Picky Bastards Episode 103

Welcome to Episode 103 of the miserable music podcast: also known as the longest episode ever (maybe, I haven't checked), or the Episode we discuss the death of the Mercury Prize, or if you have different taste in music, the episode we discuss the best Mercury Prize shortlist of all time. Either way, it's our Mercury Prize special for 2026. Listening will tell you so many things that will improve your life, like: who we want to win, who we think will win, what did we discover, which winner would upset us the most, and whether or not orange exists. Regular hosts Matt and Fran are joined by recent regular host Sam Atkins and never regular, but always great, host Fat Roland. If you enjoy this, please subscribe to the podcast, give us a nice review or some stars (preferably 5) on your podcast app/streaming platform, and come and find us on Instagram @thepickybastards. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
