Hello and welcome to Giles Coron has no idea and it's your lucky day because instead

of the usual old guff with me and Esther sitting around the kitchen tables scratching through

the papers looking for ideas for my column we have a live recording for you yes it's like

Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park in 1980 or the Beatles in Berlin. Recorded at the

time to Cheltenham Literature Festival last weekend in an interview with the lovely Alex

Clark it's a no-hold bar journey through the life of this podcast from the very first

day we did it up to now it's no-hold bar it's marital rouse it's topical satire it's

a laugh a minute and the audience were all drunk so they sound like they're enjoying

it too so enjoy this and next week we'll be back to the usual guff

Hello everyone we're back but this is the first time of course you have seen

Esther Walker and Giles Coron very very very misleadingly titled event it's been I'm

not just you're being quiet for a second Giles is really drunk I'm not drunk I haven't

been asked a question yet why is it misleadingly titled the event what I mean is you

obviously have lots of ideas because I have heard many of them over lunch and you actually

said I'm going to stop talking in case we don't have anything to say I'm talking all through

lunch you want to do ask me these questions about things and I thought like I can't

possibly talk now because I've got to save all my gold for the paying hunters that she was she

you haven't paid so you don't get to hear what I think right but I've now drunk too much so I

don't really know what I think and the thing is is that the whole point is that Esther has the idea

so it's really when you say it's misleadingly titled it's the podcast has my name it's actually

perfectly titled that's what you're saying perfectly just but sometimes has no idea yes and now

this is what we're going to talk about again to the heart of the matter it's of course the kind
