  • Time to retire. A pale imitation of what it once was.

    To summarise: it’s just not funny anymore. To begin, knocking-on for six minutes of adverts is unacceptable. Typically, there is then five minutes of painfully unfunny stand up with only Herring laughing at his own… well… they’re not jokes, so I don’t know why he’s laughing. Halfway through the podcast, you usually get another three minutes of adverts. Just listening to the lack of audience laughter during the show is painful. The quality of guests has nosedived in recent years. The well has tru... more

  • If I could give it six stars, I would probably still give it a five (joking!)

    I was hanging out with Brian Blessed and Adam Buxton the other day. We were all talking about how great men with beards are, when one of them said “Does anyone still listen to RHLSTP?” That’s what they called it. And I said yeah, it’s the best. If you don’t know already, Richard is probably best known, best known for his work on the BBC 4 radio program “Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World”. That’s why I tuned in originally. But look, I can’t imagine anyone who regularly listened to podcasts hasn’... more

  • Great guests…

    but like most left wing comedians, he cannot help but shoehorn his politics and his idea of free speech into his shows. Listen to him gleefully fantasising about the deaths of those political figures who do not hold the same “liberal” views as him. The irony is lost on his type of progressive. more

  • Absolute Best ‘Comedian

    The original ‘comedian talking to a guest’ pod and by far the best. For over a decade Richard Herring has been setting the bar for podcast guests and the inimitable Emergency Questions he asks them. National treasures Bob Mortimer and Sir Michael Palin, comedy royalty James Acaster, and Katherine Ryan, showbiz A-list Harry Shearer and Brett Goldstein, music sensations Suggs, Louise Wener, academics Alice Roberts and Mary Beard... They’ve all graced the RHLSTP guest’s chair. What more could yo... more
