Pre-relaunch
Collings & Herrin Podcast Number 19 is in the can. In it, we unequivocally discount the possibility of making a Vernon Troyer-style sex tape in order to promote our "hardly annoying at all" podcasts. We also wish Gordon Brown's premiership a happy first birthday, offer some useful marketing advice to one of the political parties that beat Labour in the Henley by-election and react in surprised horror to the sexist nature of The Sun's tennis coverage. Also, live on-air, we discover that in the new version of That's Me In The Corner, Richard's name has mysteriously disappeared from the list of "mentors" in the acknowledgments section. This was actually news to me. I had no idea! His is the only name that's in the original version of the book and not in the new version. It's an X-Files-style mystery.Note the spectral presence of Stewart Lee in our photo. He looms large in all our lives.

Hello Andrew
Not interesting but informative: Scottish Vicars are called 'Ministers'
There is now an EXPLICIT label on the podcast in my iTunes. Only podcast 19 though, all the others are implicit.
Of course, this is great because it stitches Adam Buxton up like a kipper - you wait wait wait until eventually he promotes your on his podcast and then you pounce and become (explicitly) EXPLICIT. Now he has promoted filth on the BBC. He is in so much trouble. You do not engage him directly, but rather wait, and allow him to defeat himself, like Hannibal and the Elephants.

We asked Mark at the British Comedy Guide, who deals with our feed, to add an EXPLICIT, as this week's is particularly racy! But I think we need a warning on it, just in case a small child downloads it and is corrupted by the language. It's a badge of honour, and was certainly not designed to get our friend and ally Adam Buxton into trouble. Even with out the red warning, it's still explicit, I'm sure you'd agree.
Thanks, Paul!
It is rude, lude and extremely crude. It's very good actually.
i kinda thought some bits were needlessly sexist.
the bit about small boobs was what it must be like to listen to the nuts podcast.
Ricky, if you'd listened to (in fact, seen, as it's a video podcast) Nuts, you'd know that the comparison is not only odious but way off the mark. (It's last week's so forgive me if I am misremembering, but didn't I admonish Richard for using the term "flat-chested" in a pejorative sense (in my usual goody-two shoes way), at which he countered with the statement that he likes all breasts equally? There's a big difference between showing women in their underwear, as Nuts do, purely for the objectifying pleasure of young boys, and discussing issues of sexism in what I hope is a humorous and intelligent way.
Unless you're joking?
Does the title of your blog entry "pre-relaunch" mean that you are going to be doing a "new new" launch of the Collings & Herrin podcasts with advertising / dancing girls / the new photos / etc?
Will there be any actual difference to podcst number 20 onwards -- I assume the product itself is still going to be a DIY recording, not a re-launch now meaning 'professionally' recorded in a studio or anything?
(I'm not one of the ones who has ever complained about the sound quality BTW.)
I can state for the record that the "relaunched" podcast will sound exactly the same as the "pre-relaunch" podcasts.
Hello Mr Collins,
Thanks for providing an excellent podcast for free.
If I ever see you or your sidekick in the pub, you can have a pint for every podcast I've listened to. I'm not mad or anything, I just think you should be rewarded by the people if 'the man' doesn't want to pay you for it.

I think you should re-launch your podcasts to be less funny. Yesterday I listened to it on the bus and genuinely spat in the face of a person sitting opposite me who was rather attractive.
Therefore, can you stop it? now please.
I second the 'pint-buying' motion, I believe it is the least we can do to show our appreciation.
Chris
Andrew,
Have you discovered yet what happened to Richard's disappearing credit in your book? You must get to the bottom of all this and let us know!

John, I will look into it. And I'll scan both pages and do a blog entry on it, once I am near a scanner.
Great. But please be easy on the culprit when you find him or her. Working in publishing, I've been guilty of a few omissions in my time.. It's never a nice feeling when you realise what you've done.
Besides, it's only Richard Herring!
I'm not sure if this is the place to comment but I will anyway. I've downloaded all of your podcasts in one go and listened to the lot, pretty much, in about 4 days, which is quite admirable I think. It's great stuff, and I've enjoyed many moments, but I would like to correct you on just one thing that came up around episode 12 or 13 or 14 (it's a bit of a blur). I lived in Ireland for 4 years, and was there during the changeover to the Euro, and have been back a lot since. The Irish, bless 'em, still colloquially refer to Euros as 'quids' as they did their fine old punt. Eg: 'Oi had tree quid on the ole nag and she came in last, the fecker'. Just thought I'd say, like. Loving the work. Loving the work.
