The Corona Diaries

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.Copyright 2026 Steve Hogarth Music

  • Chapter 261. I merely popped out for a sandwich
    Jun 1 2026

    The first question that most people ask when I reveal I have recorded nearly 500 episodes of this podcast is "surely you must have run out of things to talk about by now?" Well this week's TCD (...sorry Lucy) is a perfect example of how we have got to 261 chapters and a similar number of bonus episodes.

    Firstly we can get half a podcast out of literally anything, the example for today is me making a decision to nip out for some lunch.

    Secondly because we can't actually deliver what we plan for any episode whatsoever within the allowed time slot, we are invariably finishing off the thing that we didn't finish last time. So again, using today as the example, we have a crack at the few questions that we didn't get to in the last Purple Q&A episode, because last time out we were too busy banging on about something else - not that I can remember what that was.

    Anyway thanks to Kenton, Mike and Wendy for putting forward your questions.

    Love'n'crabs

  • Chapter 260. I scream pre-order
    May 14 2026

    Now you might be wondering why this chapter of TCD (...sorry Lucy) has turned up a little bit early, because let's be honest we don't have a reputation for being this on the ball.

    It kind of revolves around my birthday (today), the fact it is a significant one (three score and ten) and the upcoming special edition releases of Ice Cream Genius.

    And that is all I am going to say at this point in proceedings, to find out the rest you are just going to have to listen to the episode.

    Right, I am off to kick-start with a special-day-sized Muff Liquor Gin...

  • Chapter 259. Egg-Fifteen
    May 4 2026

    In a change to the normal way of working it is Ant here, providing you with the episode notes for the latest chapter of TCD (...sorry Lucy).

    What that does mean is I can take this opportunity to put the podcast title into some form of context, and offer up a grovelling apology to my co-host.

    Through the course of the pod you are going to get an explanation as to the specifics, but the fact is I was more than a little dubious of the explanation I was provided with, at the point that it was uttered. Now, in my defence Mr h. does have previous in terms of the accuracy of some of his assertions, indeed it's a theme that we pick up on in this very chat. But in the case of the Eggy explanation he was absolutely bang-on, and credit where credit is due, I am happy to attest to the error of my ways.

    Anyway, that's it from me, I hope you enjoy the next fifty minutes or so.
