I'M NOT BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO THIS, BUT...

Happy, ah, Tuesday, everyone. 

Not much to report this week. I’m finally well into Ep 5 of Digi Level 2 – the Pirate Special - though there are still some bits and pieces to film. We’ve just not had the time, with stuff going on, ...

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD EP 137 - Sounds That Can't Be Made Part 4

At last, we get around to completing our retrospective of Marillion's Sounds That Can't Be Made. And it's a bumper edition... which not only contains our take on Montreal, Invisible Ink, Lucky Man and Sky Above The Rain, but dredges up a few hefty...

KNIGHTMARE ON TELETEXT!

Sorry I didn't get this to you early. I'll make it up to you next week in my own special way.

WRITERS CLUB ADJACENT: TV IN CRISIS

Hello, Upper Tiers. Thought I’d share this video that I saw on LinkedIn, regarding the current freelancer crisis in TV. It’s a sobering watch, but it gives insight into what's going on in the industry right now.

I don’t know all the r...

PUDSEY THE DOG: WATCH MY LIVE COMMENTARY

Yaaaaaaallreeeeet?

So, just to say, for those in that Patreon tier and above… Writer’s Club Zoom tomorrow night (Thursday 25th) at 7.30pm. Yes:...

HAPPY MONDAY UPDATE

Morrrrrrning.

 For those of you following along at home – my mother’s now in her nursing home. Actually settling her in went easier than w...

LIFE UPDATE STUFF - LONG and HEAVY

So. An update on a few things that I know some of you are invested in…!

Firstly… the diet, so far, has been going fine. I’ve not struggled at all with it this week, and it feels like I’ve managed to flick the right switch in my head....

EARLY ACCESS: MYST - Let's Play

I hate this game.

BORING BLOG ABOUT BEING FAT

Look! Look how stupidly slim I was 12 years ago.

Growing up, I was a lanky bugger, hard as that might be to believe, then I hit 18, and st...

MONDAY UPDATE

Happy Monday, gang.

Still coughing, but I think I’m out the other side. It’s gone from that irritating tickly cough to something a bit meatier and mo...

DIGI LEVEL 2 SERIES FINALE BEHIND THE SCENES...

Too knackered for a full update. Still not done filming. But here you go. Nobody can accuse this of not being a good looking show at least.

INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY!

The Patreon chatrooms are now available on desktop (click the Community link in the sidebar), if you're interested. It's easier for me to use them that way than fiddling around on a phone, so I'll try and be a bit more active in there. This is bas...

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Ep 136

This ep was inspired by some damning criticism of Marillion. We discuss what it is that set them apart from their early-80s Neo-prog peers... before asking where they belong today. And stay tuned for our new podcast - The Prog Paddock!

BONG!

Morning, all.

So… believe it or not… I’m ill again. I hate whingeing about it… but for whatever reason – whether it’s the flu I had re...

UPPER TIERS BLOG: DOING RETRO GAMING CONTENT IS FUUUUN!

Oh-hoh! Funky Spectrum has finally had a proper pop at me, having been taking a few unprompted Twitter cracks at Gannon in recent weeks.

If you don’t know who or what Funky Spectrum is - and I suspect there are many of you who don't - the ...

EARLY ACCESS: THE OREGON TRAIL

Happy Monday!

This Let's Play thing wasn't meant to go on as long as it did, but if you've liked Sanja and I doing these then please enjoy this bumper edition. I'd never played The Oregon Trail before, but know it by reputation. We've loved...

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD EP 135

New BYAMPOD! We kick off this ep with talk about next year's Marillion Weekends, before delving into the Fish-era singles. Were they the best choices? Which album tracks might've worked as potential singles? Let the debate begin!

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: A WALK IN THE WOODS!

Now with sound! And extra footage I forgot to put in the first version! We revisit a bunch of filming locations we've been to before, only to find they've changed beyond all recognition! Also, we find a haunted murder house.

Please note: thi...

SCRATCH THAT...

Video had no sound! Give me half an hour...

BYAMPOD EPISODE 134...

Well... we're back for now - on an unscheduled Saturday, just in time for Easter. We've got a lot of catching up to do... Cruise To The Edge, Pete's health, Fish's farewell tour... and some disturbing developments at the site of the first Marillio...

EARLY ACCESS: BAMBOOZLE LET'S PLAY!

Happy Easter, everyone. Here's something special for you.

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: HERE'S US!

Hello, gang. We thought we'd do you a podcast update on where we're at, what we've been doing, watching, and listening to - and how we feel about Digi Level 2 so far.

And because we know most of you don't want to listen to podcasts, please w...

H’okay! We’re better. Finally. More or less. Thanks for bearing with us.

There’s a Biffo’s Brain Zoom happening tonight for those of you in that tier, and we’re aiming to get a new Let’s Play done tomorrow to go out on Sunday (yo...

MUM'S THE WORD...?

Hello, gang.

Happy Monday. Will try not to make this a whinge, but it probably will be.

I’m still not better. This damn flu just doesn’t...

BUNKER FEVER

Hello, lovely folks. So… I’m somehow still ill. 

I dunno if this poxy flu has turned into pneumonia, but I’m giving it another 24 hrs, a...

BLOG: THE FUTURE OF EVERYTHING

Morning, all.

I’ve been slapped about with both a simultaneous upset stomach and a weird cold thing this week – everything bar the snot - so that’s been fun. Coughing at both ends!

Sorry.

Feeling very washed out now, so… ...

LETS TRY AGAIN... PRESENTING... DIGI LEVEL 2 EPISODE 4!

SORRY - SPOKE TOO SOON....

Had to take it down again to fix a little error I spotted RIGHT at the end. Bums. Will be back up again asap.

Get in now! It's up until Saturday, when it'll switch to early access. If you'd prefer to watch it go out live, we'll see you in the chat at 6pm on Sunday.
