We have a special a competition for you to win all of the shortlisted album, plus DiS chats to two Mercury Prize judges in episode five of our podcast.

This Friday will see one of the biggest nights in UK and Irish music returns to the BBC. The Mercury Prize 2015 has some incredible shortlisted albums and the overall winner of the 2015 Mercury Prize in association with BBC Music will be announced on BBC Four and BBC Radio 6 Music on Friday 20 November. The BBC Four coverage begins at 9.30pm.

Ahead of the awards, DiS' podcast had a 45 minute chat with two of the Mercury judges. Radio X's John Kennedy and Arts editor of the New Statesman Kate Mossman (who you may also recognise from her recent shows on BBC Four) joined myself and Drowned in Sound Review Show co-host Danielle Perry for a chat about the judging process, the shortlisted albums and we posed the question: what makes a truly great album? If you're not already subscribed to our podcast, you'll find all of the relevant links to do here.
