Chapter 243. The great vinegar paradox
I happened to listen to the opening credits today, and this week's chapter is certainly a bit random, and a bit irreverent.What it really needs to accompany it is one of those maps that you get on travel programs, that indicate the route taken as the story unfolds. You know the kind of thing I mean, I have the one from Antiques Road Trip in mind but numerous other examples are available.You start with a static visual of the area in question (in our case North Yorkshire and the East Coast) and then...

Up High: How Rope Access Protects Historic Buildings – Talking Conservation with Steve Hogarth
In this follow-up episode of Talking Conservation, we’re back with Steve Hogarth – SPAB Fellow, heritage mason, and rope access conservator with Highlife Rope Access – to dive deeper into how conservation really happens at height.From blocked gutters and cracked coping stones to wildlife nests and fragile leadwork, Steve shares what really goes on when you're dangling from ropes on cathedrals, castles, and churches – and why rope access can offer major advantages over traditional scaffolding.We explore:• What rope access actually is and when it’s used• Real-world examples of unexpected issues found at height• Why hands-on surveys can reveal more than...

Chapter 139. That space between a Camel's humps.
If memory serves, we haven't ever recorded an episode of The Corona Diaries between Christmas & New Year. Obviously I haven't gone to the trouble of actually checking that fact, I am relying purely on gut instinct and the lingering after-taste of industrial-strength descaler.Of course the beauty of this period of the year is that it's a bit like the twilight-zone, with nobody really quite sure why everything feels just a little bit off-kilter. You know the kind of thing I am talking about, when a Wednesday feels like a Sunday and nobody bats an...

Chapter 138. If you steer clear of the vicar, I'll jingle me testicles for you.
For this years Christmas special episode we decided to unburden ourselves from the shackles of pre-episode preparation and exacting production standards and show our rarely-seen playful side.And what better way to get the party started, than by welcoming Linette to TCD - even if that did mean distracting her with a glass of Kylie's Prosecco, whilst simultaneously placing a microphone into her other hand.And you know what?! She is a natural. From air fryers to elderflowers, Welsh footballers to high court judges, it's a freewheeling festive romp through the carefree joys of living...

Chapter 136. I'll see if I can detune my organ.
Listening back to Chapter 136 of TCD (sorry Lucy) it struck me that maybe a few explainers were in order. Now that isn't because I think that any of you are anything other than fully-rounded citizens of the world, broad of knowledge and generous of spirit. Rather that there are a few references this week that may only resonate with a person of a certain time, from a certain place.So here we go...Ski Sunday - a popular Sunday night UK TV program from the late seventies.

Chapter 135. Four Million Chord Changes to Warsaw
Well we tried...Ant had a look under his bed, but couldn't find any mention of Less Is More in the back copies of The Web magazine he's been hoarding. And as promised I gave the album a listen through...but alas, it didn't provide the aural kick to my synapses that I had hoped.Of course we are nothing if not a pair of old pro's, and so when the red light went on we gave it our best shot anyway (even if there was some unabashed padding at the beginning).

After all the excitement of bus drivers and percussionists, long haired sound men and keyboardists this feels like a very run of the mill chapter of TCD (sorry Lucy).So for 134 Ant and I pick up on our semi-regular album chat feature, and for those of you who have been paying attention that means Less is More. Of course in our case it's a little bit more Less is Less as there is, at this point, a need for some serious listening and memory-jogging. We will return to it next week having done our revision....

For those of us that lived through his achievements in real time, it's easy to close my eyes and be taken right back to the moment when Seb Coe lined up in the final of the 1500m at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.Middle-distance running took on almost rock'n'roll stature at the time in Britain, as Steve Ovett, Steve Cram & Seb Coe dominated both the centre piece events of 800 & 1500 breaking world records at every turn.We all got up in the middle of the night to watch that final, and be exhilarated by that truly...

Chapter 131. Smoking a spliff round at Vlads place.
Recording The Corona Diaries on the road is a little challenging to say the least. You are always at the mercy of the local wi-fi connection, the rooms are often a bit lively (from an audio perspective, obvs...) and I am constantly a bit tight on time.There is however one definite up side, and that is the fact that a ton of interesting, funny and genuinely lovely people are also in close proximity.Which means for the third episode on the spin I have managed to cajole another one back to my room with...

Chapter 124. Turns out Lord B had it wrong all along.
If you are a regular then you will have heard me mention Lord B. He was the press guy who used to make the special rabbit drawings in an attempt to get me to stop rambling in interviews.It dawned on me whilst we were recording 124 that, in fact, he had got it all wrong.Take the chapter you are about to listen to. The idea was to continue discussing the Dry Land album. We had covered the first four tracks last week, so in theory we should comfortably have got through the remaining six.

If you go all the way back to the beginning, way before it was called The Corona Diaries (or even TCD for that matter) one of the first things that Ant and I talked about was incorporating a reading from my diary into every episode.Not only did we think it would give some structure, but it would provide the opportunity for me to expand on the entries and answer any follow-ups that Ant thought might be interesting for you, dear listener.Clearly we have evolved since then, as the tap-room banter and general ill-preparedness...

Chapter 97. An Hour Before It's Dark Q&A LIVE (Part One)
Well that was a jolly good way to spend an evening.A couple of weeks ago, in one of our infamous TCD production meetings, Ant & I were discussing how we could do something a bit different to mark the release of the new album.After a bit of riffing, we came up the idea of asking people to fire in a question or two at the point when then had listened to AHBID for the first time. A kind of 'shoot from the hip', 'gut reaction' kind of a question.So we put...

Episode 14 – Steve Hogarth
Steve Hogarth is the lead singer of British rock band Marillion. Despite selling over 15 million albums since forming way back in the early 80’s, they will likely be best remembered for one decision the band made in 1997. Short of money and wanting to embark on a North American Tour, the band turned to their loyal fans to fund their trip, raising the £39,000 required, and unintentionally becoming the pioneers of what we know today as crowdfunding.
