We are Andy McNab
In the 42nd Collings & Herrin Podcast, for those interested in such fripperies, we ignore the news for the first 27 minutes while we talk about very little, but when we do finally acknowledge the outside world and the events therein, it's Lisa Snowden's potentially dangerous jive, Terry Wogan's tumble dryer, a Hampshire lollipop man's tinsel-decorated sign, the Sun's Military awards and the decision to allow Andy McNab to appear in the judges photograph with a small blackboard over his face [to which we pay tribute in our picture], and that's it. Sadly, Andrew mucked about with the computer and it ends before the traditional one hour and six minutes. You should be aware of that.
Extra podcast news! The first ever Collings & Herrin Video Podcast, recorded in July, is now available to buy, as an extra on Richard's latest DVD, Oh Fuck I'm 40, which you can buy from Go Faster Stripe here. Unfortunately, you have to get the boring film of his gig, but the good part, with me on it, is on Disc 2. You can just throw Disc 1 away, or give it to charity.

Don't hawk it for downloading if its not up yet.
But whats the question??
We finish recording the podcast. We load it. We send it to our friend at the British Comedy Guide. He does his magic and turns it into a feed pretty much straight away. In the meantime, I put up a blog entry advertising the new one. I then leave Richard's house and go to wherever it is I'm going. Rather than put the blog entry up hours after the podcast is available, it seems more practical to put it up with the link straight away and assume that people will find it when it is available.
There seems to be a lot of moaning going on. Is Christmas getting to people?
Isn't it technically no 43 (if you count the extra one you had a while back)?
I am funny.
Looking forward to it. I'll have to find some free wifi to d/l it to my iPod in time for a long flight tonight.
I'm sorry you've mistaken my playful cumbrian banter for moaning. I'm not that desperate to listen to it. Theres lots of more interesting things to do up here in Cumbria, like counting sheep for example. Is that passive aggressive???
Sorry, Cartoonhead. The internet does tend to suck the nuance out of the English language! It's technically Number 44 if you count 37a (Radio Academy) and the new video podcast, recorded in July. But you've got to have a system.
I think you should decide for definite what number is and then stick to it. Otherwise you'll forever be having to officially call it "Podcast X, or X+1 if you take into account the radio Academy one we did".
Also, the seats in the cinema look very comfy. But are you forced to snuggle up next to a potential stranger if you go on your own or is the seat all for one person?
They look like "love seats" to me. Perhaps you can have them for one or two? They've done the place up since I used to go there regularly in the late 80s. (I didn't live in Hampstead; I just went there for the arthouse atmosphere.)
i have to say that is an appalling photo of RH on his DVD. Looks like some kind of weird Michael Jackson (not quite) lookalike - at least from the Podcast Photo.
You should see the one inside, Adam.
"Oily sperm" and "Heidi Kum" in one podcast? Keep up the good work!
ive always wanted to know, but am too sheepish to ask, whats up with herrings weird patchy facial hair in that 'oh fuck im 40' promo pic?
just curious!

I think it's a trick of the light, rather than facial topiary.
Bless you for mentioning our (yours, mine and Kates!) attempts to get the world finger dancing. An important part of your non-news based newspaper podcast I feel. And now I've been mentioned twice :-) so I guess I owe your paypal account a few bob. But Richard mocked us!! I reckon he's just massively jealous of such an ace idea. No rhythm in his soul ;-)

I commute to London every day, and always stand up and move to the doors one stop before the end so that I don't have to faff around; this gives me plenty of opportunities for Secret Dancing, and yesterday I could be seen (or not) secretly dancing to the theme from Bob the Builder.
Best commute ever.
Andrew, maybe you ought to pitch 'Strictly Secret Dancing' to the BBC? Perhaps give well known celebs a headphone with incredibly infectious tunes on them in a public place and make them do various tasks - like standing on the tube, or reading in a library and they get voted on their secretive-danciness. Not quite thought it through yet...
Anyway, I remember someone somewhere sometime saying it was almost impossible (in a fruit-pastel-in-your-mouth-without-chewing kind of way) to listen to Status Quo while in a library without tapping.
Have a good weekend.
I can't get 'Cottoneye Joe' out of my head now. You total, total bastards.
Andrew (and Richard a bit) I really enjoyed the podcast this week, especially the bit where Richard left the room and Andrew had a monologue of madness. It was like something from the Afternoon play on Radio 4.
Sam
funniest podcast for a while andrew.
why not strip down to your undies next time richard leaves the room? you'll see if he's as gay as he claims when he re-enters the room...
cheers, tom
