Description

Having to make do with Zoom again, the boys take an extensive look at 2020's Mercury Prize. As Britain's most prestigious awards ceremony, Bain, Al and Callum take some time to explain what makes it so special: the judging panel, previous winners and the cultural impact it has on artists. Then they go deep into the class of 2020 - analysing all 12 of this year's shortlisted albums and arguing their favourites. 
In the episode Spotify playlist, the boys have to play by the Mercury rules. Each host had to pick 3 songs that have been nominated for the Mercury's since it's inception in 1992 and one of those choices must be from the 2020 shortlist. In tribute to this year's winner, Michael Kiwanuka, there is a bonus 10th song on the playlist that acts as a unanimous choice.
