I’ve listened to Ant and H doing this podcast since the beginning. It’s brilliant listening to the diaries and stories behind the music of Marillion . The guests they get in too also are brilliant. Charlie the bus driver was a classic need to get him back on Ant and H let the banter flow between...Read full review »

Steve and Ant are the perfect remedy for the stressful commute! Silly enough to entertain with just the perfect sprinkling of information to make me a hit around the water cooler.

Wow, used to love this podcast but over the past few months has just become an advert for political champagne socialism and lefty clapping

While Mr. h looks quite serious (even border line mad) this pod cast is genius ! Ant has a way of asking questions that I am thinking of.. and h’s answers are honest and light hearted. I feel like I am at the kitchen table with them giggling into my lemon tea. It has been a godsend during this...Read full review »

Whenever I need a relax - I listen to you two - pure gold! Thing is - as soon as it gets to the diary- I fall asleep!! Takes me a couple of listens to get to the end. Not because it’s boring, I hasten to add but I think I am programmed to sleep after all those bedtime stories as a child- who’d...Read full review »

Humorous, fascinating, revealing insight into the memoirs and current goings on in the life of Mr H. The rapport between Ant and Steve makes this such an easy listen. Look forward to every episode.

A fabulously warm and friendly podcast. Steve has a seemingly endless supply of anecdotes from his life as a recording and touring musician. Interviewer / co-host, Ant, complements very nicely and keeps things moving along. Subscribe! You won't regret it.Read full review »

I only knew about „Lavender“ and „Kayleigh“ - I know I know, boooring - and back then always thought: Oh that Fish just wants to be Gabriel! Years later I read a review about „brave“, liked the review, went and bought it and stuck with them ever since. I loved H. before this show and love him...Read full review »

I came across ‘The Corona Diaries’ one morning. I was too tired to make breakfast - I was up all night waiting for a friend who let me down, you see - so I mooched around the internet and found this gem. The banter is excellent. Intelligent, humorous, and insightful. If you are a Marillion fan...Read full review »

A funny, irreverent, thought provoking, honest & soul searching podcast that wears it’s heart firmly on its sleeve. It delivers a vast insight into the world of Steve Hogarth and often lifts the curtain on life within Marillion both on stage and backstage. It rocks and rolls as it ducks and...Read full review »

The candour, the humour and the sheer joy of sharing time with one of your heroes - Steve Hogarth from Marillion (probably) the best band in the world.

A genuinely entertaining podcast spent in the relaxed company of one of our most revered singers recounting tall tales of life on the professional musical road. Occasionally side splittingly funny and always a joy to listen to.

Steve h says the sausage rolls are coming... Intrigued? You need to listen to this fascinating, irreverent and highly amusing podcast detailing the day to day life of the much loved singer in the “best known secret” cult UK band Marillion.
beagleybeag via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/17/20
I look forward to these episodes. Never a dull moment. Plenty of giggles and schoolboy humour to make me smile. Steve H relates great stories and characters from his career. Plus the promise of a raffle at the end of the show 😉. But don’t mention the tooth!
Roochmail via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/17/20
The Corona Diaries is a fascinating look inside the mind of Marillion vocalist Steve Hogarth, who welcomes listeners into his home by sharing his thoughts and diary entries. Terribly funny, but also very rewarding for fans of rock and progressive music.
