(This is the link to download it and it is on iTunes). But I will talk a bit about it.
Unlike the first series, there was now a full warm up and a break between that and the podcast recording itself. Richard was very good. It had become a running joke during the first series that he was doing the same set of jokes during the warm up. It was not the case this time, as he did new material, a lot of stuff that he couldn't fit in the show. There was also a lot of banter with the crowd. This was where me and my sister were picked on, as he knew us from Collings and Herring Podcast 100 as the twins whose birthday it was on the day of recording (our dad dobbed us in!) That was a combination of funny and a little embarrassing. Richard may put up the warm up online later on this week to show what people who don't attend what they are missing. There was also someone else who was also mentioned on Podcast 100, so there was a lot of call back generally.
The podcast itself was very good, as I knew it would be using previous experience. It was nice seeing Christian Riley finally doing the stings live as he didn't do the shows that I attended. He even did a topical song alongside the stings which was cool. Everyone else was of course funny. There were a few call backs, although the joke was they were avoiding using old material like 'cumpkins' and the roulette wheel sound effect, and being different in general, although that didn't stop him using a very old joke from his 'Lee and Herring' days.
It is definitely recommended to see live, at least listen to it if you can't. I am attending the last one, at the Bloomsbury, and maybe another depending.
