Description

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.
