Bonus Episode - 2020 Year End Review & 2021 Objectives
Bonus Episode – 2020 Year End Review and 2021 Objectives
The group takes some time to review our progress against our 2020 objectives. Obviously we, as with the rest of the world, were impacted by the global pandemic but overall we did well. Our accomplishment highlights include the live events with Total Mass Retain and the 100th episode and our impressive slate of interviews throughout the year. Moving forward into 2021 we have room for improvement with social media and giveaways. Here’s to a great New Year!

Episode 102 – Marillion Part 11, Fugazi (Again)
The Emperor’s New Groove – A few sidetracks can be expected as the group dives back into the second Marillion album. There is much to discover here as the band begins to refine their sound and skills and Fish’s lyrics continue to impress. A fun journey that we hope you all enjoy.

Episode 101 - Marillion Part 10, Script For A Jester's Tear (Again)
Episode 101 – Marillion Part 10, Script for a Jester’s Tear (Again)
The group returns to where we started. We go back to the beginning and start a redo of the Fish-era Marillion albums in current Palaver style. Using our current format we are able (and willing) to delve deeper into the context, lore and import of these songs than we did first time around. The feelings about this record are not unanimous in the group which leads to some fun discussion.

Episode 100 - Progressive Palaver Extravaganza
Episode 100 – Progressive Palaver Extravaganza
Prog, Not Prog - The group celebrates our 100th episode with our most indulgent palaver yet. The full palaver group each put forth an album that while spectacular would be unlikely to appear in a regular episode. The bands represented in this way are Judas Priest, Jeff Buckley, Catherine Wheel, Devin Townsend, The Grateful Dead and Rise Robots Rise. This is certainly an eclectic discussion. As a bonus, the end of the episode includes the audio portion of our live event from the end of Dec 2020 where we each provide our top five (plus one from the bottom) albums that we’ve already covered on the Palaver. There is a lot to digest here but well worth the time. We look forward to having you around for the next 100 episodes!

Bonus Episode - Palaver Holiday Music 2020
Bonus Episode – Palaver Holiday Music 2020
The group takes some time out of busy end-of-year schedules to share some thoughts about holiday music. Our picks run the gamut from Jon Anderson to Rob Halford and December People to Narada. There is something for everyone in this lighthearted chat about music that so many of us take for granted. Of course, there are the expected side trips that add some flavor to the soup. We wish you a happy holiday season in 2020. Cheers!
