Collings & Herrin: Podcast 78 (Edinburgh 2009 #4)

In the fourth of our live, daily podcasts from the Underbelly in Edinburgh, we reach a new level of surreal whimsy and timewasting as the enormity of the task really starts to sink in. But what a tremendous audience, especially Colin from Arbroath with all his "highers", whatever they are. We discuss, among other issues, the lack of fanfare for the countdown to the apocalypse ie. when we all have to use energy-efficient lightbulbs to appease some killjoys in Brussels (as noticed only by the Daily Mail), the fact that some animals ride on other animals' backs, and allow Richard to roadtest his Beckett-style play for the Fringe 2010 about the Mars Bar. It's possibly a modern classic, and certainly led to a truly phenomenal "happening" outside the Tempting Tattie.
