Yes, I know. It feels like we only just released Episode 56. But don’t worry, you can still listen to that on all your favourite podcast apps.

Us Picky Bastards (joined this time by our editor James) have had to move on more quickly this time, though. Episode 57 is going to be another one of our special episodes looking at the Mercury Prize so we need to get it out quickly so you can hear our pointless opinions before the winner is announced.

Find out who we want to win, who we think will win, what we’ve enjoyed discovering, and which album would most upset us if it took the prize.

And if you’re not familiar with the shortlist yet, you can check it out below:
