#370 Melting Caterpillars - Richard has headed to Leicester, the home of his enemies, but is here with the offer of an exchange, plus he has a scheme to get infinite free paper. His guest is cuckoo clock reviewer Joz Norris. They discuss acceptable name abbreviations, Mr Fruit Salad, what would happen if everyone in the world blinked at the same time, unusual lockdown flatmates, the unpredictable genius of Ed Aczel, what you would do if you could pupate, ball scanning modesty screens and how Joz’s name might live forever.Live RHLSTPs coming up in the Leicester Square Theatre.

#369 Les Dawson Gladiator - Richard is in Bristol at the Slapstick Festival and starts by paying tribute to a fallen comedy hero (and the third guest to fall to the curse of RHLSTP). His guest is actor, impressionist and astronomer Jon Culshaw. They discuss Queen Victoria’s everlasting fire, how a receptionist set Jon on course to his comedy career, getting through to Tony Blair on a prank call, chasing solar eclipses, portraying David Bowie in a serious drama, whether it’s ever possible to get to know the person behind the impressions, Bill Dare’s bottom, playing a Thunderbird, the joy of Tom Baker and what it’s like to interview someone when you are being them (and why that has to become a podcast). Plus the remarkable skill required to become an impressionist of Culshaw’s standard.Live RHLSTPs coming up in the Leicester Square Theatre.

#43 You Don't Bring Me Flowers AnymoreRich is back for an unprecedented 5th series of this stupid podcast, worried that he might have the same effect on this week's guest as he did with Stephen Merchant. But it's unlikely as it's a welcome return for the man with the pink bicycle, Adam Buxton. What is the ethical age for a dog to be before you have sex with it? How much does the cartoon The Snowman inform us about the career of David Bowie? Are we ready to consider the mortality of our fathers? Plus a (prearranged?) call from Buxton junior.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

#368 Cottage Pie Hair - Richard is back at the Phoenix and wondering how future robots will judge him for the way he thinks about the robots of today. His guest is my dear Mark Watson. They discuss forgetting about working with Peter Andre, how judging yourself by the achievements of your contemporaries is maybe not the healthiest way to behave, what it’s like to be let go by your management, whether death is necessary to make life worthwhile, whether it would be cool to be cryogenically frozen, what you would do if you were a billionaire, what it would be like to be so successful that all your TV ideas got made and how technology brings us closer together and isn’t all bad.Mark’s tour dates are here https://www.markwatsonthecomedian.com/Listen to 8 Deaths (and life after them) here https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/8-Deaths-And-Life-After-Them-Audiobook/B09LR6XQNNBuy Mark’s book “Contacts” here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Contacts-Mark-Watson/dp/0008346968Live RHLSTPs coming up in Leicester and the Leicester Square Theatre.

#42 Bog BuddiesUnbeknownst to Richard and his guest, a drunken audience member collapsed during last week's podcast, and Rich wastes no time in calling the man who helped save him a sex pest. It's just what he does. But even if an audience member dies then the show must go on (especially if it was a slightly annoying audience member). This week's guest is the former Westlife obsessive, Sofie Hagen.Luckily we're in a post-Brexit world now, allowing Rich freedom to let everyone know his true thoughts about Denmark and the disappointment that is the talked-up Copenhagen. They discuss what constitutes creepiness from a stranger, what's going on with the Danish alphabet, what happens when a fan is more famous than the person they stalked and Rich gives Sofie some important lessons in badger-identification and the British Royal Family, and kites lead us to some unexpected places. This is a special edition of the podcast which has restored all previously removed material from the original release.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

#367 Piss Drip Trays - Richard is back live at the Phoenix and has become a bit obsessed with the comedy writers who created the Tory party’s worst comedy character - his guest is a man who doesn’t eat enough vitamin C, Ahir Shah. They discuss topical issues that may be out of date when this podcast airs, where the Corona virus might have originated, making comedy out of the lockdown experience, the poshest hotel in Swansea, the wonder of sperm.See Ahir’s tour dates here http://ahirshah.com/Live RHLSTPs coming up in Leicester and the Leicester Square Theatre.
