I call it Rhlstp!
How does Richard Herring fit it all in? He seems to be sharing new material with us day in, day out. I enjoy it when he brings elements from his other podcasts, too. Richard is a podcasting veteran, and as a result, listeners can expect quality.
Thank you for introducing us to so many comedians over the years.
The original ‘comedian talking to a guest’ pod and still the best. For 15 years RHLSTP has set the benchmark as guests including Bob Mortimer, Michael Palin, James Acaster talk candidly.
BOOBIES!!!!
Subscribe and enjoy! Richard was my gateway into British comedy with his quality podcast back it 2009’ish and it’s so good, I’ve not missed an episode since.
Still great, but please don’t make everything about you Rich.
