"Another upcoming episode guest stars Benedict Cumberbatch playing a parody of The Smiths’ lead vocalist Morrissey. Bret McKenzie (of Flight of the Conchords and The Muppets fame) wrote the music for this episode. Smith says the songs are incredible and Lisa has a couple of great lyrics."
does this mean Benedict will be signing?

Yes, he apparently recorded it during lockdown in New Zealand! (he is totally Isabelle Huppert in Call my Agent!). Yardley Smith says he "zoomed" from there to sing with her!
It sounds he isn't playing Morrissey himself but an original parody version of him: an aging musician from an 80s band. Funnily she refers to The Smith as both an emo and a grunge band! She also says she just loved him! BC not Morrissey. She clearly doesn't know exactly who Morrissey is!
EDITED I just realized that I misinterpreted her! She didn't zoomed with BC but with New Zealander Bret McKenzie! He wrote the songs! I still hope BC sings some lyrics, too!
Also I thought it was an old interview because the New Zealand comments but probably it's recent so who knows when they will air it. Maybe they are still working on it! The actual season apparently ends until Spring next year!

That's different! It might be worth watching the Simpsons just for this.

I used to be a huge Simpsons fan - from when it was occasional clips on the Tracey Ullman Show. I probably stopped watching it regularly about 10 years ago, when there were other shows I wanted to watch on Sunday nights. I still think it’s brilliant, though.
If Benedict’s recording was recent, his episode is probably still a year away. There are a couple of tv channels that show old Simpsons episodes almost all day long, so I usually check the tv listings to see if they’re showing the last episode Benedict did: S24E12.

She says she recorded the lyrics on past Thursday but I don't know when the podcast was done so it could be any past Thursday! I first thought it was an old interview because I wrongly thought she was saying it was BC who was in New Zealand!
She also says the episode is for this season but I checked and seasons are very long. The last one began in September 2019 and ended in May this year so probably this one is one of the last ones.
Also Olivia Coleman is indeed in this season but originally was announced in August 2019 for supposedly the 31th one; David Harbours who was in the first episode was announced at the end of last year. Cate Blanchett was also announced then and apparently there was some speculation that she will be in the final episode (maybe a mid-season final episode?). The last bunch of announced guests were in June and some of those actors episodes are already being airing. This podcast is the first time BC, Bret McKenziel, Stephen Fry and JJ Abrams are mentioned. I think!
EDITED Ok Cate Blanchett was in the final episode of the 31th one!. I haven't watched The Simpsons in ages! She was announced with the guest of the first episode of the 32th.
