In this week’s episode, Mark and Tallulah reflect on the writing of Marillion’s second album in Wales, and the pressure of creating new material on a tight deadline. They talk through the challenges that came with that process, both creatively and personally.

They also look back on the band’s first U.S. tour - Mark’s first time traveling abroad - including early encounters with American food, the potency of Long Island Iced Teas, and the start of drummer Andy’s fast decline.
