The big Alain Whyte interview, from crippling stage fright to always defending Morrissey

In this bonus episode we bring you a 45-minute interview with Alain Whyte, Morrissey's most prolific songwriter and a musician who many consider to be the "secret ingredient" in much of Moz's success.

We also touch upon 'The Monsters of Pig Alley', the magic behind Morrissey's 2004 comeback, Alain's reasons for leaving the band in the 2000s, and why he would love to work with Moz again.

If you prefer the written word, head over to our Substack for a long-read feature based on this interview. We hope you enjoy this chat over a nice glass of wine. Long live Morrissey, and Godspeed.
