Talk:The Collings and Herrin Podcast

Episode guide
Episode Guide -- Seriously wiki moderators, what is wrong with you? Stop editing out that episode guide for god's sake!
 * As has been noted, the episode guide is a serious copyright violation. It is also unencyclopedic. It is also easily accessible at it's rightful place, the externally linked homepage of the podcast. These are simply three of the reasons why 2 editors have already been blocked for re-adding the guide and the page semi-protected. As you did at least drop a note on the talk page, albeit a rather embarrassing one, I won't block your account. However, please take note that you will be blocked for readding the material in future. If an administrator has reverted something several times, blocked 2 editors and protected a page, it might be wise to enquire about their reasons for so doing, rather than readding the material.

Rewriting History
"Such alterations were made in spite of Collins' repeated pleas to the contrary. " Bollo*ks!! Collins never made a SINGLE plea, never mind REPEATED ones to stop. See Andrew Collins 'discussion' page (if it hasn't been removed by Collins himself) because Collins said that people SHOULD deface Wikipedia, but should do it to obscure pages so that noone will find out. There is a transcript of what he said on the aforementioned discussion page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.15.48.89 (talk) 03:46, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, and have fixed the article with a citation link to an appropriate podcast. 86.150.98.145 (talk) 17:40, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Past tense?
Are these dudes gonna get the fuck back together? If not we should shift this article to past tense should we not? :-) 81.159.49.203 (talk) 19:15, 20 August 2011 (UTC) No, because it'll still be 'is', because it still is a podcast, just not a current one.  Ged  UK  19:44, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * NEEDS TO BE PAST TENSE NOW; THE PODCAST HAS ENDED. IGNORE THE SUGGESTION ABOVE.  ;-) Spectoral Gassant 12 (talk) 01:50, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Officially over, so it's time to shift the article to past tense I reckon. 81.151.207.205 (talk) 06:07, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Collings and Herrin
Any hint that they might consider working together again? Sandy Brackers (talk) 08:17, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look like it'll happen. Collins was on twitter today saying that the prospect of being called a bummer puts him off going back to C&H.  He seems to really hate it, and since that was one of the main jokes/ideas of the podcast, I can't see it happening :-(  86.162.60.213 (talk) 13:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems to me like he's still playing the "Collings" character if that's the case. There's no way Collins is genuinely upset and/or offended about being called a "bummer", is there?  86.150.253.13 (talk) 22:15, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Bootleg correction and question about Richard Herring's Edinburgh 2011 podcasts
Hello. I am a big fan of Collings and Herrin and would like to help out with this article.

I think that the paragraph relating to podcast 123's botched recording is inaccurate. There is a suggestion that the power failure at the venue was the cause of Andrew Collins' laptop error, but these two incidents were completely separate. In other words, if the power failure hadn't happened, the recording would still have gone awry. You only need to listen to the official and bootleg versions of 123 to understand this. Further recordings in the 2010 run were made using Richard Herring's laptop. Furthermore, the phrase "an audience evacuation towards the end of the show" suggests that there was an early end to the performance but the citation link to Richard Herring's blog does not back this up. The show ended normally after the usual amount of time and everyone filed out in darkness (I was there). It is true that a member of staff mentioned that the building was being evacuated (only after being questioned by Richard Herring, which was a cause of some amusement) but Collins and Herring did not stop early. Again, you only need to listen to the bootleg to realise this. I would make the changes myself but I have never edited a Wikipedia entry before (I only signed up to make this comment) so I thought I should get some consensus before I went steaming in.

The other subject I’d like to raise is whether it is worth adding some information about Richard Herring’s Edinburgh Fringe Podcast to the small paragraph dealing with the current hiatus. Does anybody know if Richard Herring organised these interviews as a reaction to Andrew Collins' new partnership with Josie Long? Or would they have taken place anyway? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CVJohnson (talk • contribs) 11:15, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey CVJohnson, thanks for your questions. Have a go yourself at editing, don't be shy; if you provide adequate citations and luck is on your side, all your efforts shouldn't be reverted by somebody who deems him- or her- self better than you.  86.150.98.109 (talk) 21:53, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Anyone know what happened?
Collings and Herrin now over, but I thought it was because Richard was p***ed off with Andrew; now it turns out that, even after waiting patiently for Richard to come back, and uploading bonus "fake" podcasts to fill the gap, Andrew has now decided he's had enough of it?? What happened? 86.147.247.222 (talk) 15:09, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * They're already back. Ged  UK  18:15, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No, they've stopped completely now (announced on Monday), because Andrew wasn't enjoying it anymore. 86.147.247.222 (talk) 03:52, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

It's over
Will somebody with editing privileges on wikipedia please turn this article into past tense? There will be no more episodes of the Collings and Herrin podcast. Thanks. 188.29.63.88 (talk) 18:18, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Only found out about this today. Kinda disappointing...it went out with less than whimper. Dave_Dubya - 04:24, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia becoming a place that you can only edit if you pay money (or whatever it is they do to get special privileges)? Whoever heard of such a thing! ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.28.91.20 (talk) 19:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Why can't this article be edited? Does anyone know? 109.156.76.209 (talk) 11:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems we're supposed to tell Controllio what we want doing, he decides if it's worth his time and then he might or might not make suggested edits depending on how he feels. Fuck knows.  94.196.153.38 (talk) 14:58, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Well would you like to put the article into past tense please? Us mere mortals are deprived of being able to help out.  86.162.60.153 (talk) 09:02, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Citation Request
The section "The podcast was made for and hosted by the British Comedy Guide and was also distributed via iTunes." seems to have a factual inaccuracy in it.

The podcast was not, to my knowledge, made for the British Comedy Guide. I am sad enough to have listened to every one at least twice and I have never got the impression that the podcast was made for anyone apart from a hodge-podge army of fat, bearded nerds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.32.11 (talk) 08:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
