Chapter 232. If you make it as far as the camel, you have done well.

I am not really sure how to describe this episode of TCD (...sorry, Lucy). If it helps to set the scene then you might want to consider the following;

  • I am/was in Montreal at the time of recording, and Ant was ensconced in his villains lair, in Heckmondwike.
  • The wi-fi was more than a bit iffy, in fact for the first five minutes so it was looking like a bit of a non-starter.
  • I hadn't put much thought into the rest of my week, and Ant hadn't really put much thought into anything other than questions about my week.

I guess what I am trying to say is that there are undoubtedly a couple of nuggets in #232, but you are going to have to go digging.

P.S Ant now informs me it was Skegness, rather than Scarborough. But it definitely was a thing in the 80's

P.P.S I did giggle a lot as I was editing it...

About the Podcast

The Corona Diaries
Steve Hogarth
Lead singer of Marillion, father, hippy, punk, soul singer, progressive rockstar (wtf!), defender of the faith, voice of reason in a world gone crazy...

...and now podcaster.

Join me as I talk about my life and what is rambling around in my head.

Along the way I will focus on some of the stories that have shaped my career and my life, as well as reading from my diaries and offering my take on the wider world.

Stay safe,

h

P.S I began this journey just as CoVid-19 took hold and changed our lives, possibly forever, so it seems apt to reference that in the naming of the podcast.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
