Richard is star struck to have the man who talks to him every morning actually answer back, but still manages to discuss the genesis of the idea, the organic way it gained popularity, why cryptic crosswords and jokes share similarities, the clamour to turn the idea into a book, why it works so well in book form too and why it’s a bad idea to do cryptic crosswords in a stand up comedy set. Plus favourite anagrams and custardy battles.</p><p><br></p><p>Buy the book here <a href=\"https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/minute-cryptic-over-160-wordplay-puzzles-to-decipher-unlock-and-untangle-angas-tiernan/7873833\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/minute-cryptic-over-160-wordplay-puzzles-to-decipher-unlock-and-untangle-angas-tiernan/7873833</a></p><p>Play Minute Cryptic here&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.minutecryptic.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.minutecryptic.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>SUPPORT THE SHOW!</strong></p><p><strong>Watch our </strong><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/61ba0fda1a8cbe093a3cf14b/episodes/61c493cb56400000142f487e/twitch.tv/rkherring\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TWITCH CHANNEL</a></p><p><strong>Become a badger and see extra content&nbsp;at our </strong><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/61ba0fda1a8cbe093a3cf14b/episodes/61c493cb56400000142f487e/rhlstp.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WEBSITE </a></p><p><strong>See details of the </strong><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/61ba0fda1a8cbe093a3cf14b/episodes/61c493cb56400000142f487e/richardherring.com/gigs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">RHLSTP LIVE DATES </a></p><p><strong>Buy DVDs and books from </strong><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/61ba0fda1a8cbe093a3cf14b/episodes/61c493cb56400000142f487e/gofasterstripe.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GO FASTER STRIPE</a></p>","author_name":"Sky Potato, Go Faster Stripe and Fuzz Productions"}
