Andrew Collins and Josie Long show review, BBC 6 Music
With the dysfunctional breakup of Andrew Collins and Richard Herring back in June 2011, Collins has had to go his own way. Luckily, he’s had help and the result is the Andrew Andrew Collins and Josie Long show on Saturday Mornings on BBC 6 Music.
Though the banter isn’t necessarily manically funny, making the podcast a bit dull in parts, it more than makes up for that with the music that it plays. Eclectic and almost always brilliant, Andrew Collins and Josie Longs song picks are about as sure footed as it gets between the hours of 10am and 1pm on a Saturday.
Don’t expect it to be the most exciting radio you’ve ever heard. However, it’s the perfect late Saturday morning comfort blanket with great music and random chat. The only annoying part of the show is whenever Josie breaks into a poor man’s impression of Russell Bran.
On every Saturday, it’s a pretty decent constant to follow up a big week with and if you miss the show it’s available to listen to on iPlayer for seven days after it’s on air. You can also download the podcast from iTunes and the BBC 6 Music website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01704sg.
