    'I did a Ouija board with Morrissey while we made Bona Drag'

    Andrew Paresi, a familiar voice to Radio 4 listeners and the primary drummer for Bona Drag, joins us once again to dive into that fan-favourite compilation album. They had a private chef, a tennis court and a swimming pool - no wonder it's such a good record. We hear all about that and more. Nanny Val returns to the studio to react to a Morrissey track for the first time, as suggested by our Patreon members. This time it's 'What Kind of People Live in These Houses? George questions Chris in the ten-question trivia quiz, and he does rather well. Don't forget you can watch us on YouTube for the full video show, which will be online around six hours after the audio-only version. If you like what we do, there's a good way to support us while also joining a thriving community of fans. Our Patreon costs around £5 per month and gives you access to the members-only WhatsApp chat, our archive of full-length interviews and bonus monthly episodes. This show is produced by Gary at Red Eye. It takes a lot of skill to look this podcasty. Thanks, Gary.

    First reaction to new Morrissey album 'Make-up Is A Lie' (bonus episode)

    Super-fan Chris and newspaper journalist George give you their first reaction to the new Morrissey album 'Make-up Is A Lie'. It seems this is an album of "part twos" to much-loved songs from the back catalogue, with many tracks offering returns to some of Morrissey's central themes. Alcohol features prominently, particularly booze to excess. And the layered lyrics are a gift to fans like us, with so much to analyse. Grab a glass of wine and join us to discuss all this and more. This is an audio-only, makeshift bonus episode, but we'll be back in a week or two with a full, professional video episode, when we'll be doing a deep dive into Bona Drag - and we're joined by someone who was there in the studio creating it with Morrissey. Find us on YouTube for our past shows, where we've interviewed key figures including Stephen Street, Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer. Join us on Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes, access to the members-only WhatsApp chat, yearly deliveries of hand-made pin badges and a fair bit more. It doesn't cost a lot but it really helps us to keep the show going. Godspeed!

    First reaction to new single 'Notre-Dame' from Morrissey's 'Make-up Is a Lie' (bonus episode)

    It's a happy day - there's new Morrissey music. Chris and George bring you their first reaction to the new single 'Notre-Dame' from the forthcoming album 'Make-up Is a Lie'. Did the conspiratorial angle make us think? Did you notice that the "terrorism" line is missing? And does it make you miss Alain Whyte from the band?

    First reaction to new Morrissey single 'Make-up is a Lie' (bonus episode)

    Morrissey's new single is already available in Australia, though it has a January 9 release date, so Chris and George are bringing you their first reaction to the track 'Make-up is a Lie' in this audio-only bonus episode. What was the "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" all about? Is it the story of an ageing and beautiful Parisian poet? Is the choice to release this as the first single an example of classic Moz self-sabotage? Grab a glass of wine and join us.

    What are Fox News insiders saying about Morrissey as he gains fans on the right wing?

    As Morrissey gains political currency on the right wing, US journalist David Marcus tells us what Fox News insiders are saying about the singer, the conundrum of defining him politically, and why media treatment is not supposed to be fair. Nanny Val joins us for some festive mulled wine to discuss the song 'Sing Your Life', Chris and George analyse the lyrics of 'Late Night, Maudlin Street', and there's a special Christmas edition of the ten-question trivia quiz. You can watch a full video version on YouTube or Spotify. That way you can see our lovely Christmas decorations.

    Morrissey vs The Cure - What's the truth behind this age-old rivalry?

    It's one of the most famous pop rivalries of the 1980s. But was it just media hype or a genuine dislike? We talk to Gavin from 'The Holy Hour - All Cure Podcast' to get to the bottom of it. George's grandma Nanny Val reacts to a Morrissey song chosen by our Patreon subscribers. We do the ten-question trivia quiz and we have some recommendations - "if you love Morrissey then you'll love this". And we analyse the lyrics of 'You Know I Couldn't Last'. Join us on Patreon for bonus monthly episodes, access to the members-only WhatsApp chat, to choose Nanny Val's next song and more. This podcast was produced by Gary at Red Eye.

    Writer on big TV show talks the role of humour in Morrissey's work

    Matt Koff, an American TV writer and stand-up comedian, joins Chris and George to talk about the role of humour in Morrissey's work. He writes for The Daily Show, a big show in the US that has some similarities with Have I Got News For You in the UK. But he's also a big Smiths and Morrissey fan. Is there something inherently funny about Morrissey's high-drama perspective on the world? And in what ways do Trump and Moz share similarities? As usual, Nanny Val reacts to a track, there's the trivia quiz, we dig into the lyrics of a song and we bring you some "if you love Morrissey then you'll love this" recommendations. ⁠Join us on Patreon⁠ for bonus monthly episodes, full-length interviews (Matt's runs to 40 minutes), access to the members-only WhatsApp chat and more. You'll also get access to full-length archive interviews with people such as Stephen Street and Alain Whyte. This podcast was produced by ⁠Gary at Red Eye⁠. This episode was briefly removed from podcast services due to a potential copyright issue. It was originally published on October 31, 2025, and re-uploaded on November 5, 2025.
