WE'RE ALL GOING ON A SUMMER HOLIDAY

As you may know by now, Adam & Joe are now off for a summer break from their Saturday morning show. Noooo! I hear you cry. Well Yesssssss! I cry back - but please don't be upset, as it's not all bad news.
Ìý
Reason to be Cheerful Part 1 - Andrew Collins is in tomorrow (4th July), celebrating the wonderful world of Independent Record companies on Independence Day.
Ìý
Reason to be Cheerful Part 2- The wonderful Danny Wallace will then take over for the rest of the summer. Anyone who heard Danny sit in for Shaun Keaveny at Breakfast will know they are in for a treat. There will be fun and guests and of course, great music.
Ìý
Reason to be Cheerful Part 3 - The best news for Adam & Joe fans is that from 11th July, the boys will return with a weekly Classic Song Wars podcast. Each week there will be a set of Song Wars tracks for you to download and keep, as well as an accompanying commentary from Adam & Joe about the making of the songs. Here's a bit to give you a taste

The first podcast will be telling the stories behind the making of family-friendly erotica favourites, Dr Sexy and Dirty Robots. It will be worth the wait, I promise. Of course, we'll keep the Adam and Joe blog bang up to date with your bits and bobs and look out for special posts from the boys themselves over the summer.

1) Love Andrew Collins and his fabulous brain.
2) Adore Danny Wallace and want to pop him in my pocket for later
3) Choosing a favorite Song Wars is like asking a mother to choose her favourite child but I've always been frustrated that Dirty Robots & Doctor Sexy (I like to write it in full as in Doctor Who) were not on the Album so it will be great to hear them wittering on about their masterpieces.
4) We have yet another new jingle variation.
Have a great time, everyone .....Andrew & Danny (and James), enjoy the show. Adam, try to relax in the last week of your sit com and all the other work that should be coming your way and Joe, enjoy sitting in the director's chair.

But I wish you all a fun filled summer of nonsense, I am more than excited to hear of progress on "Ant-Man", so use your time wisely please Dr. Sexy, I await pleasing results.
Thanksloveyoubye

Any chance Danny Wallace's show will be given the old pod treatment while he covers? He's a brilliant host but I am very much not black squadron so will miss huge chunks otherwise.

Maybe I should take this time to clear my computer of over 2 GB of A & J Podcasts. Im a crazy Podcast hoarder, I'll put them on CD or something, thats what Digiforce would do.

Will 6Music cover Carnival this year?
Listened to all of Andrew Collins & fully intend to catch Danny. This is PlaceHolderSupport Squadron, isn't it?

Btw would anyone be kind enough to tell me what number podcast 'Glastonbury 2' was for them? I've got 72 episdoes of the podcast in my itunes library, but I've a sneaky feeling I might have accidentally deleted some :(

Hope the boys have a good summer - huge thankies in advance for the forthcoming song-wars treats.

difference.
Anyway Danny Wallace is a fine stand-in,we'll be ok(won't we?).

I have Glasto 2 at # 76 & that is with numbering the disgusting RTTN from 8th June as # 72a. Adam used to keep track of the numbers in the early days but if he still does, he don't mention it.
