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.

Yes. Even though Richard is away on tour, we have recorded a special, non-topical, Twitter-request podcast to tide you over, with subject matter chosen by you. It is Collings & Herrin Podcast 103, which is even more difficult than 102 - actually, very difficult, since we have no news to discuss, and are too superstitious to mention anyone living, in case they have died since we recorded it last Tuesday. It seemed safe to discuss the proposed hourly bus service from Newport to Monmouth, the famous red hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris, the 70s doo-wop band Darts, and the general election, so we did. We hope you enjoy this podcast. It may be our third worst. Or third best. It's hard, at this remove, to tell. It's certainly more controversial than anything lightweight Lenny Bruce came up with. |

Podcast 102Date: 16th February Length: 66 mins File size: 60.9mb Apologies for the picture, which is actually a very funny satire on the fact that Ashley Cole seems to have no pubic hair in the picture he texted to a lady. In Collings & Herrin Podcast 102, which is more difficult than Podcast 101, we ponder what to do with the 56 million Lottery jackpot neither of us has won, wonder why a Sikh would want to be in the BNP, pitch some ideas for films based on human gas including The Fart Whisperer and say all the words we are not allowed to say on the BBC podcast, just to get them out of our systems. Mainly nonce. |

Podcast 101Date: 11th February Length: 66 mins File size: 61mb Ha! Fooled you! Even though we hinted that there would be no more Collings & Herrin Podcasts because we are now too famous and successful and rich and on the BBC and everything, we were lying. Here is Number 101, which is full of the usual stuff: shameless plugging (not least for the just-out Headmaster's Son double DVD from Go Faster Stripe), whimsical filth, a passing smudge of topical news-based humour and a rambling anecdote from Richard which begins, innocently enough, with some baked legumes. There will be a sanitised, faintly professional-sounding podcast from this Saturday's 6 Music show in the usual place on Monday. Most of you don't deserve us. |
