This has been the standout podcast of 2025 for me. So good I had to go back to the beginning to listen to every singe one!
Mark is warm, intelligent and engaging as he discusses his career and his fellow musicians. The fact his daughter Tallulah is the co-host adds an interesting dynamic to the proceedings.
You will learn plenty about the music industry and the music and internal workings of Marillion. And, yes, Fish gets plenty of mentions!
Brilliantly honest and often hilarious - Mark, Tallulah, and those who were there provide a fascinating insight into the history of Marillion and Mark’s life.
