COLLINS & HERRING IN FOR A&J
| 10:24 UK time, Wednesday, 27 January 2010
The splendid pairing of Andrew Collins & Richard Herring will step in for Adam & Joe from this Saturday and throughout February. Who better to continue the tone set by Danny Wallace in cheering us up while Adam & Joe are away? There will be a podcast of the show available on Mondays.

Andrew Collins writes:Ìý
'Richard and I have been childishly jealous of Adam and Joe's success and immaculate speaking voices for many years. Now they have gone to Hollywood on the flimsy pretext of having some "other work" to do for a bit, we are only too pleased to jump into their shoes and play with their loyal listeners for the next five weeks. We cannot promise any pets in the studio, but we will be drawing upon the unbalanced enthusiasm of the Saturday morning audience and hoping to create a genial, jumper-wearing Swap Shop atmosphere, like Saturday mornings used to be, in other words. Also, we guarantee never to record a song. You have our word on that.'Ìý
Welcome back to Saturday mornings Andrew & Richard and we hope you all tune in from this Saturday!

This will be the Collins & Herring Podcast, suitable for all ages and produced by the Big British Castle with their full backing. How exciting! I remember 6 Music when podcasts hadn't been *invented*.

So glad they've let Andrew bring his chum along to this gig. The outfall would have been insufferable if they hadn't.

I approve though ;)

So if like me you were looking forward to seeing how Buckles handled the crushing isolation of his garden shed with only a few cans of beer and a few jazz mags to aid him, then clicky here!

YAY!!!
Here's hoping the Collings and Herrin podcast will keep going though? I cant go too long without hearing Richard say that special word up to twice per hour :)
Congrats on the gig, they never should have let Andrew leave.
