In the 35th Collings and Herrin Podcast, Richard turns over a new leaf and promises not to swear or be crude or call Andrew an idiot or talk about having sex with the hole in the bottom of a tortoise during an operation. Within this radical rubric, we cover the George Osbourne/Oleg Deripaska/Peter Mandelson/Nat Rothschild scandal, the historic visit by 14-year-old failed Olympic diver Tom Daley to Sea World in Florida, the thorny issue of sex education for five year olds, the cost of heating a George Foreman grill for 48 hours and the dangers of staying in a hotel designed by Hanna-Barbera.

The 34th Collings and Herrin Podcast covers the following hot news topics: the way the credit crunch is affecting Prince William, the new indecent exposure laws soon to rock the world of indecent exposure, the cream-and-seasonal-vegetable-based divorce of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, the election-losing teddy bear eyes of John McCain, bum-on-bum action in the Madrid derby (whatever that is), the world of 'amateur tits' and a sneak preview of our survey results. Warning: this podcast cuts off abruptly at the end, in the middle of a very funny bit. This was the software telling us to stop. Please go to www.collingsandherrinsurvey.com to take part in our survey. Thanks.

In our 33rd podcast, we cut a languid, mid-afternoon swathe through Alistair Darling's �500bn TV-screen bailout, the nude twit on the wall of the Japanese emperor's palace, Polly the tortoise in Bristol Zoo with the stretchy bandage, Lily Cole's alien face and translucent alien skin, Johnny Rotten's butter-based betrayal of everything we fought for, and Google's lunch policy

In our 32nd, unedited podcast, back in the teetotal, audience-free safety of Richard's attic (except at night), we solve the credit crunch, dream of a utopian future where there is no racism, berate Sharon Stone, deify Bruce Parry, mock a three-year-old boy for having a permanent tattoo of Bart Simpson and alight, once again, upon Richard's Jigsaw fantasy.

In this, our second ever live podcast, recorded before a live audience in the Cross Kings pub in London's Kings Cross, at at benefit gig for No Sweat, we attempt to discuss the departure of Ruth Kelly from Manchester, the arrival of Paul McCartney in Israel and other pertinent issues of topicality, but get sidetracked by Constantine's breasts and people shouting things out, as people do in pubs. A great night was had by all, except the small children employed to make Richard's trainers. You can even hear us going on stage, and going off again at the end, like some bootleg.

We are 30. In our thirtieth podcast, we ignore the global financial crisis and concentrate instead on Shepton Mallet, Strictly Come Dancing, the ongoing battle between swan and mink, future queen Kate Middleton's lack of rollerskating decorum, Bruce Parry, Creme Eggs, the Devil fox, and the striking differences between Starbucks and Caffe Nero. Still no sponsorship. For one week only: no Mitford Sisters.

This week, in our post-end-of-the-world podcast, we explain what those men in Geneva were actually trying to achieve, congratulate The Media for continuing to mislead us and do no work, catch up with what happened ten months ago in Holloway Prison, promote eugenics but not the bad kind, apply for the job of caption writer on the Express and enjoy the aroma of a roll-on deodorant that may or may not contain sodium laureth sulphate. This podcast was recorded in spite of Richard having food poisoning and Andrew having to sit near him.

Hello. In this twenty-eighth edition of The Moral Maze, we debate such burning issues Sarah Palin's surname, the likelihood of political prisoners being released due to the sight of Richard in cotton wool-filled Amnesty International pants, gang violence, gym etiquette, the sexiness of Esther Rantzen and other powerful women, and whether it's helpful to describe all paedophiles as 'monsters'. Guaranteed jingle-free. Bye.

We return to podcasting after two weeks and one day to discuss such burning issues as whether Gary Glitter should be 'tagged', whether David Beckham was paid to kick that ball off a bus at the Olympics, just how lazy are journalists on the BBC News website and whether the Falklands need defending any more. It is indeed good to be back, good to be back. Now with added jingles!

In this, our slightly tired twenty-sixth podcast, recorded last week in Richard's rented flat in Edinburgh, we offer up Jon Gaunt's autobiography Undaunted to the book club, pay tribute to Private Schultz, describe the previous week's Tempting Tatties performance-art 'happening' and invent a new Wikipedia game that all the family will enjoy, and does not involve vandalising it in a childish way. We are having a week off now, but plan to return the week after, refreshed.
