Essential listening
Seems very up himself and takes great delight at constantly putting down others. How can you warm to that or find it funny? It almost feels awkward for the guests.
I have been listening to RHLSTP since it first started - 18 years ago or so? Best interview podcast still to this day I find! 🔥 Love the whole team that has since joined Richard: Left Bollock, Ally and the mostly inaudible Woolfy the dog on all the other podcasts. And of course the Book Club!
Great podcast - love listening
Been listening since the start, Richard’s style is unique and always brings out the best (or worst) in his guests. My companion in bed every night, thank you so much Rich
