O wow o wow! It's been quite a long dark night without word from your favorite podcast, but never fear! You can jump for joy once more because the boys are back and ready to talk Cave.
It's been an exciting time between this episode and last, not least due to the release of the brand new Bad Seeds album Wild God! In a desperate attempt to stay relevant your gracious hosts have frog-hopped an album or two and cut straight to the end, so whether you're a long time fan or a brand new conversion to Cave or the pod, we've got something for ya.
Ending theme music includes Clap Along by Jason Shaw.

Things are really starting to heat up as the boys grab their proverbial toolboxes and stockings, hop in their proverbial Cadillac, and continue proverbially careening through Tender Prey. Next stop? Oh-oh, it's track number three: Deanna!

And just like that, it's all over. Another album down! Join the boys as they offer their thoughts on the album-wrapping Tim Rose cover Long Time Man and the marvellously petty B-side oddity Scum, then eulogize, and deliver their final verdicts, on Your Funeral... My Trial.
