Podcast 19Date: 27th June 2008 Length: 61 mins File size: 56.1mb In our nineteenth podcast, we ponder our big relaunch with a brainstorming session that unequivocally rules out the possibility of a Vernon Troyer-style sex tape scandal; we also say happy one-year anniversary to Gordon Brown, give one of the more popular political parties in Henley some marketing advice, discuss the sexism of The Sun's sports coverage and have a look in our wheelie bins for Iraqis. |

Podcast 18Date: 20th June 2008 Length: 55 mins File size: 25.3mb In our eighteenth podcast, we look closely at David Beckham's pants, discuss the sexism of Ascot coverage, come up with a recession-beating way of saving money on stamps in Taiwan, calculate where we both stand in the celebrity hierarchy by measuring the distance between Ant and Dec and the VIP area of a fashion show in Northampton, and roundly ignore the man who said Andrew sounds like Mr Bean, thus depriving him of the oxygen of publicity.

Podcast 17Date: 13th June 2008 Length: 61 mins File size: 56.2mb In our seventeenth podcast, we wish Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin the very best, rail against the Stop and Search policy of the Metropolitan Police because it mainly singles out Andrew, investigate the wording of the Queen's Regulations about moustaches in the RAF, and wonder whether either Planet Of The Bulls or Planet Of the Catholics would be more entertaining that the one with Apes. This week's picture shows Andrew's curious shorts button and our Jon Gaunt/Sontarian comparison. |
 |
Podcast 16Date: 6th June 2008 Length: 58 mins File size: 52.7mb In our sixteenth podcast, not by any stretch either of our finest work, unrehearsed, we discuss the Big Brother hopefuls whilst trying not to learn their names, the subtext of Planet Of The Apes, crybaby Jon Gaunt, Richard's advanced colour-blindness and our first ever review in a national magazine that's not as good as it used to be. And we go on about ginger beer - again! |
 |
Podcast 15Date: 2nd June 2008 Length: 57 mins File size: 51.8mb In our 15th nervous breakdown, we cover such burning issues as the Universal Studios Disaster, mini-socks, gym etiquette, Fern Britton's 'diet fib', Britain's Got Talent and 'a delicious explosion of unmatched responses.' In our photo, you can see our calves. |
 |
Podcast 14Date: 23rd May 2008 Length: 60 mins File size: 54.8mb In our fourteenth podcast, we try to put Lion Man behind us, and investigate the ins and outs of zoophilia, plus Crewe and Nantwich, the need for fathers, what to really do if you feel chest pains and the difficulty of sticking chewing gum on Blade Runner-style moving adverts. (In this photo we are skillfully reproducing the picture from the NME of Shane McGowan and Pete Doherty.) |
 |
Podcast 13Date: 16th May 2008 Length: 62 mins File size: 56.5mb Will out thirteenth podcast be unlucky? Yes, if you don't want to hear Andrew talking about Lion Man, but no, if you want to hear Richard trying to talk about pandas' hands and why Cherie Blair had to "put out" on her first date with Tony Blair in 1976. What has Andrew been controversially drinking? Two sips of caffeine or alcohol? Find out inside! |
 |
Podcast 12Date: 10th May 2008 Length: 54 mins File size: 49.6mb In our twelfth podcast, we defend Ant and Dec, defend Hitler, share our memories of being in the Bullingdon club and find out what we were both doing on May 5, 1982 by using our diaries. Don't turn off when we start talking about the bouncy castle as it get unexpectedly much better after it. |
 |
Podcast 11Date: 2nd May 2008 Length: 53 mins File size: 48.2mb In our eleventh podcast, recorded during the knife-edge count in the London mayoral elections, we discuss both the "bloodbath" and the "meltdown" for Labour, while sparing a thought for fascist Italy, Miley Cyrus (who inspired our photo), drunk women in Northumbria and the fools who spend money asking 118 and 118 questions when we can answer them for free. |
 |
Podcast 10Date: 28th April 2008 Length: 54 mins File size: 49.7mb In our tenth anniversary podcast, we wonder how "sensational" Alan Levy's memoir is going to get on Tuesday, what makes Austrians put people in cellars, why on earth would Trinny and Susannah go naked for publicity and what if Lembit Opik actually married both Cheeky Girls? |
 |
Podcast 9Date: 18th April 2008 Length: 55 mins File size: 55.2mb In our ninth podcast, we put the world to rights, albeit mainly the world of Gordon Brown's body language to the wronged Hillary Clinton, a BEFORE and AFTER spam email that we suspect is not wholly trustworthy, and the perils of taking Oasis and Lucozade onto a plane for perfectly innocent reasons. One of us is a left wing goody two shoes, but which one? |
 |
Podcast 8Date: 11th April 2008 Length: 55 mins File size: 25.2mb Even though Richard is on holiday, the podcast continues! We talk about Ed Balls and the human-cow hybrid and whether it's acceptable to talk about owls after a September 11th-style tragedy, and it's almost as if Richard is here. |
 |
Podcast 7Date: 4th April 2008 Length: 52 mins File size: 23.7mb In our seventh podcast, Richard eats a gluten-free biscuit and threatens bran-related odours, and we cover everything from Robert Mugabe and Gary Rhodes to Nick Clegg and Britannia (boo hoo, she's going from our coins). |
 |
Podcast 6Date: 28th March 2008 Length: 52 mins File size: 23.8mb Podcast Six became our second (or third) weekly podcast. In it we joined the nation in Carla Bruni Mania, asked why the Sun won't publish the harmless slang word "nosh" and examined our own personas within the new double act. And we got a free muffin! |

Podcast 5Date: 21st March 2008 Length: 51 mins File size: 23.3mb In our fifth podcast, a Good Friday Special, we cover everything from our arch-rivals the Nuts Podcast, the paedo who landed, the sad death of Captain Birdseye and the sad split of Kym and Jack Ryder. And wish the new Iraq a happy fifth birthday. |
 |
Podcast 4Date: 14th March 2008 Length: 52 mins File size: 24mb Our fourth podcast covers everything from the Budget, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, old mens' noses and wheat to the McCartney divorce settlement and the big question: whether we should do our podcast every week. |
 |
Podcast 3Date: 29th Feb 2008 Length: 51 mins File size: 23.6mb In our third podcast we were forced to discuss Prince Harry in Afghanistan as it was the only story in all the newspapers. Plus, capital punishment, Paris Hilton's kitten, Lemsip Max and the sweaty Cupid and Fate. |
 |
Podcast 2Date: 15th Feb 2008 Length: 51 mins File size: 23mb Our second podcast covers everything from feral thugs and Katie Price to the Beijing Olympics (well, not literally everything, obviously).

 |
Podcast 1Date: 1st Feb 2008 Length: 43 mins File size: 20mb In this first podcast, recorded with the in-built mic on Richard's laptop because our expensive microphones didn't work, we cover David Beckham, Britney Spears, the Woolworth's "Lolita" range of children's bedroom furniture, the US election and much, much more. |
