Sadly Gemma couldn't make the recording as she had a nasty cough, pretty certain it's nothing to worry about, but she didn't want to interrupt the flow of conversation with her coughing.

The amazing and incredibly sweet Laura Summer makes her second appearance on this week's Talking Codswallop and speaks to James more about her ADR work and explains why it is useful and it's really interesting to find out how it is us...

Andy had to monitor the 2,099th clone reboot of James this week, so sadly neither of them could make the recording. Luckily for Gemma she didn't have to sit and talk to herself/the Salty Tadpoles on her own; the kick-ass Owen Edmonds from Pirate Cats comicbook and Jamie Westwood from Superhero Bar-Fight podcast stepped up to the plate in a big bad way; and filled the potentially smelly shoes of James and Andy.
