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.
