The Smiths at Glastonbury, 1984 (and 2023?...)
Hello you rock and rollers! This episode is all about how The Smiths maybe, possibly (but I say YES) transformed Glastonbury from the hippie festival it was known as into the juggernaut we know it as today, even talking about the recent appearance at the festival by one Mr. Astley backed by Blossoms. In order to tackle this huge subject, we've invited renowned Rick Astley super-fan and biographer Elise Soutar (@smilesawakeu) onto the show. You may remember her from our episode on The Top of the Pops, so give her a big returning welcome round of applause, just as her hero (Rick Astley) would!

The History of "Hatful of Hollow"
Am I personally biased to loving this record? Yes. Hence why my guest for this episode is... well, me. This was the album that got me into the Smiths and I have an EP that just came out ("John Hughes Thoughts"), so I figured I'd run my mouth a little bit on here. Unfortunately, this episode has some issues with audio problems that persisted form last episode, so I apologize greatly for that and I am looking intently into preventing it from happening again. Regardless, I hope you enjoy!

New Listener Episode: The "Hatful" Singles
We bring Caleb back onto the show to introduce him to the next batch of singles and their respective b-sides. I also apologize for some of the audio issues with this one; it was my finals week, so I guess my computer didn't have all the processing power needed.

"The Smiths": A Discussion on The Smiths' Debut Album, "The Smiths"
The Smiths first LP. Is it over-rated, under-rated, or perfectly in the middle? Frankly, Mr. Shankly, we can't decide either, so we brought some help.vvWe welcome Austin Curtis (@bloodyawfulpoetry) of the band Don't Get Lemon onto the show for our longest episode yet, the perfect setting for our first foray into a full Smiths album.
