Well, Digi Live Weekend tickets DIDN'T go on sale today as we'd hoped (trust me: we're as frustrated as I know some of you are), but hopefully tomorrow. I promise you'll be the first to know.
So, in this brand new early access video, please ignore the bit at the start about tickets be...

Hello, gang. Here's something a bit different: a life update podcast thing in the form of a video. We explain in the intro. To give you something to look at, I asked Midjourney to give its rendition of Sanja and I... So, thanks a bunch for that, Midjourney.
We're off to film at the V&...

The latest BYAMPOD is a bit of a mixed bag. It starts with a discussion about Peter Gabriel's first brand new music in over 20 years, and Steve Rothery's forthcoming solo tour, before delving into the past to look at a website update from 1997, plus reviews from the 80s of Marillion's VHS video c...
2023-01-12 18:16:27 +0000 UTC View PostHello gang. No regular Digi this week, because I'm a bit behind on work. I had a lot of inquiries on Fiverr over Christmas, which I put off until after New Year. Then I had to follow up on them all. It didn't help that, like most of us coming back to work, last week was a bit of a grind.

Happy New Year, BYAMPODders. We're back! And we've got news of Marillion's success in the Prog Magazine readers' poll, Transatlantic, the forthcoming Marillion Weekends, and even manage to squeeze in a few letters.
Coming later this week a new Bonus episode... and a Writer's Club podc...

Hello gang. Hope you had a lovely break. Because the anniversary celebrations simply refuse to stop... here's the third (and final) of our special episodes.

Hello, you lot. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Flu knocked us right out. Yesterday was the first day I felt human again. Sanja's still suffering a bit.
Just a reminder that you have 24 hours to watch the Digi Anniversary special before it goes up for the hoi polloi. There'll be another Di...

Thanks to The Flu, we haven't quite managed to bring you the full Digi Patreon Christmas schedule that we wanted... but here's one final treat for the year, that'll be going up on our anniversary, Sunday 1st January 2023: it's an extra-long special - taking you all the way back to the birth of Di...

It's not a bona-fide Digi Level 2 ep - not yet - but here's the first of our specials celebrating 30 years of Digi, featuring the brilliant Violet Berlin, and her box of retro gaming memorabilia.

Consequently... I doubt there'll be the ...

Quite what possesses a person to spend days making something that he knows will lose him subscribers, and will upset a large portion of our audience, is anyone's guess... but it's done now.

Hello, gang. I ran out of time this week, but I'd intended to give you a proper update for days now. Hopefully I will do so over the weekend, or early next week.
But just quickly... BYAMPOD is late, because we're going to be reviewing the h Natural Christmas show this weekend. Hopefully you...

Sorry this wasn't up sooner for you. But it's here now!
On a snowy Christmas quest, in sub-zero temperatures, to find Britain's best decorated homes, Sanja and I encounter the real Santa Claus, ask why these might be the worst Christmas lights ever, and argue about lamps. ...

There will be a Digi video this week (though it may not be Thursday), we're just a bit behind schedule due to Christmas reasons, losing Monday to a Cheapshow recording, and doing Digi Level 2 animations.

Hello, you lot. Here's half an hour of outtakes from the Worst Christmas Attractions ep.

This week, we're blowing off steam after a run of heavy episodes... by drinking (though there's some debate over who has drunk the most).
We also discuss Marillion's Half Empty/Full Jam, and whether it has a place on Happiness Is The Road Volume 1. We also read some of your letters. O...

Hello, you lot. Here's a video just for you lot (ignore the 20 seconds of nothing at the beginning).
This was meant to be a new Q&A video, but we ended up getting massively sidetracked, so we thought we'd just share it with the Upper Tiers.

In the first Digitiser Christmas Special of 2022, Sanja and I look at some of Britain's worst ever Christmas attractions - from freaky Santas and rude elves, to scary Scrooges and depressing grottos.

We come to the end of The Road (Volume 1) in this ep, but before we get onto Marillion.. we spend the first 20 minutes discussing some listener feedback, whether it's okay to joke about certain topics, and humour as a coping mechanism.

Hello, gang. So! This week, there'll be a BYAMPOD as usual, but we're not doing a full Digi. There'll be the next part of the Q&A at some point this week (and a BYAMPOD-only Q&A bonus episode), which just needs to be edited and uploaded, but Sanja and I needed a week to catch up on other ...

Brand new BYAMPOD!
There's something about Marillion's Happiness Is The Road which seems to bring out our reflective side, and in this episode we end up digging into the start of our own relationship, and how a relationship alone may not be enough to fill the hole in a person's heart. Also,...
