Welcome to the Andrew Collings (Andrew Collins) and Richard Herrin (Richard Herring) podcasts in which we deliver our own sideways look at the news. Our fervent wish is to recreate our now legendary news reviews from Andrew's now-defunct BBC 6 Music show, except without the indie records interrupting us, and without the need to temper the content for fear of offending a Sunday afternoon radio audience.
In this special Michael Jackson memorial podcast, we talk about the life of Michael Jackson, the death of Michael Jackson, the voice of Michael Jackson, the legend of Michael Jackson, the response to Michael Jackson's death, the response of Uri Geller, the response of Debbie Rowe, the response from Glastonbury, the remodelling of Andy Murray, the allure of Flamingo Land, how to keep a baby tapir cool, and why girls kissing girls will disturb EVERY parent.

Podcast 69Date: 23rd June Length: 66 mins File size: 61mb In our 69th!!!LOL podcast, we lament the locking down of not just our own Wikipedia entries, but also Duncan Norvelle's, while discussing in great detail the political leanings of new Speaker, John Bercow, assessing the form of all eleven Doctors Whos, pondering Jordan's crude tattoo removal, looking at Andrew's Glastonbury hat, recalling with great fondness and inaccuracy the 1980s public share issue campaign, and asking, yet again, WHO IS VIRGILIO ANDERSON??? And all sponsored, once again, by the Rhythm Festival in Bedford, who have helpfully kept some tickets back to be sold, unlike Glastonbury who greedily sold all theirs. Typical. |

Podcast 68Date: 19th June Length: 66 mins File size: 61mb In our 68th podcast, sponsored by the Rhythm Festival, Andrew has come hotfoot from reviewing the newspapers on Nick Ferrari's breakfast show on London's LBC, a non-stop commercial talk station ("London's Big Conversation"), and thus has read all of the newspapers, cover to cover, that's all of them, including the "X-rated" Daily Star. For once, it's all news, and no nonsense or housekeeping or catchphrases or plugs for things we are doing or Richard complaining about being tired: the redacted MPs' expenses, the Wheelie Bin Revolution, the difference between Alesha Dixon and Arlene Philips, Sir Fred Goodwin's chimney-sweeping pennance, the 'Tarmaccing community', Jordan's "X-rated" romp, the allure of nappies to the urban fox, and the great fluoridation debate. The one question we don't answer is, "Who is Virgilio Anderson?" |
