Ep 141: Mercury Prize 2024, Pt. 1 – Predictions, who we'd like to see on the list, and what it's like to be a Mercury judge

In two days time (25 July), the short list for the 2024 Mercury Prize will be announced. On this week's show, Stu and Greg discuss who they think will DEFINITELY be on the list, and who they hope will be.  Greg also spills the beans on what it's like to be on the Mercury Prize judging panel (something he's done 3 times), we ask how relevant the award is in the instant age of TikTok, and throw in some of all-time our favourite past winners.  Come back next week to see just how right we were about our nailed-on nominees.  You can watch clips of the podcast online now, just give us a follow on Instagram @midnightchatspod.
