Welcome to Tabletop Genesis, where you will know what it means to be a lamb lying down beyond the silver rainbow while Duke dances on a volcano. Actually it's just a few friends sitting around a table talking about their favorite band Genesis, but it promises to be as equally silly and surreal. Join your hosts Simon Godfrey, Stacy Godfrey, Mike Lord, Eli Noetinger, and Tom Roche as they wax poetic on everything Genesis - from the songs to the tours to the evolution of Mike Rutherford's facial hair.

    After an entire year of individual track reveals (and 21 years), Peter Gabriel’s i/o was finally released in December 2023.

A great fans’ podcast that needs just one addition.

I love this podcast. Now that the band is no more, it’s great to have Tabletop Genesis to help keep the flame burning…
…but it’d be wonderful if they got Stacey back full-time (pretty please).

Brilliant podcast!

Absolutely love it. Thank you all for making such a fantastic podcast, made with real love and thorough research. I’m a Phil-era Genesis fan, but TG is widening and deepening my love of the band as a whole. Thanks Mike and Tom, and the whole crew. Love the eps when everyone is there :) Love from Will in London UK

It’s more then alright Joe

I love the podcast, it’s entertaining, informative and a great listen. I’ve been a Genesis since the 1970s. My first live concert was on the Duke Tour 1980 and I’ve been lucky enough to see them many times since. The last time was Wembley 1987. Keep the pods coming !
