Sanja had warned me that the sound was terrible on this, and while it's not perfect... it's fine enough! It does peak at points, but it's good enough to go up as an episode of Bubblegun.
But get his: before that happens, Upper Tiers Gang gets the full unedited video of the whole darn thing....

Afternooooooon! Right. We're experimenting with different YouTube upload days and according to analytics, Monday's as good a day as any.
So here's our new video. I can’t remember if I told you what it was? Basically, we tried to have a “Hollywood-style” day in “Britain’s Hollywoo...
2025-10-13 15:48:04 +0000 UTC View PostEnough of this ridiculous cat talk!
Well, that’s that thing done. Unfortunately, I didn't record a vlog, because in my early morning brain fog I forgot to take the camera and mic. Sorreeee.
I’m really glad I did it though, and they were nice people, but it’s not for me. It’s s...

Happy Freitag everyone! Paul is away today, and while I am extremely tempted to fill this Patreon post with pictures of cats - I mean, he can't stop me, and won't be able to delete it for several hours yet - I am nevertheless exercising some self restraint and sharing the Digipedia video from Chu...
2025-10-10 10:11:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfternoon, you lot.
Alas, the new video isn’t going to be ready before the weekend. Sanja’s only just finished transferring the footage. And also… probably no BYAMPOD this week. Sorry, gang. Something had to give.
Basically, our daughter got home from holiday late last night, so...

So, the next vid kind of builds on one we did a few years ago during covid times (which, alas, not many people watched). But this is quite different. And also: one heck of an ending!

Thought I’d share this AI mock-up of – allegedly – me, which the marketing company sent over for the R-Type Delta ad thing I’m filming imminently. Let us not use this moment to debate the rights or wrongs of them not hiring a concept artist...

2025-10-07 15:22:51 +0000 UTC View PostSo! We tried to record a Bubblegun, and you can find the vestigial remnants of it in the first 20 mins or so of this episode... before we realise I'm probably too exhausted to give it the full oomph it needs. And so, it settles down into a cosy, laid-back chat about what we've been watching, our ...
2025-10-07 11:52:51 +0000 UTC View PostWell… yesterday was unexpectedly lovely. I mean, it started with me getting a Facebook friend request from Marillion’s guitarist, which was a bit surreal.
Before I say anything else… a huge, huge shout-out to lovely David Walford. He paid for the entire Chunky Fringe and even s...
2025-10-05 08:43:40 +0000 UTC View PostIf you're not coming to Chunky Fringe this afternoon, two things: a) You are foolish, and b) You should be able to watch the live stream at the link below (Bubblegun at 4.30pm with Dan Does, and then me doing Digi stuff at 6pm):
Just saying... you'll kick yourselves if you can't be there.
2025-10-03 12:03:36 +0000 UTC View PostMorning, you lot.
Bong! Tomorrow we hope to see some of you at Chunky Fringe. It’s all much more low-key than a Digi Live, but the weather forecast is looking good, so the carpark will no doubt be employed for socialising! Also: the bar’s open. I’m not driving, so I’m hoping to actu...
2025-10-03 09:28:44 +0000 UTC View PostEven if you're not a Marillion fan, it's worth having a listen to this episode to find out why my opinion on AI has changed, why I think we should all be worried about the next few years, and how the way we consume media and entertainment is going to completely transform.
Also: temporary ne...

We also recently watched The Ballad Of Wallace Island, which was most excellent. While we were recording this episode, we couldn't remember which short film...

2025-10-01 12:47:29 +0000 UTC View PostYes, it's actually happening this time. Hurrah!
Here's the Zoom link for the quiz, and we'll see you at 7.30pm tonight. As always, no pressure to speak or even put your camera on. It's just a bit of fun innit.
GAH! Obviously, we're not doing the quiz tonight, because I got too hyper-focused on finishing all my work instead. Here's some excellent news: I've cleared the decks. Big pressure lifted. I am freeeeee!
So! The quiz will go ahead tomorrow night for definite! Unless one of us dies.

2025-09-30 16:06:50 +0000 UTC View PostMorning all. Happy Monday. Sorry again about taking a raincheck on the quiz. Sanja had a massive headache, while I was in bed at 5.30pm last night, and woke up at half eight this morning. Hard to explain really, but we just hit a wall at the weekend after heading down to Brighton to see my daught...
2025-09-29 09:40:06 +0000 UTC View PostGah! Sorry, gang. We're going to have to postpone tonight's quiz. Both Sanja and I are feeling grotty and having talked it through.. neither of us are exactly up to hosting. We'll provisionally pencil in Tuesday evening, but I'll let you know tomorrow how we're feeling.
So sorry again to ...
2025-09-28 10:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostJust received this query. Leave a comment if you're coming down for Chunky Fringe next weekend and can help out. Ride shares and the like have helped with people getting to Digi Live in the past.
That's all. That's what this post is about: quiz tomorrow at 7pm. I'll send a link closer to the time.
We're taking a breather from F.E.A.R. for a week, given all the heavy subject matter in recent episodes. It wasn't the plan, but this BYAMPOD became about the potential impact of AI on music....
2025-09-25 19:09:36 +0000 UTC View PostMorning, y’all.
Not sure if the Wednesday upload experiment worked, given that we moved from Fridays to avoid clashing with Cheapshow… and then Cheapshow uploaded a new video last night. GAH! There’s no escape. It’s a bloody minefield.
Thursdays it is, I think, from now on. 2025-09-25 08:18:38 +0000 UTC View Post
Behold: our new video, on our new day of Wednesdays. Go comment, go watch, and - importantly - please give this a hype! We loved putting this chaos together, and - as you'll see - it's full of unscheduled interactions with the locals... much to our eternal shame and pain.
2025-09-24 15:00:34 +0000 UTC View PostIt feels weird having a video ready to go and not sharing it with you all. But... let's stick to our guns with this experiment. It'll be going live Thursday afternoon, so brace yourselves.
Here's another early access clip from it; our attempt to explore the folklore of Southend goes awry.....

New 20th episode of Bubblegun up now, if you missed it last night. I think we’re going to move the upload day to Sundays. Monday is kind of a nothing day, I think.
