Welcome back to The Giddy Carousel of Pop, a podcast about the Britain's brightest pop mag, Smash Hits.

In this episode we go back to August 1982 with Gav's old school mate Sue Humphreys. The cover star is John Taylor, and inside the mag are features on Duran Duran, The Stranglers and Sting, with the usual Bitz, RSVP, singles reviews and lyrics.

Read along with us.
