Ant keeps banging on about Ice Cream Genius.Now don't get me wrong I am more than happy to bang on about it as well, the only slight challenge is that ICG is 23 years old and tbh the ol' instant recall isn't what it once was.But, as seems to be the case when we record this podcast, it all came flooding back - so prepare yourself for the backstory to the making of the album - the genesis of genius, if you will.On top of that we have more recollections of the Holidays in Eden tour in the diary

Chapter 7. Better Dreams?

The Corona Diaries ·

2020/06/08

It's funny how fate plays it's hand...Ant wanted to ask about the story behind the song Better Dreams, because it turns out we both have a complicated love-hate relationship with Los Angeles.A few days later and our screens are alive with images from the U.S, encapsulating some of the themes I touch upon in that lyric. My friend Giorgio txted me from LA in the middle of the night. Two words (no full stop): "I'm terrified"I suggested he should move to Europe.Stay safe,hRequiem For A Soldier

Chapter 6. Gear and serial killers.

Monday morning 9:22am.Ant and I are looking on, bleary-eyed, caffeine-lite, and at opposite ends of a zoom call. We are discussing the plan for this episode and Ant has just said, that after listening to Chapter 5, his wife (Ali) didn't seem to think I had much luck with musical equipment.'So, shall we pick-up the Europeans story, just after the electricity was cut off and all your gear got stuck in the basement of that rehearsal studio''We can do, but if we are going to talk about the Europeans,

2020/05/18

We recorded this week's episode the day after my birthday, so can you guess what was the first thing Ant wanted to talk about?..Lemon drizzle mmm... But then we got onto discussing the legend that is Trevor Horn, how our paths have crossed over the years and the creative fallout that has ensued. I've included a link to the album we discussed below.The diary section this week is a positive smorgasbord of home-plumbing, name-dropping, bad vasectomy jokes and me feeling terrible after ranting at Steve

Chapter 3. The Worlds Greatest Case-Study

The Corona Diaries ·

2020/05/11

It's quite apt (bearing in mind the name of the podcast) that this episode is the first one we have recorded under lockdown conditions.And after a few technical issues, you know the kind of thing - zoom settings, microphone positioning, headphone monitoring, putting my tooth in, it all went rather well.It's a little hard to describe Chapter Three in just a few words as we managed to distract ourselves quite a bit whilst we were talking. So although it might meander (and I can't guarantee I answered

Chapter 2. Proper Prog Credentials

The Corona Diaries ·

2020/05/04

Whilst chatting off mic during the recording of Chapter 1, Ant was a little taken aback when I began talking about the the bands I had been into in my formative years.He had assumed, and I can kind of see why, that I had always been a bit of a popster in my youth. So we decided it would make an interesting place to start a gentle ramble through my musical influences.After that I read a little more for the diary. Iceland, London, Wales & Poland (in a matter of days!) and a heady mix of mid-air

Chapter 1. This Strange Podcast

The Corona Diaries ·

2020/04/27

Well it's the first episode proper and why not start by joining the dots to the lyric from This Strange Engine.I have talked about this occasionally at some of the H Natural shows and Ant (producer & question asker) had remembered one such occurrence. So we considered it, for about the length of time it took the kettle to boil, and decided it would be an interesting place to start.Following on from that, I have the first few chapters from the published diaries for you. Today I am reading from

The Prologue

"Whats that you say.....a Steve Hogarth podcast?!"As you will hear, I have shied away from things like this in the past, mainly because I was concerned I wouldn't be able to commit the time and ensure it turned out as well as it could.But then I was chatting to a friend who suggested a podcast (he's called Ant, and he has just started a business producing podcasts...). So, just for a lark, we decided to record a test-episode and it all turned out pretty well.I had the idea that as part of the
