

Top Tier Patrons will be getting a couple of bonuses imminently - a rambling video that somehow turned out to mostly be about my dad! Also: ten or so extra minutes of Third Bird.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BvHyp7KvJk&n...

THIS WEEK'S VIDEO: EASTER ACCESS

Righty! At one point this week, I thought this video might not happen. But happen it has. And it's a bumper-length Easter Special - featuring Third Bird - to make up for the lack of video last week. 

Also: both tiers will be getting exclusive videos later this week, probably Friday (top tier gang will, in fact, get two: one of which is 10 minutes of Third Bird outtakes). But anyhow... Happy foetus!

INTERVIEW ANXIETY!

Today I did an interview for the podcast with a guy called John Arnison. If you're a Marillion fan, he'll need no introduction, as he was the band's manager for 16 years, from before they signed a record deal in the early-80s, right through to the late-90s. In his time, he has managed Gabrielle, Leftfield, and currently manages Billy Ocean! Which is a bizarre list of talent, especially when you chuck Marillion in there. 

I'll be honest, I was slightly shitting myself. I generally d...

BETWEEN YOU AND ME - Ep 28

Well, a few of you wanted it, so I figured I should start sharing episodes of the Between You And Me podcast in advance with the top tier gang... So here's next week's episode. Which gets all a bit soppy at points, as Sanja and I look at side 2 of Marillion's Afraid of Sunlight.

If you want to catch up on previous eps, you can do so here:

NEWS: UPDATE!

Hello, all. You'll be glad to know I'm feeling a whole lot better. I just needed a day or two to de-stress a bit. So, we'll be back to normal/abnormal service next week, I think.

I was wondering... are any of you interested in me putting mine and Sanja's podcast up on here early? I know at least a few of the Digi crowd listen to it - even if you don't like Marillion, I think there's enough of our usual rambling and silliness in there. If there's not much interest, I shan't bother, but I...

BITS AND, indeed, BOBS

Hey kids! So, yes... I haven't been able to get you a video yet this week. We'll hopefully be filming tomorrow, but it'll depend on how I'm feeling. The plan had been to record a couple today, but I woke up not exactly feeling in the right mood.

In short... the last month or so has taken its toll a bit. I suppose it's cumulative stress, from my parents being in and out of hospital, then needing to be cared for, coupled to trying to make a living and having deadlines that had to be met.&...

Delay to service!

Hi all. Digi will possibly  be a bit late this week, but there will be a new exclusive video for you too to make up for it (and a special one for the Top Tier gang).

I'll explain a bit more in a blog post for the aforementioned TT crew.

Paul

EARLY ACCESS: KRAPSTARTER!

Hey, kids! Brand new Digi video for you. It's a bit on the extended side... but I know some of you like that.

It's reviving an idea we sort of did with Digitiser Deluxe last year, looking at (mostly) terrible Kickstarter ideas. Enjoy!

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: ELMO WINNER & DIGI LIVE

Hello all. Here's a Patreon-only exclusive for you all. This was meant to be with you last week, but... well... y'know.

Also: the winner of the Tickle-Me-Terminator - revealed!

TONY HARRIS OUTTAKES: TOP TIER EXCLUSIVES

Behold: a bunch of Tony Harris outtakes just for you top tier loons. I can't say there are any absolute comedic gems here, but it gives you a bit of insight into our process. Enjoy!
