"Yesterday When I Was Mad" is my favourite song on "Very" by some distance (though the single version was a botched job).

Enjoyed the podcast a lot, thanks!
You asked for suggestions: personally my favourite format for a podcast is where the presenters go through a body of work in chronological order, book by book, episode by episode, film by film, or as it would be in this case, album by album.

I like most of the OP's list

My list:
"The Truck Driver and his Mate"

All of Release except "Home and Dry", "Samurai", Here" and "You Choose"
"Together"
"Winner"
"Breathing Space"
"Happiness"
"Dreamland"

I think Erasure did this ( Pop! / Total Pop! ). I'm sure there are other examples but I can't think of them ...

"Happy people" is the stand out track of this era for me, that I keep going back to.

Everything they have said about the tour is contradictory.

They say they have never done a "Greatest Hits" tour. That is only true if you a purist about the term, i.e. only the actual greatest hits, no exceptions, no promoting non-hits from the latest album. But they have said there WILL be ...
