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.

Customer Reviews
So enjoyable
New to this show, but what a treat to hear thoughtful conversation around this music and these artists. A fun show and so grateful for it… I always feel I am in dialogue with the hosts and guests, my opinions and ideas bouncing off of theirs as I listen, which inspires me to feel part of a community of engaged music-lovers, inspired by the classics and grappling with the new in the historic context. Keep ‘em coming!
Amazing
Incredible podcast discussion about the best music ever. Thanks so much and keep them coming!
How I learned that Phil Collins-era Genesis is cool.
Before my exposure to Tabletop Genesis, I had never really investigated any post-Gabriel output, assuming from years of radio-friendly pop songs that there was little else, and that Peter took all of the good stuff with him. Through listening to many backlog episodes and then camping out with each episode’s feature, I have a newfound appreciation for the post-Gabriel/Hackett Genesis, and I am grateful.
