The Moral Maze
The relaunched Collings & Herrin Podcast Number 20 is out there. It's very different from the previous 19 podcasts. No, it's not. But it's 40p cheaper than the Daily Express.

Just bought That's me in the corner on Amazon marketplace for £4.45 including postage. Although, I fear, marketplace purchases may not push you up the book seller rankings, but I'm too much of a miser to pay the full price.
I was determined not to fall for Rich's "subliminal" hints to buy your book, but since he mentioned my Gaunty clip on YouTube I crumbled and I've gone and ordered it from Amazon.
Incidentally, I was thinking of starting a pressure group in support of Rich's desire to bum you. It could be called The Fill Collings Appeal...
Damn you Collings, since listening to the podcast i've been completely unable to get Wham out of my head!
As a show of solidarity I will buy it in person from a bookshop on Monday, even though AC is a trouble-starter who posts contentious blogs about music to wind the likes of me up.
Next week how about getting everyone to donate a silly sum to Richard's charity page. Overnight he'll be lionised (or lionmanised) as an incredible force for good, a new Diana, until the following days and weeks when the Daily Mail, Express and Gaunty expose him as man with an unhealthy fascination with pandas, small-fore-limbed mammals, dolphins and bumming colleagues.
Except, they won't ... because such things would be impossible for them discuss in a "family newspaper". As the rise of the new Diana (Spencer not Mitford) continues, the depths of depravity plumbed in the C&H podcast could continue unchecked. A new movement Christian Vice could be formed safe in the knowledge that Christian Voice no longer has two ha'pennies to rub together.
From such humble roots, the world domination of Collings and Herrin must surely be assured.
It was an excellent fun wheeze by Herrin to suggest the mass purchase of Collings's book. I think I'll do it. It's in Waterstone's's 3 for 2, alongside Alex James and also Maconie's pie book amongst others.
It looks like the Nielson/BookScan/Sunday Times bestseller lists run Sunday to Saturday, so hopefully everyone will buy the book as of today, to maximise the sales "spike". Based on the figures for the week ending 21 June, 5000 sales from registered outlets would have made the top ten (I think some independents, and possibly the Republic of Ireland, are not counted).
Meanwhile, Stephen Fry's latest podcast is a big speech/essay about the BBC, which is quite interesting.
Personally, I would have only one publicly funded channel, and I would make Rod Hull and Emu the controller. At least the weather reports would be more accurate.
I fancy you both! Mmmmmmm. Love the seductive pout of Mr H,despite the sticker.
