The scaffold

Collings & Herrin Podcast 10 is done. This makes up for no podcast on Friday. There will be another one this Friday, so you'll have to listen to it straight away. Richard was having scaffolding put up all around his one-man West London mansion while we recorded it this afternoon, which was exciting. A single metal pole appeared outside of his attic window as we were finishing up. We listened to our arch-rivals Adam & Joe's podcast (the 6 Music one), while we were waiting for ours to upload, and they are much better-spoken than us, and they have jingles and everything, but then again, they are supported by your licence fee payments. We are not. (We decided to take a moody picture of ourselves this week, because the light was moody. No other reason. Try not to read anything into this.)

The Ann Summers podcast (which I presume is new), has overtaken you in the iTunes charts.

I'm not sure if that's better or worse than being behind the Nuts podcast?

(I wonder if this has been discussed in podcast 10)

Herring looks like he's auditioning for a boy band. Collins looks like he's plotting 'a job'. An East End job which will involve heavy boots and rivers. There's some material in there somewhere...

I genuinely watched Citizen Kane for the first time today.
I don't know what this means but either Herrin or Collings is a visionary... or maybe I'm a visionary... I'm not sure yet, we'll see...

Here is the description of Waitrose Wholesome range. No real explanation for the numbering system. I can't see any mention of the gluten content.
----------

Ah - but Adam and Joe's jingles are homemade using the wonderful and free Garageband, which you both have on your Macs. As well you know, because you record your podcast on it. Why not do a few jingles of your own - up the ante?

I should imagine that A&J also get loads of mail moaning about the sound quality of the podcast. Not because it's in any way bad, but because that seems to be what you have to do when you listen to a podcast.

A&J's podcast just went from mono to stereo, so I suspect no complaints about sound quality.

I'm sorry, but with this archive shot of Mark Steel and Richard Herring you're not fooling anybody.

Well, there you go Andrew. If the Big British Castle has only just got it arse into gear to make the A&J podcast stereo then I think you've got some 'learning time' due to you.

I predict that in another ten podcasts you'll both be jingling all over the place.

That sounds like it might be an innuendo (in-your-end-o) but I don't think it is.

Looking forward to walking to work today (yes, I am a bit late) and listening to this week's.

And I know he isn't and he hasn't, but in the photo Rich looks very like he is bald on top and has grown a luxuriant combover to sweep across it. And he's hiding the bald bit that still shows through at the back.

Cheg on, baldy.

There's more than a touch of David Gedge about you in that photo, Andrew. A homage, perhaps?

I think some jingles on the podcast would be a lovely idea.

Charley Boorman and Quentin Tarantino about to reject Ewan McGregor, despite his eagerness to go full frontal, for the lead in the Uma Thurman Story...

Not moody enough! (Can you do links in the blogger? It'll look foolish if I can't)

Click for modier

It just occurred to me that Richard Herring was most likely booked to play the jewellers gig on the basis of his name - Rich. If someone is vulgar enough to not only have special earrings made up pointing out their wealth then I wouldn't put it past them.

I haven't listened to the podcast yet so I can't comment on that (I have it waiting for me, though - thanks, Mr iTunes). I am here only to comment on the sexiness of that picture. You two should make a calendar to promote your podcast. I'd buy it. Sorry, I am a pervert. I will leave now.

Thanks for the moody pic, Clive. We are actually in the process of booking ourselves up with a photographer who's very kindly offered to shoot us looking cool for use with the podcast, of which he is a fan. What a shame Anna Summers has turned up to ruin our rise to iTunes glory.

All I can say is 'phwoar', actually.

you do look rather sinister in clivec's version, but only in a moody and cool way. I'd buy a calendar too :-)

Definitely Gedge in moodier mode.

Similarly, that guy in the shot of "We are scientists" on the 6Music homepage is a deadringer.
