Nemone chats to Elizabeth Alker about new BBC podcast series The Rise & Fall of The Smiths, which Elizabeth co-hosts with Steve Lamacq. The podcast tells the story of the band's remarkable ascent and dramatic collapse in their own words through four decades of BBC material, including rare and previously unheard recordings of interviews with the four bandmembers and key figures in their history.

Plus, Nemone brings you the Cloudbusting mix - an hour of uplifting tunes to boost your mood and banish the grey skies.
