#560 One Ball and Boe - Richard is sad to note the death of a man who has fuelled and spoiled his erotic fantasies. His guest John Kearns, has finally been allowed into the Leicester Square Theatre on the fifth or sixth time on the pod - itâs the thoughtful and measured John Kearns. In a return to endless old-school RHLSTPs itâs a sprawling pod, covering very old tortoises, Raymond Briggs, Richâs dad giving a talk at the BFI, the effects of the Taskmaster bounce (or plunge in Richâs case), rumours about Top Coppers and much more. Too much more. Gloriously too much more.

#372 Arthur Askey's Chair - Richard is wondering if comedians might be the solution to all the worldâs problems (they wonât be), but delighted to be back at the Leicester Square Theatre for the start of Season 23 of this amazing podcast. His guest is legendary comedian and DJ Paul Chuckle. They chat about Paulâs incredible 59 year career, from working mensâ clubs and routines with Charlie Cairoli, through talent shows and learning the craft to the big break with Chuckle Vision. What injuries did the boys have to endure for comedy? What was it like to be so recognisable? How did the distinctive Chuckle look develop? And how did they come up with the iconic To Me, To You. Plus working with Tinchy Strider and moving into DJing. Paul talks movingly about losing his brother/partner and best friend and why he needed to carry on working. And finally the truth about his moped accident.

RHLSTP Book Club 137 - I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning - Richard talks to the novelist Keiran Goddard about his affecting and fantastic second novel, I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning. They discuss the themes of the work including the changing nature of friendship, how we are encourage to escape our roots, the truth about gig economy and why people turn to drink and drugs, the decision to write the book from the perspectives of each friend, whilst retaining the idea of the hive mind that a group of friends have, having your work turned into filmed entertainment and why a lot of people turned up expecting to be extras in Peaky Blinders, the humour that fills this sometimes bleak work and how you feel when you watch an old video knowing everyone in it is now dead.

#559 In Tandem - Rich has just returned from Center Parcs where he was treated like a celebrity, albeit one from the 20th Century. His guest is fabulous US comedian Chloe Radcliffe. They discuss their similarly nerdy childhoods, how TV has led us to expect physical perfection, Richardâs complicated week when he lost his virginity, how Instagram judges you, how compartmentalisation is important for a comedian, why tackling the subjects that scare you most can lead to great stand up, why people cheat and why we usually only talk about the times we were cheated on, not when we cheated, dating someone on a different continent and Chloeâs fantastic idea for an interview podcast https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP3nQxiZUKySkPYs6tjJzrgyN_p1FfdHl

#359 A Face For All Occasions - Richard is in giddy mood as he meets a member of the audience. His guest is living legend and national treasure Miriam Margolyes. They discuss Arnold Schwarzeneggerâs farting revenge, King Edward VIIâs weighing chair, the sexism of the boys in the Cambridge Footlights, how Miriamâs fatherâs life was spared by a diamond, an unusual approach to dealing with a sex pest, some strong opinions about the current government, making a soft porn tape, appearing in a Beckett play despite not liking it, starring in an American sitcom and why a lesbian ended up giving so many blow jobs. Itâs a stone cold classic RHLSTP from one of our greatest actors. You will love it.

Book Club 136 - The Revenge Club - Another intercontinental Book Club this time with Kathy Lette in Sydney, Australia talking about her funny book on a serious subject The Revenge Club. They chat about how they met on a TV show with the lowest ratings of all time, how this book sprung from a real life issue for Kathy (and who all the incidents of male nastiness are based on true stories), the nature of revenge, using comedy to cover topics that arenât funny in themselves, why post-menopausal women are apparently invisible, fighting the patriarchy, doing all the accents in your own audio book, why men should read books by female authors and whether things are improving for women or getting worse (or both).

#558 Trouser Press - Itâs the first podcast fuelled by Soleros for a while and Rich is vaguely concerned about asteroids and if heâs worth more dead or alive. His guest is the multi-talented Alexandra Haddow. They discuss the wonderful town of Corby - has Richard forgotten playing there? Almost certainly - festivals that are only held every 20 years, how we can be judged by the best of worst that weâve done, whether birds are scarier than ghosts.

#358 Irish Unicorn - Richard has an idea that will revolutionise football and is having to explain to his daughter why history killed all the famous women. His guest is academic and broadcaster Emma Dabiri. They talk about growing up as almost the only black person in Ireland, why white people donât like being told what to do next, Richardâs âAll Lives Matterâ conundrum, whatâs happened to the ugly TV academics, how whiteness and blackness are a relatively modern invention, why we need to destroy capitalism and Emma answers some of Phoebe Herringâs Would You Rather questions.

RHLSTP Book Club 135 - Six Conversations Weâre Scared To Have - Richard talks to Guilty Feminist host Deborah Frances-White about her new book in which she discusses topics that people are generally nervous to offer an opinion on. They chat about how her time in a cult helped her recognise cult-like attributes in social media groups, whether we can judge people from history for their actions, the difference between good and bad edgy comedy and why changing attitudes to people who have been adopted might help us understand modern day prejudices.

#557 Sex Dungeon - Richard is back in Leicester again, fresh from an interview with a journalist who has been up the Queen. His guest is Australian comedian and adventurer John Robertson. They talk about how an appearance on a TV show led to him getting married, his fantastic interactive game show The Dark Room, scary gigs in pubs in small towns in Australia, being a sex person, but avoiding drugs and how Richard has inspired him and let him down in equal measure.

#357 Shamgel - Richard wonders if the man who wrote the Grange Hill theme might have been hoodwinking us all along. His guest is the formidable Dragon, Deborah Meaden. Rich is hoping he can get an investment of at least ÂŁ50 million and pitches some ideas, whilst they also discuss being thrown into Murder in Successville, being parodied by Harry and Paul, ethical business, whether the Dragons are friends, where Meaden can save Cheddar caves and how Richard has become an (arguably more successful) business owner than Deborah. Plus what itâs like to be a child prodigy who turns their back on their skill, what Rich missed out on at Butlins Minehead and why a Dragon should never back time travel.

#556 Not As Good As It Used To Be - Richard returns to Leicester and reveals the curt message of one of the comedians he asked on the podcast. His guests are two of the men behind the publishing sensation and hugely influential comedy juggernaut that is Viz magazine. They discuss the humble beginnings of this adult comic, how publishers tried and failed to sanitise it, working with Peter Cook on Tiger Mellie, the terrible imitators, who was the first person to say it wasnât as good as it used to be (and when), plus Richardâs posh introduction to the work and his pride at being in the Profanisaurus. A great chat with two down to earth comedy geniuses who changed the landscape of British comedy.

#356 Gravity - Rich has had what he thought might be the most middle class accident, but he is wrong. His guest is a listener who has won a competition to be on the show, the Dorian Grey of morning TV, Ben Shephard. They discuss how science proves Ben a better singer than a West End star, whether thereâs a man with a broom behind the Tipping Point machine, revenge as a dish served very cold, why Rich was fired from morning television, how Benâs charity work found him at Buckingham Palace and what Richard had to do for the same invitation, feeling up Julie Walters, plus a classic emergency question and Ben turning the tables and asking some stuff about testicles that he might not do on morning telly.

RHLSTP Book Club 134 - The Invisible Doctrine - Recorded in front of an audience at the prestigious Royal Geographical Society, Richard talks to journalist George Monbiot about his very readable investigation into Neo-Liberalism (co-authored with Peter Hutchinson) The Invisible Doctrine. George does most of the talking, which is probably for the best and reveals what he considers to the be the starting point of capitalism, why capitalism and commerce are not the same thing, the roots of Neo Liberalism in the closing stages of World War II, why it took 30 years to come to prominence, conspiracy theories versus conspiracy fictions, why the left has missed opportunities to defeat Neo-liberalism, what happened when Liz Truss tried to institute its policies all in one go, why Starmer is wrong to try and legitimise Reform and whether there is hope for the future and what we can do to stand up to a political system that threatens our planet. Rousing and fascinating stuff.
Event hosted by How To Academy - check out their podcast, the How To Academy Podcast, exploring big ideas with distinguished leaders, artists, and thinkers, available wherever you listen.

#555 Welsh Freddie Mercury - Richard has found out the true lyrics of a 1990s pop classic and is going to tell you them in detail. His guests are internet satirists Larry and Paul. They talk about which one is which, the long genesis of their online sketch content, the BBCâs reluctance to promote podcasts in 2008 or understand why radio shows needed video, why a Labour government (especially this one) does not mean the end of political satire, impressing Jeremy Vine and potentially insulting Matt Lucas and David Walliams, how Self Esteem being on a delayed train almost led to an embarrassing situation with Carol Vorderman, whether TV is a worthwhile ambition for people making their own content, is it a good idea to have children and Paul (or is it Larry) has come in with some of his own emergency questions, one of which is a little spicy.

#355 Mind Your Language - Richard is excited by the upcoming film Wonka and has some other ideas for origin story films. His guest is the Sidesplitting Phil Wang. They discuss how straddling two cultures can give you a humorous perspective on both, but leave you feeling rejected by both, 1970s television and how harshly we should judge it, racist nursery rhymes, Richardâs Asian hair, John Lewisâs 150 year old gametes, what box Phil needs to tick on the ethnicity questionnaire, how to get away with pooing yourself at school and why comedians are often introverts.

Book Club #133 - A Room Above a Shop - A Room Above A Shop - Richard talks to debut novelist Anthony Shapland about his hit short novel/long poem A Room Above A Shop. They chat about growing up gay in a small town in the Welsh valleys in the late 80s and how that inspired this story, about how simplicity in writing can be incredibly complex, swirling around in cesspits of your own making, the tabloid reaction to homosexuality and how that is mirrored in todayâs world, how a room above a shop becomes an escape and a place of freedom and how to stop the author intruding on the story. Excellent book, really interesting chat.

#554 Philip Schofieldâs Diabolic Pitchfork - Philip Schofieldâs Diabolic Pitchfork - Itâs been snow day this week and Rich muses unsuccessfully on whether thereâs a place when snow is neither exciting or banal for children and how snow promises much but always delivers tears. His guest is musician and actor (no, I am not doing it) Chesney Hawkes. They talk about growing up in a musical household, kissing Julia Sawalha, becoming a pop sensation at 19 and being bullied by adults who should have known better, the choice between leaning into his most famous hit or backing away from it, how love saved him from self-destruction, what Chesneyâs autobiography might be called, whether his early success is a curse or a blessing, appearing in an advert with an orangutang, dancing nude in a stately home and Richâs plans for Chesneyâs grave.

#354 Rufus Arenque - Richard canât stop thinking about a man he walked past 30 years ago but is somehow walking taller. His guest can answer the question âAre you Dave Gorman?â in the affirmative, as he is Dave Gorman. They talk about moving to Bournemouth being newsworthy, how to become a crossword millionaire, how Ted Rogered the cryptic crossword, whether logs are sentient, why Covid was a positive (as long as you ignore the negatives), how an Ian Dury song provided the key to Daveâs stand up, the shortest lived street performance career, scary Coventry Jesus and the pair try to work out when the last time they will ever be mentioned or thought of might occur (hello people of 2521).
