Jesus with a bear

In the twenty-fourth Collings & Herrin podcast, Richard is in Edinburgh (as evinced by his Loch Ness monster hat and local drink) and I am in London, but miraculously, we have made a podcast anyway*. In it, rather than get worked up about topical matters, we discuss the wider issues of Giles Coren, Barabbas, Argentina Brunetti, the "quite surreal" nature of Un Chien Andalou and the precarious nature of the Collings & Herrin Podcast Wikipedia entry. Don't forget, if you're in Edinburgh, we're recording the next podcast in front of an audience at the Underbelly, Wed August 6, at 10.30am. Come along.

* By recording it last week. We work hard for you.

When will this one be up on iTunes? I'm just getting an error message at the moment.

No idea, Wowser. I just goes up there automatically. My iTunes is set to automatically check for new podcasts in my list and it hasn't downloaded number 24 yet. Be patient, I guess.

OK. Sorry about that - I have just literally run out of ANY new podcasts to listen to. I'll listen to a CD Review repeat for now...

Good afternoon!

Tremendous value for money.

According to the BBC article about Alan Coren, he had two children, Giles and Vicky. Perhaps the sub-editor changed the age in Alan Coren's review. That would explain a lot.

(I listened via the comedy guide page, as my iTunes is telling me that the address is wrong, even though it has downloaded all of the other 23 podcasts quite happily. It'll probably sort itself out.)

Great podcast, and by the looks of it people have been editing wikipedia!

Yay! Power to the podcast!

Hi Andrew

Great podcast this week. I think the hysterical ones are the best - I might get a tattoo of an oat milk as a tribute.

Also, Richard's idea for a flashback episode has already been done by the surprising good Clerks animated series. They did a flashback show on their second episode, and constantly referred back to the same event from the pilot. They also referred to things that never happened.

In conclusion: Richard Herring is a plagiarist, even if he never wrote it. Hypothetical plagiarism is the worst kind.

Watched Film 24. Those tall stools are very strange. It looks like not only has someone stolen your milkshake but the whole countertop as well.

Shame it wasn’t hosted by Newsnight hottie Emily Maitlis like last week’s edition. Then the chairs were lower and there was even a table, which worked.

Good one. Oat/Tattoo bit was my favourite. Listened to it on the train here in Tokyo with predictably embarrassing consequences.

When I laugh on the train because of the podcast I self-consciously touch/readjust my earphones a bit to make it more obvious to other passengers that I am listening to something funny and I'm not just a weirdo.

Does anyone else do this? I have to do it so often now thanks to these bloody podcasts that I think there should be a name for it.

I think the podcast has reached a new level of interactivity, as I found myself typing stuff into wikipedia as you were talking about it.

Which is actually a bit sad really.

This has been the second podcast this week where the presenters have added rude bits to Wikipedia articles (Answer Me This is the other).

Change Wikipedia entries??

Ok, I was bored.
