  • RHLSTP Book Club 168 - Danny Robins
    Feb 6 2026

    RHLSTP Book Club #168 - Do You Believe in Ghosts? - Rich is back at the podcast to talk to fellow TWTTIN alumnus, Danny Robins about his fun and spooky kids’ book “Do You Believe in Ghosts?” They chat about the amazing media empire that he’s built up around his interest in spectres, how his play was partly responsible for Lily Allen’s new album, whether getting kids interested in the supernatural risks sending them down conspiracy theory rabbit holes, risking his own kids’ safety to put his theories to the test, the importance of an open mind with a healthy dose of scepticism, playing the Albert Hall and the power of darkness.

  • RHLSTP 597 - Mark Simmons
    Feb 4 2026

    RHLSTP #597 - University of Bee-Keeping - Richard is back at the Podcast Room where he is chatting with one-liner king, Mark Simmons. They discuss the difficulties of producing a good succinct joke, how rarely Richard manages it, how the language used can serve as a hidden copyright sign in the DNA of the thing and what can be done if someone nicks a good one to make into a greetings card. Plus the perils of being the support act for a sore-throated Seann Walsh, whether the man at Pret fancied or pitied Richard, living with a poltergeist and the importance of giving your audience something to laugh at. Plus why it’s fun to punctuate one-liners with patience testing nonsense.

  • Retro RHLSTP 131 - Humphrey Ker
    Feb 2 2026

    #420 Watch Out! Watch Out! - Richard has come up with a way to save the UK hundreds of millions of pounds - is it his turn to be Chancellor of the Exchequer? His guest is actor and football executive Humphrey Ker. They discuss his part in the fantastic TV show and community project “Welcome to Wrexham”, what it’s like to have an entire football team laugh at you, being observed when doing a self-tape for a huge TV project, why being a giant isn’t great for getting roles in the UK, what prompted the decision to make a go of it in America, being possibly the poshest person to ever appear on the podcast, why not everyone who goes to Eton is a monster, why the upper classes are obsessed with putting animals’ heads on the wall and what it’s like being a Humphrey.

Gives a great insight into the world of comedy, as well as many other facets of life. Takes a bit of time to get into his style of interviewing, but once you're hooked you're hooked. Highly recommended

Great interviewer, very funny and insightful
