We've reached double digits! As we progress in our journey through the Smiths career, we need to pay mention to one of the most influential figures in the progress of their journey, BBC 1's John Peel. For this episode, we have returning guest Ethan Seegmiller (@erseegmiller) on for an episode nearly three times as long as I'd told him he'd be on... Whoops...

Bigmouth strikes again! This episode is focused on the troubled relationship Morrissey has had with the press over the years and how that dynamic has changed over the history of The Smiths. To help us tackle (and we do mean tackle) this subject, we have our very first returning guest, Elena (@_elenazambrano_ ), who previously appeared in episode 2 of the show. For more from Elena, Instagram's the place!

It was their first album before their debut, and no, we aren't talking about Bjork. This is a look into The Smiths' recordings with artist and producer Troy Tate, the history behind them, and what legacy they leave today. To talk about this, we have artist and producer Brady Hoggard of @edison_recording_studio joining on the show!

This week in the realm of The Smiths, we are joined by Alyssa Robertson (@alyssamiarobertson) to talk about the Smiths' debut single and how the band turned the single into an artform in and of itself. We also talk a little bit about her recent return from a European tour with the band Bittersweethearts, the likelihood of Suede and MSP ever coming back to the States, and Shelagh Delaney.
