July 16, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 37.7 MB#11 Kamikaze Sperm - Even though eight days have passed since the Half-Marathon, Richard still aches like it was all just yesterday.

July 09, 2021 07:21 - 1 hour - 31.4 MB#10 Celebrity Ghost Train - Rich is still alive and kicking (and dancing) only a day after completing a Half Marathon in record breaking time (though to be fair he had a ringer to do it for him) and he's disappointed in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" for all kinds of reasons.

June 11, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 32.5 MB#6 Bumming C3PO - Richard talks briefly to a semi-retired postman and considers bumping his guest to chat with him more, but instead introduces perhaps the perfect RHLSTP guest David Mitchell.

But will he be able to keep a lid on the simmering mayonnaise vat of bitterness? Find out if David swears during sex,...

Retro RHLSTP 05 - Brian Blessed
June 04, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 34.4 MB#5 What Was The Question? - It’s finally come to pass. The podcasts can end now, because the whole point of starting them up has been achieved. Richard’s guest is a man who has played all theatrical parts, but most notably the part of Brian Blessed. I couldn’t even begin to describe what happened on this extraordinary night, except to say it is was a bona fide happening. Try and predict how many words Richard will say in this. It’s a free form and extraordinary, yet sometimes beautiful and ...

May 28, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 33.7 MB#4 Ian Gunpowder- Richard chats with his audience and manages to secure himself a TV writing job, as well as marvel at his once IT heavy, bearded male audience being replaced by people who might actually have had sex.

May 21, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 29.2 MB#3 I Don’t Do Blow Jobs - Richard’s living in a house of horrors and has heard a ghost, so he’s glad to be back in the safety of lovely, undangerous London to find out if Kathy Burke is as cool and amazing in real life as you really hope that she is. She’s cooler than the coolest cool kids.

May 19, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 35.2 MB#328 Playdough Tumour - Richard is surprised to discover the scale of what he had (until recently) been carting around in his scrotal sac.

They discuss how kissing pretty actors on TV isn’t the fun it might appear, whether it’s better to be beautiful or clever, which member of the royal family they’d prefer to be, why people of Richard’s gener...

May 14, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 38.6 MB#2 Do you believe in Calgon? Richard is back and exhausted from fatherhood and trying to remember how these work and he’s smarting from Alan Sugar rejecting Herring’s proposed titles for the saggy-faced Lord’s autobiography. And there are a few changes and additions thanks to the successful video Kickstarter campaign. The guest has worked with Richard before, but has no memory of it at all, it’s Middlesbrough’s finest Bob Mortimer. There is some quite specific conversation about the roads in...

May 12, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 31.4 MB#327 Double Robert Boris - Richard has some serious questions about Gio Compario from the Go Compare adverts and is also surprised to see online that he is currently single. That might make things awkward this week as he’s chatting to his (ex?) wife Catherine Wilkins. Will he find out anything he didn’t already know?

April 14, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 32.4 MB#323 Mothersacker - Like the bravest person who has ever lived Richard is still churning out podcasts, even though he’s just 5 days out of chemotherapy.

April 07, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 33.6 MB#322 Goblin Sweets - Richard is either banging on about his ball(s) or a missed joke in a film from over half a century ago.

They discuss whether the Love Guru is worth the £3.49 rental fee, facing off to the SAS in a terrible gig in Aldershot, graffiting fruit on a terrible topical news show on More 4, the research required to play a Smurf, working w...
