OK Stephen (Street), shall we do that again?
Chris and George are joined by Stephen Street, the producer and songwriter who was crucial in launching Morrissey's solo career and worked very closely with The Smiths. He first met Moz and Marr in 1984, witnessed the fallout of the band post-breakup and is the Stephen from "OK Stephen, shall we do that again?" We chat about all of that and more in this episode. Nanny Val comes into the studio in person to react to I Thought You Were Dead, there's the ten-question trivia quiz and the boys analyse the lyrics of The Night Pop Dropped. Plus some "if you love Morrissey then you'll love this" recommendations. You might notice that our podcast has had a bit of a facelift. We're in a proper studio this time so we highly recommend you watch the video version on Spotify or YouTube. But the audio will sound great too. Big thanks to Gary at Red Eye studios.

Boz, Morrissey's right-hand man, shares a drink with the boys
Morrissey's right-hand man for three decades, Boz Boorer, shares a drink with Chris and George. He discusses the media's "abysmal" treatment of Moz, opens up about the songwriting process and reminisces about his on-stage drag persona, Gaynor Tension, all while enjoying a lovely Portuguese beer. The ten-question trivia quiz returns (with top-notch sound effects), Nanny Val reacts to 'Spent The Day in Bed' and we dissect the lyrics of three songs that Boz has played a big part in. Plus plenty more. If you enjoy this episode, please consider buying us a coffee with a donation of £5. Want to get in touch? Email [email protected].

"Morrissey was my friend. A 'nice' guy? No. He was more than that"
A big coup for Chris and George as they interview an old friend of Morrissey's about what it was like to know him as a mate. Moz also covered one of his songs which was a huge compliment. Nanny Val returns to react to a song. This time it's 'Let Me Kiss You'. She's becoming quite a fan. The quiz returns to sort the die-hard obsessives from the fair-weather apostles. Can you beat George's score? It might not be too hard. We dissect the meanings of three Morrissey tracks: Maladjusted, All The Lazy Dykes and A Swallow On My Neck. There's also plenty of news from the world of Morrissey and The Smiths. Plus copious amounts of wine. Want to get in touch? Send an email to [email protected]. We'll read it when we've recovered from our hangovers.
