Our first ever live podcast in Wales gets the special number of Wales 1, so that, in two weeks' time, the live podcast in London can be honestly numbered Podcast 100, but also because Wales is officially our favourite non-English country to do live podcasts in now, due to excellent, warm and patient reaction from Welsh folk at St David's Hall in Cardiff to our tired, rambling, but 100% sober news-based thoughts on Amy Winehouse, fast food Britain, the Kraft/Cadbury's takeover, Senator Beefcake, David Walliams and the Stereophonics. Thanks to all who came out in the rain to see us, especially the man from Swansea called Tyma (you'll find out who he is when you listen - he may or may not be real).

So, Richard is back from Mauritius, jet-lagged, with a small put poignant avian gift for Andrew and the rich tan of a vain Giorgio Armani footballer. Having been apart for two weeks, during which Richard developed an unhealthy hatred for a nine-year-old girl in his hotel and saw four films on a plane, and Andrew worked really hard, in our 98th podcast we have plenty to catch up on, including: the snow, Peter Kay's autobiography and the Ronnie Corbett Scandal. We also find time to discuss what Beyonce will do for money, whether Wales counts as a proper country or not, the rubbish threats of Daffy from N-Dubz, the solecisms of poorly educated people and Lenny Henry's big hands.

Even though Rich is on holiday and Andrew is at work on the radio, we present a special 97th Podcast Review Of The Decade. Using only the Guardian's Icons Of The Decade supplement as a guide, we look back over the last ten years and try to make sense of it all, by not making sense at all, which seems appropriate. There's talk of 9/11 conspiracy theories, David Beckham's vanity or lack thereof, and a bit about Tony Blairs. It's a bit like Newsnight, really. We hope to be back, in person, before the end of next week, when Richard gets back all tanned and tropical.

In our 96th podcast, one of us has lost his voice over Christmas and is mainlining throat sweets, while the other seemingly hasn't and isn't. There is an air of post-festive indulgence about this week's look at the news, which includes the Nigerian Pants Bomber, as the papers have yet to christen him, the incredible weight loss of Hannah Waterman, the incredible age gain of Crocodile Dundee and his wife (or 'Croc-OLD-ile Dundee' as the tabloids have christened him) and the latest news from the Harry Potter franchise, which is something of a surprise, if an honest decision. Have a good New Year without us: Rich will be in Mauritius, Andrew will be earning a crust on the radio, but we have pre-recorded a review of the decade for next week, because we love you.

In a craven attempt to recapture the ghost of Christmas past, we reunite with the mighty Phill and Phil (Messrs Jupitus and Wilding) in their fancy studio to record another festive pod-off, entitled The Perfect Twelve, in which we ponder a dozen listener-supplied Christmas Questions. The professional, mixed, balanced, equalised, topped, tailed and jingle-festooned version is available from The Perfect Ten on iTunes - but if you prefer to longer, lo-fi, jingle-free, Collings and Herrin version, this is it. With extras. God bless us every one.

Back to the attic - in a brief but festive West London snowstorm! - for our 95th podcast, with a 25-minute section on bad breath, and most of the rest taken up with dissection of what Peter Kay's acceptance speech meant at the Comedy Awards and who is the most against sweatshops and torture out of Rage Against The Machine and X Factor's Joe McElderberry. There's a bit on Twiggy's eye bags and Tiger Woods' inappropriate violence against a man who hasn't got enough blades in his razor. Unfortunately for the latest one-star ingrate on iTunes, we don't have time to inspect the fluff from our navels and sod off the radio!

Podcast 94 was recorded in front of a near-sellout crowd amid tinsel, prizes and Up-style balloons at the tremendous Duke Of York's Picturehouse, scene of our triumphant first full show in May, a triumph we foolishly hoped to replicate tonight. It was an odd crowd. Many seemed on the verge of hysteria. There was, shall we say, an interactive vibe in the air. Highlights include a rendition of Richard's 'racist song', composed at the age of 10 and further juvenilia, including Andrew's own primitive Profanity App, made in about 1973, and the public debut of Richard's story The Dectives. There is also a cursory look at Tiger Woods, more Go Go Hamsters and a fox going up an escalator. We hope the at-home version conveys some of the bizarre atmosphere.

WARNING! NOT AS GOOD AS LAST WEEK'S! In our 93rd podcast, we drift back into mediocrity after last week's unexpected peak of hilarity based upon the writings of a nine-year-old boy. This week, dozy on pear cider - and in Richard's case, 'a couple' beforehand, like Christmas has come early or something - we go old school and sift through pages and pages of news, important and unimportant, like the sailors who accidentally sailed into Iran, the golfer who accidentally sailed into a cocktail waiter and the lookalike of Simon Cowell who accidentally sailed onto the front cover of the tear-powered Daily Mail.

In a special Antiques Roadshow edition of the Collings and Herrin podcast, Richard sorts through a load of his old shit from the past, including coins, posters, Youth Hosteling badges, railcards, Post Office Savings books and - at last! something interesting! - an early book of stories, mostly about Tarzan, ghosts and specific numbers of policemen and other men being killed. There is barely time to consider the papers, but we do offer a cursory glance at the world of Jordan, the fruity Australian couple having it off in a bell tower in Sydney in the afternoon, those worms that swim up your wee into the urethra like tiny salmon leaping upstream, and the idea of sipping cava through some cured meat. We might just carry on doing this.

In what could be our last podcast, depending on whether Richard's ravaged, overworked, overfed, overwhelmed body holds out for another week or not after what transpires to be a cumulative four solid days of podcasting (or 5,881 minutes) since February 2008, we consider the impact of Calvin Harris's 'protest' against Jed and Ward on The X Factor, discuss whether Bill Clinton or David Milliband would make a better lover, give Ben Elton the benefit of the doubt over his outrageous remarks about the Royal Family and - SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! NOT THAT RICHARD CARES! - review the new disaster movie 2012 in way too much detail, and reveal the ending of a film about the end of the world.
