A unique podcasting experiment! Because Andrew was too scared to go to Richard's house, which he believes to be rampant with the norovirus on every surface, they decided to record this week's podcast in quarantined conditions: Richard's in his fetid attic, Andrew's in a soundproofed room at the Radio Times office. Neither has listened to the other's half yet.

In Richard's half he goes into what might be too much detail about a very dirty weekend away with his girlfriend in Suffolk. Those of a sensitive disposition will surely have stopped listening to this podcast by now, but this might test the mettle of a few of you. He may or may not be critical of his former colleague Andrew Collings' decision to record his half of the podcast in a germ free booth at the BBC. There is only one way to find out. Andrew's half is mainly about films he has seen, which Richard would normally sleep or check his iPhone during anyway, so best left in isolation. This podcast was not done using germ-free Skype, because of the way other podcasts done using Skype have sounded.
