Not since Donda landed has an album release given Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick cause to completely clear the podcast decks and make it the primary focus of an episode… after we take a few moments to get on the phone with Keith Duffy, naturally.

Kendrick Lamar is back and there’s a lot to unpack. 

Once you’ve immersed yourself in the main show critique and controversy, head on over to patreon.com/noencore if you'd like some bonus content.

ACT ONE: Harry Styles has a new accent. Is that news? No, it’s something much more important.

ACT TWO (7:29): Breaking Ivor Novello updates, a tribute to the legendary Vangelis, a visit to The Sergery and Keith Duffy lamenting his lost love: Ireland itself. Yes, it’s the news.

ACT THREE (35:03): We’ve had seven days to digest Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. It hasn’t been enough. But, as ever, we’ve got plenty to say. Work through it with us, won’t you?
