RAACN week 11
•
Tuesday April 7th 2026 - King of the Farts - Rich and Ally are back on Rich’s 14th Wedding Anniversary to finally determine whether men or women have the worst smelling flatus. Yes, it’s as bad as it sounds. If you need to get up to speed on Baggy Pants and the Nitwits head here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmZj7m_u74g&t=3s
Wednesday 8th April 2026 - Knicky-Knacky-Knocks - A clearly tired and emotional Richard Herring celebrates the end of the war and the great man who has brought about peace, whilst Ally tries to start an all-out superpower confrontation partly to put viewers of this show out of their misery. All this and an AI Jesus. What’s not to love?
Thursday 9th April 2026 - Angels - Rich is back from the brink and ready to do a documentary on his breakdown. Today he and Ally discuss why people shouldn’t be allowed to look old and also shouldn’t be allowed to try not to look old. Minimal singing to appease the kind of people who think anything is worth saying on YouTube. And also to annoy the people who think anything is worth saying on Youtube if they like the singing.
Friday 10th April 2026 - Melania - Rich and Ally discuss Melania’s recent Epstein based statement and try to work out if it’s possible to predict anything coming out of the White House. With a guest spot from someone who was also not a friend of Epstein and has no connection with him and doesn’t know who he is. Weird we got him on really.

143. Retro RHLSTP 143 - Stephen Merchant
01:06:17||Ep. 143#427 Retribution - Richard is hoping to get a bridge named after him in Great Yarmouth and hopefully his fans will do better than they did in getting him nominated for a British Comedy Award. It’s an incredible guest to start the new series, making his first appearance in almost 10 years, Stephen Merchant. Stephen has some questions for Richard about his first stint on the podcast and Richard doesn’t really have any answers. But after a bit of squirming the pair get talking about meeting your heroes, your parents meeting your heroes, how an omelette was the clincher in getting Christopher Walken on to The Outlaws, the KLF style destruction of a Banksy, the Herring’s Eye, the surprising news that drugs can be quite good fun, how Stephen made an impression at a Sarah Silverman party and his move into serious acting. Are they friends again by the end? I guess we’ll find out in ten years time.Come and see us live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE

13. RAACN week 13
49:28||Ep. 13Tuesday 21st April 2026 - Bullseye! Rich and Ally are back after a brief hiatus with the biggest news story from Spain, involving serious injury to a Spanish man, so no laughs in this one. What do you mean, just like normal?Wednesday 22nd April 2026 - Ma-kak-que - It’s been a difficult week with no sleep for Rich, but luckily he is a pro and none of that makes it to the screen and it’s another serious news day covering Barbary Apes, Finnish sky penises and the interview that all the media wanted. Everything is OK. You have nothing to fear. Apart from Ally coming to your house in the night which is about 50% likely to happen. Sorry.Friday 24th April 2026 - Nuke Em - Rich and Ally are back for the last Newsround of the Week and Rich is a bit tired from performing every night. How did John Craven do it? Not that this is anything like anything he did. They talk about nuclear war and York City’s promotion chances. Would a nuclear bomb or York failing to get promotion be worse? That’s just one of the questions that is not addressed in this episode, which might include some songs.
