  • Great Podcast that no longer plays or downloads

    I really love Tabletop Genesis. I just wish someone could look into why it’s not working properly anymore. Even the website is malfunctioning. Please. Please fix it!!!

  • A great fans’ podcast that needs just one addition.

    I love this podcast. Now that the band is no more, it’s great to have Tabletop Genesis to help keep the flame burning…

    …but it’d be wonderful if they got Stacey back full-time (pretty please).

  • So enjoyable

    New to this show, but what a treat to hear thoughtful conversation around this music and these artists. A fun show and so grateful for it… I always feel I am in dialogue with the hosts and guests, my opinions and ideas bouncing off of theirs as I listen, which inspires me to feel part of a community of engaged music-lovers, inspired by the classics and grappling with the new in the historic context. Keep ‘em coming!

  • Brilliant podcast!

    Absolutely love it. Thank you all for making such a fantastic podcast, made with real love and thorough research. I’m a Phil-era Genesis fan, but TG is widening and deepening my love of the band as a whole. Thanks Mike and Tom, and the whole crew. Love the eps when everyone is there :) Love from Will in London UK

  • Me, me, me!!!

    Just about got through the first chosen episode (Selling England..). A few insights but basically a bunch of self-obsessed bores talking about themselves. Podcasts should be about the ‘thing’ and not about the people. And this fails. ‘Is that a flute!’ ‘The lyrics on Firth of Fifth are meh because there’re not a conversation’ etc. The British contributor is better and in the vein of other podcasters, like, Rockonteurs.
