In between each of the award winning songs, you get to hear Cosmic Bos submission to the MMC for that month, which you can buy on CD from Bandcamp here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-1-2023-album

Also also, right at the end of the podcast we gave a cheeky extra GOLD Award to Hartshorn, Jackson, Jackson and Warren for the song 'Barbenheimer', as it was originally an MMC sub by Hartshorn that got bigged up into a HJJW track, so that Nick and Andy (the Jackson's) could get a Gold award too.
