Hello all

RICHARD HERRING'S OBJECTIVE
I am doing a one-off of the Radio 4 show (about ginger hair suitably enough) on August 15th. All the tickets are gone, but you'll be able to hear it on the radio if you didn't manage to get one (don't know broadcast date yet). I am doing four more of these in London in October so keep an eye on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/tickets/ if you want free tickets.
EDINBURGH PREVIEWS
If you can't make it up to Auld Reekie then you might be able to catch What is Love, Anyway in preview (and I will be touring it in Spring 2012 - dates will be announced as soon as I know them). You can find more details at

AS IT OCCURS TO ME
Thanks so much if you came to the final series of the ground-breaking podcast show. It is now over, but we might return with a different project next year. You can still download all the shows from iTunes and The British Comedy Guide
http://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts.
Go Faster Stripe are working on a DVD including all the MP3s of the shows, plus the secret stand ups and some other extras (including a cool poster) which should be out in the next few weeks from
http://www.gofasterstripe.com
You can also hear our old Radio 2 show "That Was Then This Is Now" in some ways the prototype for AIOTM, here -

WARMING UP - AUDIO PODCAST/KINDLE
I have started recording my Warming Up Blog on soundcloud
You can listen to them here -

Here's the RSS feed -

And I have also submitted it to iTunes so hopefully you'll soon be able to download it as a podcast from there.
You can also now get my blog delivered to your futuristic Kindle for a small fee. It continues to be free on-line, but if you want to show your thanks and pay 7p a day for it then sign up here -

(first 14 days for free).
COLLINGS AND HERRIN
We're on a hiatus (for the first time in three years) as we come to terms with some "issues". We hate and resent each other, but will probably stay together for the sake of you, our children. To keep you amused until we can bear to be in the same room as each other we'll be releasing some retro pretend podcasts from our 6Music stints back in 2006.
CHRIST ON A BIKE
The DVD will be released on 31st October. We are working very hard on it and if you buy it from go faster stripe you will be getting over 8 hours of extras (including the almost forgotten TV show "Richard Herring in Fiji" and an exclusive Collings and Herrin video podcast). The official shop release only has one bonus disc so do buy it from GFS.
FIST OF FUN
Go faster stripe are also putting together DVDs of the cult 1990s sketch show "Fist of Fun". Series one should be released in time for Christmas. And series two will be out next year. Please buy this as we have had to spend tens of thousands of pounds acquiring the rights to do it.
HALF MARATHON
I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for SCOPE in October. I am old and this might kill me, so I would appreciate it if you sponsored me to make my self-sacrifice worthwhile -

TV PROJECT
I am writing a comedy drama about a fictional Somerset gorge for the BBC. It was meant to be finished by the end of May, but I am hoping I can finish it by the end of June. It is just one script at the moment and it won't get made unless the powers that be like it and are not distracted by seeing Richard Bacon walking past. I will let you know what happens either way.
TWITTER
That is really me on Twitter. @Herring1967. I love Twitter. It is ace.
Thanks for reading
Richard Herring
