Is the new Arctic Monkeys album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino a return to form? Does Patrick Melrose just need a nice cup of tea and a lie down? We've also read Viv Albertine's To Throw Away Unopened and will be ruminating on New Moral Arbitraters Spotify, who've "banned" R Kelly. Special guests Sylvia Patterson and Sophie Black tell it like it is.

Presented by Siân Pattenden. Studio production by Sophie Black. Bigmouth is a Podmasters production.
