Episode 19 contains a reference to Adam Ant and "Stand and Deliver". This may leave a lot of our younger listeners scratching their heads in bewilderment, and so to save you the Wickipedia search, here's Mr Ant, asking you to stand and deliver in 1981.

In other news, Episode 19 is now pretty much written and I will begin recording tomorrow. I have a head cold and I'm hoping it will lift, but if it doesn't, I'll still record anyway. You'll have to forgive the slightly adenoidal tones ;-)

Episode 18: Underwood learns a little about David and Lydia ... And David learns a lot about Underwood.

Just a quick note to say that episode 18 of Underwood and Flinch is almost ready. I have one more scene to edit-down and I need to do the music and bumpers and it'll be done. There'll be no chit-chat on this one; I'm keeping it simple so I can post it faster. Right now, I'm estimating a length of about 35 - 40 minutes long, which is a nice length, I think. Not too long, not too short, just right. Watch this space (no black and white image this time because the finished image is black and white anyway)

After one month and more work than any episode to date (due in part, but not wholly, to the bonus content) Underwood and Flinch Episode 17 is finally live.

The U&F content is thirty minutes long, but the bonus material adds another ten minutes of listening time for those who want it - and if you enjoy the 'Sometimes' podcast (which I certainly do) you won't want to do that

Episode 17: David, Lydia and Miguel finally get to meet their master.

Episode 17 is coming along nicely, I've got about 8 minutes of sound file edited so far. However, there's still a lot to do: the unedited recording is still huge (though it will boil down to about twenty minutes when it's all done) and there are going to be hundreds of re-takes, especially with Underwood's lines. He's a slippery one to nail down: posh, cruel and dominant, and yet also amicable, playful and generally up for a wheeze. I have to walk around the room 'being' him a lot to get the right vibe ... Just so long as I keep him in the house and don't go out of the house in-character

Underwood and Flinch 17 is now finally written and recorded. I'll be editing the sound file tomorrow and hopefully I'll get it online in the next couple of days. Keep an eye on the grey smokes below, when they take colour, the episode is live.

Ooooooh look, Jason has done a lovely new look for MBP.com. What do you think? That banner is a beauty isn't it?

Many thanks to Jason for all his hard work. Huzzah!
