Moist

In the first of our five, live, daily podcasts from the Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe, we test the moistness of our audience and have them eating out of our hands, discussing the "swoop" on Kerry Katona's mansion, the 1,400 pints left behind the bar of the Glasgow Airport Holiday Inn for John Smeaton, the ethics of homeless people going on camping holidays, the accidental racism of a 12-year-old fan of the TV miniseries Roots and the endless permutations of our Edinburgh sponsor, the makers of the Profanity "app" for the iPhone you might, like Richard, be looking after for a young cycling resident of Shepherd's Bush. Next podcast TOMORROW! (And here's a pic of some of the audience.)

Mr. Collings,
Are you starting to sprout a walrus-style mustache to offset Herrin's toothbrush-style mustache? It sort of looks like it in the photo you posted.

Looks and sounds like you are enjoying being in Edinburgh again, I hope to be at your last show.

I thought you guys were in fine form today. Looking forward to the rest.

Seems a shame that no-run modern hair colouring technology denied us the sight of a man with a Hitler moustache and a man who had apparently crudely blacked himself up walking around together but you can't have everything.

I was at the recording today - I'm the girl in the photo in the black top doing jazz hands for some reason. Went to Tempting Tattie for my tea and it's as good as Richard Herring says. I recommend the medium meatball with cheese.

No moustache, Jemma, it's just the light - although I do get five o'clock shadow before five o'clock.

I always enjoy all C&H podcasts but this was one of the better ones, you were both more confident than your first live one as I felt understandably the audiences presence can inhibit some of the more intimate spontaneous vulnerable or extreme moments.
I listened to it today as I was walking round the streets, annoyingly when a car goes fast near by I miss some words so I listen again at home, sometimes I listen to them over 5 times, it can be comforting but it can send me a bit mad too.

I also enjoy the live podcasts a lot, they remind me of Johnny Cash's prison albums.

Is that a twinkle you have in your eyes or are you just dazzled by your audience - what a bright bunch they are!

I watched the film Satyricon before listening to the podcast this week and came across a not-proper profanity that I decided to keep for future use: "YOU PENDULOUS FART!" If the apple Nazis want that they might have to clear it with Fellini's estate.
