Either way, it&#39;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. </p><p><br></p><p>Regular hosts Matt and Fran are joined by recent regular host Sam Atkins and never regular, but always great, host Fat Roland. </p><p><br></p><p>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. </p>","author_name":"Sam Atkins, Fran Slater, Matt Paul"}
