This week we scale the north face of Chatmandu with pop journo HANNAH VERDIER and pop-obsessed illustrator NADIA SHIREEN, both veterans of the sainted Smash Hits Academy of Excellence. What does our panel make of the return of ALAN PARTRIDGE, and will it make Andrew dial down his Piers Morganisms on the Bigmouth settee?

Also: Can SLEAFORD MODS come to terms with the Big Time i.e. having a house with more than one bedroom? We delve into new album ‘Eton Alive’. And we missed the groundbreaking “woke horror” movie GET OUT when it first appeared, but it’s now on Netflix so that’s a good excuse to talk about it.

And it’s farewell to episode numbers in the show title because Apple Podcasts have decided they don’t like them. What are you going to do, eh?

Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison and Siân Pattenden (pictured above). Studio production by Sophie Black. Bigmouth is a Podmasters production.
