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
A pity.
This is what he does best. I also like his honesty, such as the Sadia Azmat interview, where she's woefully uninformed, and he manages to politely and firmly push back, while keeping the conversation going.
Less interested in interviews with old boys, Bernie Clifton was a real snooze.
